Self-similar problem with increasing energy in radiative magneto-gas dynamics. (English) Zbl 0559.76115

Astrophys. Space Sci. 105, 161-170 (1984).
In the present paper self-similar solutions have been investigated for the propagation of piston driven, radiative gas-dynamic shocks into an inhomogeneous ideal gas permeated by a current free azimuthal magnetic field for spherical symmetry. The effects of radiation flux and magnetic field together have been seen in the region of interest on the other flow variables. The total energy of the flow between the piston and the shock is taken to be independent on the shock radius obeying a power law. The radiative pressure and energy have been neglected.
