Abstract

The propagation of weak discontinuities headed by a wave front of arbitrary shape in three dimensions is investigated in an electrically conducting thermally radiating inviscid gas flow. The critical stage of shock formation as a result of breakdown has been determined. The role of electrical conductivity and radiation is to cause damping. Particular cases of the diverging and converging waves are discussed to explore the possibilities of the shock formation by assuming the medium to be uniform and at rest.
