Summary
Similarity solutions of the propagation of cylindrical blast waves through a self-gravitating polytropic gas caused by an instantaneous release of finite energy are investigated theoretically including the influence of transverse magnetic field. A comparative study of the distributions of velocity, density, mass, pressure, temperature and magnetic field has been illustrated through figures.
