D. Andriamanalina et A. Merlen, INTENSE ANISOTROPIC EXPLOSION IN A STRATI FIED GAS, Comptes rendus de l'Academie des sciences. Serie II. Mecanique, physique, chimie, astronomie, 324(5), 1997, pp. 307-313
The problem of intense anisotropic explosions is generalized to the ca
se of stratified gas initially at rest. The explosion is not necessari
ly instantaneous. To preserve the self-similarity, the stratification
is considered as a power law of the distance to the explosion center I
t is shown that the main properties holding for an initially homogeneo
us gas still hold here.
