Abstract

The self-similar 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 quiet solar wind region, is investigated. The total energy content between the inner expanding surface and the shock front increases with time. In the last section we briefly pose the self-similar isothermal flow of a gas behind a spherical shock wave.
