Abstract
Non-similarity solutions of the equations governing the motion of a perfect gas behind a cylindrical shock wave of variable strength have been obtained. These solutions are applicable to both the weak and the strong shocks. The nature of flow and field variables are illustrated through graphs. The total energy of the wave is taken to be constant.
