Different cases of the collisions between the solar rotational MHD discontinuities, going through the flux tubes, and the contact discontinuity, describing the solar transition region, are studied. It is shown in the frame of nonlinear MHD problem of Riemann that both a fast and a slow shock wave may appear in the solar corona. By the way the first falling rotational discontinuity being 3-dimensional helps the 2-dimensional (described by the theorem of complanarity) shock wave to appear as a refracted one. Thus the behaviour of the magnetic field is changed in the result of the splitting of the arbitrary discontinuity. The catastrophic case of the interactions of the solar MHD discontinuities due to the nonlinear character is indicated. Some points of the refracted coronal shock waves appearance in the frame of the SOHO data are discussed.
