Abstract
Analytical solutions to the magnetohydrodynamic shock refraction problem are used to explore the limiting interface angles for which regular refraction will occur, for a particular choice of problem parameters and varying magnetic field strength. Beyond this limit, irregular shock refraction occurs and no analytical solutions exist at present. Thus, the wave structure resulting from irregular magnetohydrodynamic shock refraction is determined via ideal simulations, allowing its properties to be explored.
