The effect of overtaking disturbances upon the free propagation of strong cylindrical hydromagnetic shock through a self-gravitating gas has been studied by an approximating technique developed by Yadav. Assuming an initial density distribution law as ρ0=ρ'r-w, where ρ' is the density at the axis of symmetry and ω is a constant, the analytical relation for shock velocity and shock strength modified by overtaking waves has been obtained under two conditions: viz., (i) when the applied axial magnetic field is strong and (ii) when the field is weak. The results obtained here are compared with those for a freely propagating shock. The conclusions arrived at agreed with experimental results. It is shown that the applications of the CCW method and the neglect of overtaking disturbances are equivalent.
