Scientific paper

Consideration is given to self-similar flows of a perfect gas behind a cylindrical shock wave propagating exponentially in an atmosphere with a density that varies inversely as the fourth power of shock radius. The equations of motion for adiabatic and isothermal flow are presented, based on a generalized Roche model. It is found that velocity, density, pressure, and magnetic field are maximum at the shock front and decrease rapidly towards the center of explosion when the shock wave is isothermal. In the adiabatic case, these variables are minimum at the shock front and increase steadily as they move radially toward the center of explosion.
