Abstract

The self-similar isothermal flow of a gas, moving under the gravitational attraction of a central body of fixed mass behind a spherical shock wave driven out by a propelling contact surface into a non-uniform stationary atmosphere is investigated. The total energy of the wave increases with time obeying a power law.
