Boyeva G. Transverse magnetogasdynamical shock waves in nonhomogeneous plasma media

Object of investigation: transverse magnetogasdynamical shock waves in nonhomogeneous plasma medium. Aim of investigation: developing theoretical basis for the propagation of transverse magnetogasdynanical shock waves in nonhomogeneous media, studying their properties and influence on them of magnetic field. Methods of the investigation: Whitham's and Kompaneetz's analytical methods, numerical methods. Novelty of the work: generalization of the Whitham's method for a class of problems concerned with the propagation and stability of the shock waves in the inhomogeneous medium. Field of usage: flows in the laboratory shock tubes, channals, natural phenomena with shock waves.
