Abstract
The evolution of spherical thermal shock waves in helium II is analysed theoretically. At temperatures below 1.88K the wave evolves in a manner similar to that of pressure waves in compressible gases. Between 1.88K and the lambda -point a new kind of profile emerges. In both cases the predicted forms agree well with those observed in recent experiments.
