Propagation of shock waves in a magneto viscous medium    [PDF]

R. K. Anand, Harish C. Yadav, Manoj K. Mishra
Recently the authors [Phys. Scr. 83 (2011) 065402] have studied the entropy production in a viscous medium due to the propagation of shock waves. In the present paper, a theoretical model has been developed for a more realistic problem that deals with the study of entropy production due to propagation of shock waves in a viscous medium under the effect of a static magnetic field, for the cases of plane, cylindrical and spherical symmetry of the shock. Exact solutions for the flow variables have been discovered and their numerical estimations in the shock transition region have been analyzed with respect to static magnetic field, shock symmetry, shock strength, and specific heat ratio.
