Self-similar solution is obtained for propagation of a strong shock, in a flat expanding dusty Friedman universe. Approximate analytic solution was obtained earlier, using relation between self-similar variables, equivalent to the exact…
Astrophysical explosions are accompanied by the propagation of a shock wave through an ambient medium. Depending on the mass and energy involved in the explosion, the shock velocity $V$ can be non-relativistic ($V \ll c$, where $c$ is the…
We develop a generalisation to the classical Sedov Taylor explosion where the medium free falls to a point mass at the centre of the explosion. To verify our analytic results, we compare them to a suite of numerical simulations. We find…
Propagation of a blast wave due to strong explosion in the center of a power-law-density ($\rho \propto r^{-\alpha}$) spherically symmetric atmosphere is studied. For adiabatic index of 5/3, the solution was known to be self-similar, (of…
We derive a self similar solution for the propagation of an extreme relativistic (or Newtonian) radiative spherical blast wave into a surrounding cold medium. The solution is obtained under the assumption that the radiation process is fast,…
Self-similar solutions to converging (implosions) and diverging (explosions) shocks have been studied before, in planar, cylindrical or spherical symmetry. Here we offer a unified treatment of these apparently disconnected problems . We…
Self-similar solutions to the problem of a strong imploding relativistic shock wave are calculated. These solutions represent the relativistic generalisation of the Newtonian Gouderley-Landau-Stanyukovich problem of a strong imploding…
The self-similar expansion of a blast wave, well-studied in air, has peculiar counterparts in dense and dissipative media such as granular gases. Recent results have shown that, while the traditional Taylor-von Neumann-Sedov (TvNS)…
A new type of self-similarity is found in the problem of a plane-parallel, ultra-relativistic blast wave, propagating in a powerlaw density profile of the form $\rho \propto z^{-k}$. Self-similar solutions of the first kind can be found for…
We present solutions for the self-similar propagation of a shock wave in a hydrostatic, adiabatic medium with a point mass gravitational field. In contrast to the well-known, Sedov-Taylor blastwave, these solutions apply to the case when…
We present new solutions to the strong explosion problem in a non power law density profi{}le. The unperturbed self similar solutions developed by Sedov, Taylor and Von Neumann describe strong Newtonian shocks propagating into a cold gas…
A solution to the ultra-relativistic strong explosion problem with a non-power law density gradient is delineated. We consider a blast wave expanding into a density profile falling off as a steep radial power-law with small, spherically…
Most supernovae are expected to explode in low-density hot media, particularly in galactic bulges and elliptical galaxies. The remnants of such supernovae, though difficult to detect individually, can be profoundly important in heating the…
The blast caused by an intense explosion has been extensively studied in conservative fluids, where the Taylor-von Neumann-Sedov hydrodynamic solution is a prototypical example of self-similarity driven by conservation laws. In dissipative…
We present the generalization of the Sedov-Taylor self-similar strong spherical shock solution for the case of a central energy source varying in time, $E=A t^k$, where $A$ and $k$ are constants. The known Sedov-Taylor solution corresponds…
Self similarity allows for analytic or semi-analytic solutions to many hydrodynamics problems. Most of these solutions are one dimensional. Using linear perturbation theory, expanded around such a one-dimensional solution, we find…
The Sutherland approximation to the van der Waals forces is applied to the derivation of a self-consistent Vlasov-type field in a liquid filling a half space, bordering vacuum. The ensuing Vlasov equation is then derived, and solved to…
We consider the solutions of the Guderley problem, consisting of an imploding strong shock wave in an ideal gas with a power law initial density profile. The self-similar solutions, and specifically the similarity exponent which determines…
Coughlin et al. (2018) (Paper I) derived and analyzed a new regime of self-similarity that describes weak shocks (Mach number of order unity) in the gravitational field of a point mass. These solutions are relevant to low energy explosions,…
We propose a self-similar (SS) solution to hydrodynamic non-relativistic flow behind a spherical strong blast wave (BW) passing through a homogeneous plasma with efficient relativistic particle acceleration at the shock front. The flow is…
