Integrable version of Burgers equation in magnetohydrodynamics

It is pointed out that for the case of (compressible) magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) with the fields v(y)(y,t) and Bx(y,t), one can have equations of the Burgers type which are integrable. We discuss the solutions. It turns out that the propagation of the nonlinear effects is governed by the initial velocity (as in Burgers case) as well as by the initial Alfvén velocity. Many results previously obtained for the Burgers equation can be transferred to the MHD case. We also discuss equipartition v(y)=+/-Bx. It is shown that an initial localized small scale magnetic field will end up in fields moving to the left and the right, thus transporting energy from smaller to larger distances.
