Summary The transonic flow near the throat of a converging-diverging nozzle of a gas with infinite electrical conductivity is considered. The magnetic fieldB is everywhere aligned with the velocityq so that the equations describing the flow are reducible to those of ordinary gasdynamics. Thus, it is possible to utilize the transonic similarity solution of Tomotika and Tamada [3] to study aligned field magnetohydrodynamic flow near a nozzle throat. Only transonic flows are considered, and the structures of sub- and supersonic flows with speeds greater and less than the Alfvén speed are investigated.
