Abstract
The analysis of Stuart for an expanding spherical gas cloud in a rarefied atmosphere is extended to the case of cylindrical flow. The equations of motion are expressed in similarity form from which early and late time solutions are obtained. The spherical and cylindrical flows are numerically compared for the case of negligible frictional heating by the atmosphere.Keywords
