Abstract: | We examine the uniformly imploding pellets or shells, which are driven to implode by the action of compressional forces. Besides providing the precise time of implosion we discuss continuation of the solution beyond the time of implosion using WTC expansions. Our quantitative analysis confirms the observations of D. L. Book and I. B. Bernstein (1980).Received: February 27, 2002; revised: October 17, 2002 |
