Abstract

Converging shock waves have been extensively investigated during the past several decades. Continuing interest in this research is motivated by the ability to obtain extreme conditions in gas in the focal region. In a pioneering work, Guderley [1], (1942) published a self-similar solution of the amplification of strong converging spherical and cylindrical shock waves close to the center of convergence. Another solution to the problem was presented by Stanyukovich [2], and since then a large number of analytical and numerical studies have been conducted, see e.g. Refs. [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8].
