Abstract

The propagation of variable energy blast wave through self-gravitating gas spheres has been studied. Similarity method has been used to obtain the solution in the form of a power series in non-dimensional shock radius. The analysis shows that the effects of self-gravitating force are of third order Therefore, the pressure, density and velocity distributions are calculated upto third approximation and shown graphically.
