The dynamical effects of a cylindrically symmetric moving shock wave in a self-gravitating and rotating ideal gas medium influenced by a magnetic field and radiation heat flux are investigated. The dynamics of the shock wave are governed by the one-dimensional motion of the gas, and the energy equation contains the effect of thermal radiation in the setting of an optically thick limit. A mathematical model is established using the Lie symmetry method, and all possible cases of similarity solutions are obtained by choosing different subalgebras from the optimal system. The numerical computations are performed using a fourth-order Runge–Kutta method. For a power law shock path, the contour plots of flow variables such as density and velocity are presented for convenient visualization. The variations of the shock strength and the flow variables in the physical flow field region behind the shock front with changes in the values of the gravitational parameter, rotational parameter, adiabatic index, ambient magnetic field strength, similarity exponent, and radiative heat transfer parameter are investigated. It is found that increases in the ambient magnetic field strength and the radiative heat transfer parameter lead to decay of the shock wave. For a power law shock path, it is found that increases in the gravitational parameter and adiabatic index cause decay of the shock wave, whereas for an exponential law shock path, the shock strength is increased by increases in the values of these parameters.
I. INTRODUCTION
Experimental investigations and observations in astrophysics reveal that the outer atmospheres of planets, stars, and galaxies undergo rotational motion due to the spin of these objects. This rotational motion induces macroscopic motion at supersonic velocities within the atmospheres, leading to the generation of shock waves. Consequently, the rotation of planets and stars exerts a significant influence on the processes occurring in their outer layers, and thus explosions within rotating gaseous atmospheres are of considerable astrophysical interest.1–4 Alzahrani and Khan5 discussed entropy generation, Joule heating, and homogenous and heterogeneous chemical reactions in Ree–Eyring fluid flow between double rotating disks. Chaturani6 examined the propagation of cylindrical shock waves through a gas experiencing solid body rotation using the similarity method of Sedov.7 Levin and Skopina8 obtained a condition for the existence of Chapman–Jouguet waves and studied shock and detonation waves in rotating gas flows. Nath9 discussed the similarity solution for a strong shock moving with an exponential-law shock path in rotating dusty gas flow.
During the last few decades, there has been considerable research interest in electrically conducting fluid flows, such as those involved in the motion of electrically conducting fluids, supersonic motion of interstellar gas, supernova explosions, the Earth’s magnetic field, and flow through magnetized nozzles. Problems related to the existence and properties of magnetic fields are extremely important in the study of geological and astrophysical events.10–18 Raza et al.19 studied the impact of magnetic fields on entropy generation in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) nanofluids using a neural network approach. Mishra et al.20 studied the effects of magnetic field in dusty nanofluids containing nanoparticles such as copper and silver as the conducting medium. In studies of high-temperature and low-pressure phenomena, the gaseous medium is often assumed to follow the ideal gas law, which reduces the complexity of the physical model. We shall adopt this assumption in the present study. There have been many investigations of implosion shock propagation in a perfect gas with or without a magnetic field.21–25 The acceleration of plane shock waves described by solid body motion in a perfect gas in the presence of a magnetic field were discussed by Golubyatnikov and Kovalevskaya.26 Nath27 studied the behavior of a shock wave in rotating perfect gas flow in the presence of an azimuthal magnetic field and obtained a similarity solution.
Thermal radiation is a mode of transfer of heat energy as electromagnetic waves. The effect of radiation becomes significant for high-temperature phenomena in medium at low density, such those encountered in blast waves due to powerful explosions, large electrical discharges in rotating medium, the solar corona and solar wind, and supernova explosions.28 The interaction of radiation heat flux and gasdynamics in the absence or presence of magnetic fields was analyzed by Pai,29 and the behavior of shock waves in the presence of radiation was studied by Marshak.30 Raza et al.31 discussed the thermal properties of graphene oxide (GO) and molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) nanoparticles with the help of fractional derivatives. There have been a number of studies of thermal radiative phenomenon with the aim of improving the heat transfer behavior. Sulochana et al.32 investigated the impact of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and hybrid biodiesel on a compression ignition engine with regard to emission, combustion, and performance. Khan et al.33 analyzed the thermal mechanisms involved in mixed convective flow of a Reiner–Philippoff nanofluid, with an assessment of entropy generation. Thermal performance is affected by thermal radiation, Ohmic dissipation, and nonuniform heat sources and sinks. Nazir et al.34 examined the convective flow of a nanofluid in a square container under the influence of thermal boundary conditions. Nicastro35 studied the gasdynamic equations in the presence of radiation under the assumption that the gas was optically thick and obtained a similarity solution. When the mean free path of radiation in a gas is small, the gas is said to be optically thick, and conversely, when the mean free path is long, the gas is optically thin. For an optically thick gas, the expression for the radiation heat flux takes a very simple form. The mean free path of radiation represents the mean distance over which a photon travels before it is absorbed by the molecules of the gas. Thus, it is similar to the mean free path considered in the kinetic theory of gases, which represents the mean distance between collisions. The mean free path of radiation is defined as NR = 1/κρ, where κ is the Rosseland mean absorption coefficient and ρ is the density of the medium. Therefore, if a gas is optically thick, then the value of the absorption coefficient is high, and the effects of radiation in the medium are significant.29 Summers36 and Hutchens37 discussed blast waves generated owing to the release of huge amounts of energy in conducting and nonconducting media, respectively. Chu et al.38 discussed the effects of magnetic fields and radiation on steady MHD flow of Maxwell fluid generated by the stretching of two infinite disks. Vishwakarma et al.39 and Vishwakarma and Patel40 discussed shock wave propagation in a nonrotating and a rotating nonideal gas in the presence of a magnetic field and radiation heat flux. Vishwakarma and Nath41 and Nath42 studied the behavior of shock waves in the presence of radiation and conduction heat fluxes in rotating dusty gas. The propagation of MHD waves in the presence of a magnetic field was discussed by Rosenau and Frankenthal,43,44 with and without consideration of the thermal conductivity of the medium. Cioffi et al.45 studied supernova remnants in the interstellar medium produced by blast waves due to supernova explosion. Nath et al.46 investigated the effects of magnetic field, radiation, and gravitation on shock wave propagation, using the similarity method of Sedov.7 Nath and Vishwakarma47 discussed shock wave propagation in a nonideal gas in the presence of an azimuthal magnetic field, radiation, and heat conduction, without taking into account the effects of a rotating medium. Nath48 extended the problem studied by Nath and Vishwakarma47 by considering these rotational effects.
The effects of a self-gravitating gaseous medium are important for the formation of stars and galaxies and for sudden expansion of instantaneous line explosions. Gravitational effects on shock wave propagation have been the subjects of a number of studies.49–52 Larson53 numerically solved the hydrodynamic equations governing the evolution of a protostar during its collapse under self-gravitation. Rogers54 obtained analytical solutions for blast wave propagation in an atmosphere with varying density ahead of the wavefront. Sakurai55 extended the work of Kopal50 by considering variable shock strength. Shock wave propagation in a self-gravitating gas with or without magnetic field effects has been studied using a variety of techniques.56–58 Similarity solutions for the propagation of cylindrical shock waves in gravitating or nongravitating perfect gas with radiation heat flux were obtained by Singh59 and Singh and Vishwakarma,60 and Vishwakarma and Singh61 extended this work by considerating radiation as well as heat conduction fluxes. An exact solution was obtained by Nath et al.62 for a shock wave in a self-gravitating perfect gas with radiation flux and magnetic field, but without considering the effects of a rotating medium.
In most of the above studies, the method of dimensional analysis developed by Sedov7 was used to discuss the propagation of shock waves. An alternative approach is represented by the use of Lie symmetries. The Lie symmetry method was originally developed by Sophus Lie in the 19th century.63 It is a powerful method for solving nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) and for studying nonlinear mathematical models. This method is based on the invariance properties of differential equations under an infinitesimal group of transformations. Using invariance conditions on differential equations, the infinitesimal generators of the transformation group containing arbitrary constants are obtained. Different choices of arbitrary constants in the infinitesimal generators provide all possible solutions of the system of basic equations of motion.63,64 A brief discussion of the Lie theoretic method and its applications in different areas can be found in Refs. 63 and 65–68. Similarity solutions for the propagation of shock wave in gases were obtained by Nath and Devi69 and Singh70 using a Lie group transformation method. Using the Lie symmetry method, an optimal system was discussed by Ovsiannikov,71 who constructed a global matrix for the adjoint transformation. The concept of an optimal system is very useful for minimizing the search required to obtain all different solutions of a system of PDEs that leave the system invariant. Recently, Nath and Maurya72 and Nath and Kadam73 used the Lie symmetry method to obtain the optimal system for the propagation of shock waves in a self-gravitating nonideal or ideal gas in the absence of presence of monochromatic radiation in a rotating medium. Hu et al.74 proposed a promising new approach for finding the optimal system of Lie subalgebras for a one-dimensional general system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). An optimal system of one-, two-, and three-dimensional Lie subalgebras for two-phase mass flow model was discussed by GhoshHajra et al.,75 and a similar approach for three-dimensional gasdynamical equations was presented by Mandal et al.76 Using a Lie symmetry method, Nadjafikhah and Zaeim77 studied the classification of subalgebras in a hyperbolic space for wave equations.
In the problem considered in the present paper, the Lie symmetry method is used to derive all possible similarity solutions of a mathematical model that describes shock wave propagation in a self-gravitating perfect gas under the influence of a magnetic field, the rotation of the medium, and a radiation heat flux. We determine the inequivalent classes of subalgebras (optimal classes), of which there are 14 in the problem under consideration. Then, from these 14 inequivalent optimal classes of subalgebras, we obtain the optimal system. For each optimal class, group-invariant solutions of the problem exist, but our aim is to obtain the similarity solution, and it turns out that of the 14 cases, only three allow the existence of similarity solutions.
The present study generalizes the work of Singh59 by taking into consideration the rotational effect of the medium and the presence of a magnetic field as well as a gravitational force. It also represents a generalization of the work of Singh and Vishwakarma,60 again by taking into account the effect of a magnetic field and the rotational effect of the medium. In Refs. 59 and 60, the similarity solution for the power-law shock path was obtained by using the dimensional analysis method develop by Sedov,7 but we obtain similarity solutions in three cases, two with a power-law shock path and one with an exponential-law shock path, using a Lie symmetry method.63,71 Our mathematical model may provide an improved basis for understanding a variety of astrophysical and aerodynamic phenomena, such as supernova explosions, the central regions of starburst galaxies, nuclear explosions, and exploding wire experiments on the pinch effect in rotating media.1,2,29
To obtain similarity solutions of the problem under consideration, we assume that the azimuthal and axial fluid velocities and the density and magnetic field in the ambient medium all vary with the spatial coordinate. We also assume that the fluid is inviscid and perfectly conducting. In addition, we take the radial fluid velocity in the ambient medium to be zero.
Under these assumptions, numerical solution of the problem indicates that when the value of the gravitational parameter is increased, the shock wave strength decreases in the case of a power-law shock path and increases in the case of an exponential-law shock path. It is also found that the impact of the rotational parameter on the shock strength is the reverse of that of the gravitational parameter. However, the impacts of the magnetic field strength and radiation parameter on shock strength are similar for both power-law and exponential-law shock paths. In addition, the shock strength varies with a change in the magnetic field from axial to azimuthal.

Proceeding as in case II, we ontain the same similarity variable and similarity transformations as given in Eqs. (31) and (59), respectively, and the shock jump condition as given in Eq. (58) with σ4 = 0 for the initial values of variables as given in Eq. (34). In this case, by using the similarity transformations (59) in the system of fundamental Eqs. (2)–(8) and jump conditions (58), we obtain the same system of ODEs (61)–(68) and shock jump conditions (69) with σ4 = 0.
D. Case IV
Here, the subalgebras are Φ5, Φ9, Φ12, Φ14, Φ15, Φ17, Φ18, Φ20, Φ21, Φ24, Φ25, Φ27, and Φ28 in Table III. The similarity variable and the similarity transformations can be obtained, but the shock jump condition is not invariant for these subalgebras. Thus, a similarity solution does not exist in this case.
E. Case V
Here, the subalgebras are Φ1, Φ2, Φ3, Φ4, Φ7, Φ8, Φ10, Φ11, Φ13, Φ19, Φ22 in Table III. For these, a similarity variable and similarity transformations cannot be obtained, and hence a similarity solution does not exist in this case.
VI. NUMERICAL SOLUTION AND DISCUSSION OF RESULTS
The systems of ODEs (41)–(48) and (61)–(68) for the cases of a power-law shock path (PLSP) and an exponential-law shock path (ELSP), respectively, are integrated numerically with respect to the similarity variables η and η* with boundary conditions (49) and (69), respectively. A fourth-order Runge–Kutta method is used for the integrations. For these numerical calculations, we have taken the values of the physical parameters as follows:39,56,60,70,72
PLSP: , ; Gp = 0, 0.01, 0.025; , 0.085; Rp = 0, 0.06, 0.08; So = 0, 1; Γp = 2, 4.
ELSP: , ; Ge = 0, 0.04, 0.06; , 0.02, 0.03, 0.035, 0.04; Re = 0.55, 0.58, 0.6; ; Γe = 0.5, 0.7.
For the PLSP, the value Gp = 0 represents the nongravitating case, for which our solution corresponds to that obtained by Singh.70 The values Rp = 0, So = 0, and Gp = 0 for the PLSP represent the nongravitating and nonrotating case, for which our solution corresponds to that obtained by Vishwakarma et al.39 for a perfect gas. The values , Rp = 0, So = 0 and Gp = 0 represent the nonmagnetic, nonrotating, and nongravitating case, for which our solution corresponds to that obtained by Singh.59 Thus, our present work for the PLSP represents a generalization of that in Refs. 39, 59, and 70. For the ELSP, our work represents a generalization of that by Singh70 in that it additionally considers the effect of gravitation. Also, Singh70 assumed an azimuthal magnetic field, but we have considered both axial and azimuthal magnetic fields. The value corresponds to a relativistic gas and to a fully ionized gas, both of which are appropriate in an the astrophysical context.69 These values of γ characterize the most general ranges that are seen in real stars. Also, the value of γ (γ < 1 or γ > 1) is in the general range corresponding to different fluids present in the interstellar medium.79,80 Low values of γ are expected to lead to the formation of dense clusters of low-mass stars, whereas γ > 1 probably results in the formation of isolated and massive stars.81 In our problem, the value of the parameter is taken in the range because Rosenau and Frankenthal43,82 have shown that the magnetic field has a remarkable effect on flow variables and on shocks when . Also, for , the shock wave degenerates into a weak discontinuity that does not compress the gas. The choices of the nondimensional gravitational parameter for the PLSP and Ge = Gπρ*/δ2 for the ELSP are typical values, because all quantities in this parameter are positive and no restrictions on the values of m*, A, ρ* and δ are obtained, whereas π is a fixed constant and the value of G depends on the mass of the object. Thus, the values Gp = 0, 0.01, 0.025 and Ge = 0, 0.04, 0.06 are taken such that these parameters have significant effects on the flow variables and on shocks. The values of the rotational parameters Rp and Re are taken so that the conditions for the existence of shock waves as obtained from Eqs. (37) and (56), respectively, are satisfied: for the PLSP and for the ELSP. The choices of the values of the nondimensional radiative heat transfer parameters for the PLSP and for the ELSP are typical. The values of the radiative heat transfer parameters Γp and Γe are inversely related to the absorption coefficient or opacity of the medium.
Tables IV and V show the values of the density ratio at the shock front and the position of the inner boundary surface (IBS) for the PLSP, and Tables VI and VII show the corresponding values for the ELSP. Physically, the IBS may result from an exploding wire in a swirling detonation engine, the surface of a stellar corona, condensed explosives, or a diaphragm retaining a very high-pressure driving gas. With the help of the data in these tables, we have plotted the flow variables between the IBS and shock front in Figs. 1 and 2 for a PLSP and in Figs. 3 and 4 for the ELSP.

From Figs. 1 and 2, we observe that on moving from the shock front toward the IBS, the flow variables u/ub, ρ/ρb, h/hb, J/Jb, and lz increase, but v/vb, w/wb, p/pb, m/mb, and lθ decrease for the PLSP. (These variables exhibit a similar flow field nature in the contour plots for the PLSP, as can be seen in Figs. 5–14.) Also, for the ELSP, Figs. 3(a), 3(c)–3(e), 3(g)–3(i), and 3(j) and Figs. 4(a)–4(e) and 4(g)–4(j) show that the variables u/ub, p/pb, and J/Jb increase, but v/vb, w/wb, m/mb, and lθ decrease.The variables ρ/ρb and lz increase with increasing axial magnetic field, but with increasing azimuthal magnetic field they first increase and then decrease rapidly after attaining a maximum on moving from the shock front to the IBS [see panels (b) and (j) of Figs. 3 and 4]. Figures 3(f) and 4(f) show that the variable h/hb first increases and then decreases after reaching a maximum in the flow field region behind the shock.

In Figs. 5–14, we present contour plots to provide a visual representation of the flow variables such as density and velocity, and to see the effect of the rotational parameter, gravitational parameter, and magnetic field parameter behind the shock front for the PLSP. In these contour plots, dark blue color represents lower values of η and light blue represents higher values. We have analyzed the distribution of flow variables from higher to lower values of η. The horizontal lines in the contour plots represent the values of the flow variables at different values of η.
Comparison of panels (a) and (b) in Figs. 5–14 illustrates the variation in the flow variables when the strength of the magnetic field is increased, comparison of panels (b) and (c) in each figure illustrates the variation in flow variables when the value of the gravitational parameter is increased, and comparison of panels (b) and (d) illustrates the variation in flow variables when the value of the rotational parameter is increased. To reveal these variations in the flow variables, we select a value of η = 0.96, and we find that when the magnetic field strength and the value of the gravitational parameter are increased, u/ub, ρ/ρb, h/hb, J/Jb, and lθ decrease, whereas v/vb, w/wb, p/pb, m/mb, and lz increase. The rotational parameter has the reverse effects on these flow variables compared with the effects of the magnetic field and the gravitational parameter. Similar effect of these parameters on the flow variables are also found from Fig. 1 (see Secs. VI A–VI C). Similarly, we can plot contours of the flow variables for different values of the physical parameters to compare with the results obtained from Figs. 1–4.
A. Effects of an increase in the value of the gravitational parameter Gp or Ge
The distance between the positions of the IBS and the shock front increases with increasing Gp, whereas it decreases with increasing Ge, i.e., the shock decays with Gp for the PLSP, and grows with Ge for the ELSP (see Tables IV and VI). The flow variables v/vb, w/wb, p/pb, m/mb, and lθ increase, whereas u/ub, ρ/ρb, h/hb, J/Jb, and lz decrease in the whole flow field region behind the shock front for the PLSP with Gp (see Fig. 1). The effects of Gp on u/ub, ρ/ρb, m/mb, p/pb, and J/Jb are similar to the results obtained by Singh and Vishwakarma60 in the magnetic and nonmagnetic cases. The flow variables u/ub, v/vb, w/wb, m/mb, J/Jb, and lθ decrease in general with increasing Ge [see Figs. 3(a), 3(c), 3(d), and 3(g)–3(i)]. The variables ρ/ρb, h/hb, and lz increase near the shock front and decrease near the IBS with increasing Ge, but Ge has the reverse effects on p/pb behind the shock front [see Figs. 3(b), 3(e), 3(f), and 3(j)].
From the above results, we observe that with an increase in the value of the gravitational parameter Gp or Ge, the flow field region between the shock front and the IBS expands for the PLSP, whereas it contracts for the ELSP. For the PLSP, this reduces the compression of the shocked region, and the mass flux m/mb decreases; however, for the ELSP, the shocked region is highly compressed, and so the mass flux m/mb increases.
B. Effects of an increase in the value of the rotational parameter Rp or Re
The distance between the position of the IBS and shock front decreases with increasing Rp, whereas it increases with increasing Re, i.e., the shock strength grows with Rp for the PLSP and decays with Re for the ELSP (see Tables IV and VI). The flow variables u/ub, ρ/ρb, h/hb, J/Jb and lz increase, whereas v/vb, w/wb, p/pb, m/mb, and lθ decrease behind the shock front for the PLSP with Rp (see Fig. 1). The flow variables u/ub, v/vb, w/wb, m/mb, J/Jb, and lθ increase in general with increasing Re [see Figs. 3(a), 3(c), 3(d), and 3(g)–3(i)]. The variables ρ/ρb, h/hb and lz decrease near the shock front and increase near the IBS with increasing Re [see Figs. 3(b), 3(f), and 3(j)]. The variable p/pb increases near the shock front and decreases near the IBS with increasing Re in the nongravitating case, but in the gravitating case, it decreases in the whole flow field with increasing Re [see Fig. 3(e)].
Physically, this means that with an increase in the value of the rotational parameter Rp or Re, the width of the flow field region between the shock front and the IBS is reduced owing to a decrease in compressibility for the PLSP, and so the shock become stronger. Also, the width of the flow field region between the shock front and the IBS is enlarged owing to an increase in compressibility for the ELSP, and so the shock wave decay with increasing Re becomes weaker.
C. Effects of an increase in the magnetic field strength
The distance between the position of the IBS and the shock front increases with increasing , i.e., the shock strength decays in the presence of a magnetic field for both the PLSP and ELSP (see Tables V and VII). For the PLSP, the flow variables u/ub, ρ/ρb, h/hb, and J/Jb, lz decrease; however, lθ, m/mb, p/pb, v/vb, and w/wb increase with increasing in the whole flow field region behind the shock front (see Fig. 1). The effects of on u/ub, ρ/ρb, h/hb, J/Jb, and p/pb are similar to the results obtained by Vishwakarma et al.39 for a nonrotating nongravitating perfect gas. For the ELSP, the variables u/ub, v/vb, w/wb, m/mb, and lθ increase, but p/pb decreases with increasing in the whole flow field region [see Figs. 4(a), 4(c)–4(e), 4(g), and 4(i)]. The variables ρ/ρb and lz decrease and J/Jb and h/hb increase in the presence of an axial magnetic field [see Figs. 4(b), 4(f), 4(h), and 4(j)]. The variables ρ/ρb, h/hb, and lz decrease near the shock front and increase near the IBS, but J/Jb decreases in the presence of an azimuthal magnetic field [see Figs. 4(b), 4(f), 4(h), and 4(j)]. For the ELSP, there has yet to be any examination of the effects of a magnetic field on the flow variables or on the strength of a shock wave in the presence of a radiation heat flux using the Lie symmetry method.
Physically, this means that an increase in the strength of the magnetic field has the effect of increasing the compressibility, and hence the shock wave strength decreases and the flow field region between the shock front and the IBS increases for both the PLSP and the ELSP.
D. Effects of an increase in the value of the radiative heat transfer parameter Γp or Γe
The distance between the positions of the IBS and the shock front increases with Γp and Γe, i.e., the shock wave decays with an increase in the value of the radiation parameter for both the PLSP and ELSP (see Tables V and VI). For the PLSP, the flow variables u/ub, ρ/ρb, h/hb, J/Jb, and lz decrease with increasing Γp, whereas p/pb, v/vb, w/wb, and m/mb, lθ increase (see Fig. 2). In this case, the effects of Γp on u/ub, u/ub, ρ/ρb, m/mb, p/pb, and J/Jb are similar to the results obtained by Singh and Vishwakarma60 in both the nonrotating and nonmagnetic and the magnetic and rotating cases. For the ELSP, u/ub and J/Jb, decrease with increasing Γe, but v/vb, w/wb, m/mb and lθ increase [see Figs. 3(a), 3(c), 3(d), and 3(g)–3(i)]. The variables ρ/ρb, h/hb, and lz decrease near the shock front and increase near the IBS with increasing Γe, but Γe has the reverse effect on p/pb behind the shock front [see Figs. 3(b), 3(e), 3(f), and 3(j)].
Physically, this means that with an increase in the value of the radiation parameter Γp or Γe, the shock strength decreases, because the shocked region between the shock front and IBS expands for both the PLSP and ELSP. Owing to the reduced transfer of heat energy, the radiation flux J/Jb decreases in the whole shocked region for both the PLSP and ELSP. For the PLSP, the shock strength is strongly influenced by small values of the radiation parameter in the presence of an axial magnetic field in comparison with the case of an azimuthal magnetic field. At higher values of the radiation parameter, the shock strength is influenced by the presence of an azimuthal magnetic field (see Table V). For the ELSP, the shocked region is more compressed by an increase in the value of Γe in a self-gravitating gas than in a nongravitating gas (see Table VI).
E. Effects of an increase in the value of the adiabatic exponent γ
The distance between the positions of the IBS and shock front increases with γ for the PLSP but decreases for the ELSP, i.e., with increasing γ, the shock strength decays for the PLSP but grows for the ELSP (see Tables V and VII). With increasing γ, the flow variables ρ/ρb, u/ub, J/Jb, h/hb, and lz decrease, whereas v/vb, w/wb, m/mb, p/pb, and lθ increase in the whole flow field region for PLSP (see Fig. 2). For the ELSP, u/ub, v/vb, w/wb, m/mb, J/Jb, and lθ decrease with increasing γ, whereas p/pb increase in general behind the shock front [see Figs. 4(a), 4(c)–4(e), and 4(g)–4(i)]. In the presence of an azimuthal magnetic field, ρ/ρb and h/hb decrease, but ρ/ρb increases in the nonmagnetic case [see Figs. 4(b) and 4(f)]. With increasing γ, h/hb decreases, whereas ρ/ρb increases near the shock front and decreases near the IBS in the presence of an axial magnetic field [see Figs. 4(b) and 4(j)]. The variable lz increases with increasing γ in the absence of magnetic field or in the presence of an axial magnetic field, but in the presence of an azimuthal magnetic field, it increases near the shock front but decreases near the IBS [see Fig. 4(j)].
F. Effects of an increase in the value of the similarity index θ for the PLSP
The shock strength decreases with increasing θ (see Table V). The flow variables ρ/ρb, J/Jb, w/wb, m/mb, h/hb, and lz decrease with increasing θ, but v/vb and p/pb increase [see Figs. 2(b)–2(h) and 2(j)]. The variables u/ub and lθ decrease throughout in the presence of an axial magnetic field. With increasing θ, in the presence of an azimuthal magnetic field, u/ub increases near the shock front and decreases near the IBS, but θ has the reverse effect on lθ [see Figs. 2(a) and 2(i)].
VII. CONCLUSIONS
The propagation of a shock wave in a self-gravitating ideal gas in the presence of a magnetic field, radiation heat flux, and rotation of the medium has been studied here using the Lie symmetry method. The advantage of this method is that it provides all possible similarity solutions (optimal solutions) of the problem under consideration. We have discussed the effects on the shock wave and the flow variables between the shock front and IBS of different values of physical parameters, such as those associated with gravitation, rotation, radiation, ambient magnetic field strength, adiabatic index, and similarity exponent. Understanding the propagation of a magnetogasdynamic shock wave in self-gravitating gas with radiative heat flux is essential for the study of a variety of astrophysical phenomena. Explosions in astrophysical and geophysical environments generate shock waves in which the shock may follow a power law shock path (PLSP) or an exponential law shock path (ELSP).78,83 Gravity is the dominant force involved in interactions at small scales in the interstellar medium and governs the formation, shape, and trajectory of astronomical objects, such as in the formation of stars and planetary systems and in the creation of supernova remnants.28,29,45,81 The present study has also included an analysis of data from exploding wire experiments in a rotating electrically conducting medium, and cylindrically symmetric hypersonic flow problems associated with meteors or reentry vehicles.9,37
The following conclusions of this study are summarized from the results shown in Tables IV–VII and Figs. 1–4:
The shock strength decays in the presence of a radiation heat flux and of a magnetic field in for both a PLSP and an ELSP. Physically, energy transformation through shock waves is less in the presence of a magnetic field.
With an increase in the value of the rotational parameter, the shock strength is increased, whereas it is reduced with an increase in the value of the adiabatic index or the gravitational parameter for a PLSP. For an ELSP, the rotation and gravitational parameters and the adiabatic exponent have effects on the shock strength that are the reverse of those for a PLSP.
The effects of the rotational parameter on shock strength are the reverse of those of the adiabatic index and the gravitational parameter.
When the magnetic field is changed from axial to azimuthal, the flow field region between the shock front and the IBS increases for both PLSP and ELSP cases, i.e., the shock strength is decreased in the presence of an azimuthal magnetic field compared with an axial magnetic field.
When the value of the rotational parameter increases, the pressure decreases near the shock front and increases near the IBS in the nongravitating case, but it decreases everywhere in the flow field in the gravitating case for a PLSP. Also, with an increase in the value of the rotational parameter, the pressure decreases in general for an ELSP.
The results of the current study may be of particular interest in the following contexts.
A. Role of shock waves in star formation
The interstellar medium, which consists of dust, gas, and charged particles, makes up around 10%–15% of the galactic disk’s total mass.84 It is widely believed that new stars and planetary systems form primarily within interstellar molecular clouds. An anomalous dissipation mechanism generates shock waves in these clouds. These shock waves propagate in the clouds and trigger transportation phenomena, leading to regions of increased density, enabling gravitational self-compression (or Jeans instability).85 Observations reveal a strong correlation between the presence of molecular clouds and star formation. The main question here is to determine which factor plays a more critical role: condensation processes influenced by the strength of shock propagation or gravitational self-compression driven by the shock waves.
B. Shock wave formation in supernova explosions
Stellar explosions leads to supernovae, after which about 1015 erg of kinetic energy is dispersed in the ambient medium. The interaction of the supersonically (∼5000–10 000 km/s) moving ejecta (stellar material) with the circumstellar/interstellar medium (CSM/ISM) results in the formation of a shock wave, which creates a shell of shock-heated plasma. The interaction of the outermost ejecta with the CSM/ISM marks the beginning of the formation of a supernova remnant.86,87 During a supernova explosion, high amounts of heat radiation are emitted in the ISM, which influences the propagation of shock waves and ejected stellar material.
