Abstract

The shock waves are important features in the analysis of transonic magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) flows where thermal radiation could also be significant. In this paper the effects of black-body radiation on non-relativistic shock waves in an ideal radiation MHD model for the optically thick case are discussed. Distilled shock conditions were derived and discussed for the case of a fixed ratio of specific heats of an ideal gas (γ) and ratio of gas to total pressure (b). The special case, when jumps in γ and/or b are allowed, was also considered.
