Abstract

Nonstationary gas-dynamical processes occuring in the disks of spiral galaxies due to the external gravitational field have been studied using numerical simulations. A series of hydrodynamical discontinuities, including strong shock fronts and contact discontinuities, arises as a result of the nonlinear, supersonic interaction between emerging spiral formations and the flow of matter in the two-armed global morphology.
