Abstract: Abstract In this paper, we obtain exact solutions to the nonlinear system of partial differential equations (PDEs), describing the one dimensional unsteady simple flow of an isentropic, inviscid and perfectly conducting compressible fluid, subjected to a transverse magnetic field. Lie group of point transformations are used for constructing similarity variables which lead the governing system of PDEs to system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs); in some cases, it is possible to solve these equations exactly. A particular solution to the governing system, which exhibits space-time dependence, is used to study the evolutionary behavior of weak discontinuities.
