  the general solution of the strong blast wave is found in the
newtonian approximation--i.e., neglecting terms of order
the expressions obtained for the pressure, temperature, density,
and velocity profiles are simple .  the results are applied to
power-law bodies in hypersonic flow using the equivalence
principle .
  higher-order approximations for strong blast waves are investigated
for the cases in which the shock layer is thin .  a
simple pressure formula is found, which constitutes an improvement
upon the newton-busemann formula, and some of its applications
are shown .
