Abstract

A model of self-similar propagation of shock waves driven by a flare energy release in a non-uniform atmosphere has been considered. The total energy content of the model is assumed to be increased with time within the inner expanding surface and shock front. Finally the variation of velocity, pressure, density, and energy of the model have been discussed. The gas is assumed to be grey and opaque.
