Fluid mechanics

the self-similar solution for a strong spherical shock from a sudden point release of energy, whose radius grows as time to the two-fifths power.

In fluid mechanics, Taylor-Sedov blast wave refers to the self-similar solution for a strong spherical shock from a sudden point release of energy, whose radius grows as time to the two-fifths power. This meaning comes from Taylor (1950) in Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A. Mathematical and Physical Sciences.[1]
