Scientific paper

The propagation of magnetohydrodynamic spherical shock waves in a decreasing density medium is considered. A series of equations is derived which describe both adiabatic and isothermal flows, using an approximate method similar to Whitham's (1958). The effect of initial magnetic fields on shock velocity is discussed, and a comparison is made between the adiabatic and isothermal cases. The comparison shows that the zero-temperature gradient condition behind the shock has a damping effect on the velocity of the shock waves.
