Abstract
A similarity solution is developed describing the propagation of a strong cylindrical shock in an applied azimuthal magnetic field. The stationary gas is nonconductive and the shocked gas is taken to have a finite electrical conductivity. The total axial current is maintained constant by external means. Upon comparison of flows for which the total gas energy is the same, it is found that the interaction reduces the shock velocity by only a few percent although the pressure distributions differ markedly.
