Abstract

A point explosion in a spheroid with axially symmetric exponential density distribution is investigated by generalizing the method of Laumbach and Probstein to include the effects of a magnetic field. It is shown that the shock velocity decreases and tends to zero. Also, the elongation of the shock envelope along the axis of symmetry is much reduced and the blowout of the shock wave is removed on account of the magnetic field.
