The effects of external magnetic fields on the shock-wave configuration at hypersonic plasma flow field are investigated in this paper. A series of numerical simulations over various geometry configurations, namely, a blunt body and a fixed-geometry inlet forebody, have been conducted by varying the applied magnetic field under different freestream conditions. Results show that magnetohydrodynamic shock control capabilities under three types of magnetic field are ranked from weak to strong as dipole magnet, solenoid magnet, and uniform magnet field. Under the same applied magnetic field, it is easier to deflect the shock at a relatively high altitude condition, compared with the low altitude case. The bow shock standoff distance is dependent on the distribution of counter-flow Lorentz force right after shock in the stagnation region. For the oblique shock control, the function of two components of Lorentz force is different that the counter-flow one decelerates the flow and increases the shock-wave angle, while the normal one squeezes the oblique shock and deflects the streamlines.

The propagation of cylindrical shock wave under the influence of axial magnetic field in rotating medium under isothermal flow condition is investigated. The density, magnetic field and azimuthal and axial components of fluid velocity are assumed to be varying in the undisturbed medium. The arbitrary constants appearing in the expressions for infinitesimals of the Local Lie group of transformations bring about three different cases of solutions, i.e. with power law shock path, exponential law shock path and a particular case of power law shock path. Numerical solutions are obtained in the cases of power law and exponential law shock paths. Distribution of gasdynamical quantities are discussed through figures. The effects of variation in values of Alfven-Mach number [Formula: see text], ambient azimuthal velocity index [Formula: see text] and ambient density index [Formula: see text] are studied on flow variables and on shock strength. The numerical integration is done using software Mathematica. It is obtained that magnetic field has a decaying effect on shock strength. Also, increase in value of ambient density or ambient azimuthal velocity variation index in the case of power law shock path and increase in value of ambient density variation index in case of exponential law shock path have the decaying effect on shock strength.
