Energy normalization of a continuously driven spherical shock

ID: energy-normalization-of-a-continuously-driven-spherical-shock

If the similarity profiles account for all kinetic and internal energy inside an adiabatic strong shock, let
The injected energy equals . Consequently conservation of energy fixes
An interior region not included in the profiles must have its energy added separately; a radiatively cooled shell changes this energy budget.
