Scientific paper

Isenberg as well as Lerche and Vasyliunas proposed the existence of an instability to radial perturbations in adiabatic and isothermal models of self-similar supernova blast waves. Their derivations fail to impose the physical conservation laws at the shock (i.e., the Rankine-Hugoniot jump conditions) as boundary conditions, and their claim of an instability is unsubstantiated. Although an analytic demonstration of the stability of the adiabatic self-similar solution does not presently exist, the cumulative result of three decades of gas dynamic experimentation and numerical simulation provides unmistakable evidence for the stability of self-similar blast waves.
