Abstract
Non-similarity solutions for the propagation of strong plane shock waves in optically-thin grey atmosphere are investigated. The density increases exponentially under low pressure. The shock moves with variable velocity and the total energy of the wave is not constant. Planck's diffusion approximation has been taken into account in the present problem.
