Abstract
The uniform density region that develops behind a rarefaction shock in planar geometry (and attaches downstream to the outer expansion flow) is shown to be modified by geometric divergence into a region of self-similar flow with nonvanishing gradients. A single set of equations is derived that describes both shock and similarity flow. The longest gradient scale length in the transition region is shown to vary linearly with the radius at the shock.
