SOME REMARKS ON THE PROBLEM OF EXPLOSIONS IN AN IONOSPHERE WITH FINITE ELECTRIC CONDUCTIVITY IN THE PRESENCE OF A UNIFORM MAGNETIC FIELD.
Abstract
The problem of a nuclear explosion in the ionosphere has theoretical and practical relevancy. It is mathematically highly complex and is of importance in connection with the problem of detecting nuclear explosions in space by recording perturbations of the magnetic field of the Earth. Using a MHD characteristics method developed for plasmas with finite electric conductivity the system of the MHD basic equations has been integrated numerically. Furthermore the same system has been reduced to ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations. This formalism gives exact solutions of the MHD basic equations.
