Many gas dynamic problems in astrophysics involve the hypersonic expansion of a material shell supported by pressure forces. The thin-shell approximation basically consists of treating the shell as a two-dimensional surface. Various restricted versions of this approximation are often employed in axisymmetric configurations to determine either the motion of the shell under the condition that it contains a negligible mass, or the steady state geometrical form of the shell whenever the inertial terms are included. In this paper, a general system of time-dependent equations for the axisymmetric, hypersonic, hydromagnetic flow of a swept-up massive shell is formulated based upon the thin-shell approximation. The method of analysis incorporates previously considered physical aspects, such as the centrifugal correction, with the following new features: thermal pressure within the shell, finite thickness of the shell, and magnetic fields.
