Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces a resolution to an initial shear flow discontinuity in one-dimensional hydromagnetic flow. The author begins by explaining the formulation of the problem and deriving the equations of one-dimensional hydromagnetic motion, which lead to the use of hydromagnetic shocks and simple waves to describe the resolution. They then thoroughly investigate switch-on shocks and fast gas shocks, as well as slow and fast simple waves, leading to the construction of the solution to the initial discontinuity problem. The implications of these findings are then discussed, with particular attention to the behavior of the magnetic field and the nature of the motion in different flow regions. The book also investigates the dependence of pressure ratios and other quantities of interest on the parameters that characterize the state of the medium, providing numerical results and approximate expressions for specific cases. The depth of the subject is broad, including topics in gas dynamics, fluid mechanics, shock waves, magnetic fields, and the physics of plasmas. The book is a valuable reference for researchers in these fields, as well as for anyone interested in the behavior of fluids and plasmas in the presence of magnetic fields.
