A comparative study between two models of propagation of spherical and cylindrical shock waves with varying energy in self-gravitating, magneto-radiative non-uniform atmosphere

Two theoretical models, spherical and cylindrical, of propagation of shock waves with varying energy in a rotating, magneto-radiative, self-gravitating non-uniform atmosphere have been developed. Subsequently, a comparison between the two models has been drawn with the aid of variation of flow variables with distance graphically. Significant is the difference between two models, when one observes the variations of radial velocity, pressure, mass, radiation flux, magnetic field and energy with distance. Also, the respective influences of radiation flux, magnetic field and rotational velocity on the variations of the flow variables have been studied.
