Abstract

A class of exact solutions of the ideal electrohydrodynamics equations is presented. These solutions describe the propagation of a plane shock wave along a static background with decreasing density in the presence of gravity and longitudinal electric fields. This class of solutions contains an arbitrary function of the Lagrangian variable which makes it possible to consider many physically different cases.
