Abstract
Similarity solutions describing the flow of a perfect gas behind cylindrical shock waves with radiation heat flux are investigated. The total energy of the expanding wave has been supposed to remain constant. The solution, however, is only applicable to a gaseous medium where the undisturbed pressure falls as the inverse square of the distance from the line of explosion.
