Abstract
The study of spherically symmetric motion is important for the theory of explosion waves. In this paper, we construct rigorously self-similar solutions to the Riemann problem of the spherically symmetric Euler equations for general equations of state. We use the assumption of self-similarity to reduce the spherically symmetric Euler equations to a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations, from which we obtain detailed structures of solutions besides their existence.
