Scientific paper

Similarity solutions of an isothermal flow of a perfect gas behind spherical shock waves are studied in the presence of magnetic field. The flow is caused by a propelling contact surface (or expanding piston) and its total energy increases with time. The shock is propagating in a medium at rest with uniform and nonuniform density. Two important models have been also considered in which the magnetic field is proportional to r exp -1 and r exp -3/2.
