An explosion model in magne to gasdynamics

By taking into account the interaction with magnetic field, in an axially symmetric inhomogeneous medium and assuming Gaussian density profile in radial direction instead of the cusped exponential law, a point explosion has been investigated by generalising the method suggested by Laumbach and Probstein (1969). The shock envelope becomes increasingly elongated along the axis of rotation, until it finally breaks through into the intergalactic space before it can spread considerably in equatorial directions as in ordinary gasdynamics. A comparison has been made between our results and those obtained in ordinary gasdynamics.Explosion models of double radio sources and related objects are suggested.
