Abstract
A submodel of the equations of ideal magnetohydrodynamics is constructed that generalizes the classical motion of an ideal continuous medium with plane waves. It is shown that, in contrast to classical motion, in this submodel the velocity and magnetic-field vectors can change direction in a plane orthogonal to a distinguished spatial direction. The submodel is described by a system of equations with two independent variables and a finite relation specifying the orientation of the vector fields in space. The solutions of the submodel define substantially spatial processes and singularities in the motion of continuous media which cannot be studied in the classical one-dimensional formulation.
