Abstract

A modified hodograph transformation is used to obtain an exact solution of the equations governing the one-dimensional unsteady flow of an ideal, inviscid, perfectly conducting compressible fluid, subjected to an oblique magnetic field. This solution is used to obtain an approximate representation of the path of an initially uniform shock wave which intersects a centered simple wave. The solutions for the corresponding problems in the conventional, non-magnetic case and for a transverse orientation of the applied magnetic field are contained as special limiting cases of the solutions of the present paper. This provides a valuable check on the theory.
