Self-Similar Cylindrical Ionizing Shock Waves in a Non-uniform Gas with Radiation Heat-Flux

Self-similar flows in the background, a gasionizing cylindrical shock wave, associated with radiation heat-flux, in an ideal gas are considered. The ionizing shock is considered to be propagating in a medium at rest with variable density permeated by an azimuthal magnetic meadow. The electrical conductivity of the gas is neverending behind shock and zero ahead of it. Effect of radiation flux and the variation of initial density and the rate of energy input from the inner contact surface on the flowfield behind the shock and on the shock proliferation are investigated.
