Study is concerned with use of imploding shock waves to produce high temperatures for controlled thermonuclear research and plasma propulsion for space vehicles; self-propagating nature of imploding shock waves is investigated by extending classical similarity solution to earlier times in implosion process when shock strength is finite; quasi-similar method developed by Oshima in blast wave studies is applied; results show that singular characteristic exists for finite-strength shock waves.
