| Abstract: | The flow formed in the neighborhood of the discontinuity intersection point when shock waves collide at a nonzero angle is studied. The investigation can be directly applied to problems of shock wave interaction in the interplanetary plasma [9–12]. In magnetohydrodynamics the nature of the flow and its investigation are much more complex than in gas dynamics because of the greater number of possible waves and governing parameters.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 3, pp. 132–143, May–June, 1991. |
