Abstract

An investigation is made into the propagation of a one-dimensional combustion wave, which consists of a flame front and a precursor shock wave which pass down a tube closed at one end, in the presence of a transverse magnetic field in the undisturbed gas at rest. The shock wave is assumed to be of sufficient strength to ionize completely the initially non-electrically-conducting gas and the conditions at the flame front are taken to satisfy the Chapman–Jouguet condition. Details of the solution are compared with the corresponding results for ordinary gasdynamic deflagration.
