Abstract

In this paper we derived asymptotic equation which describes the far-field behaviour of waves in magnetogasdynamics i.e. under the influence of strong magnetic field. The result is an inviscid Burger's equation which enables us to study the various effects that appear in the propagation of plane, cylindrical and spherical waves. A solution to this problem at a particular initial value is obtained. The graphs obtained by the same are compared with those obtained on using Fourier Galerkin spectral method. The results showcase the effects of magnetic field.
