Abstract
A non-similarity solution for propagation of magnetogasdynamic blast waves in Roche model is obtained. The density outside the central core varies according to some inverse power of distance from the centre of explosion. The strength of the shock surface heading the disturbance as well as the total energy of the wave vary with time.
