Self-similar solutions for the blast wave problem in magnetogasdynamics, II.

The problem of explosion along a line in a gas cloud in the presence of transverse magnetic field has been considered. Similarity solutions of the adiabatic motion of a gas behind an infinitely strong cylindrical shock wave propagating into an infinitely conducting medium at rest is obtained. Shock radius varies exponentially with time and density is inversely proportional to fourth power of shock radius just ahead of the shock front.
