Smooth and Stable Euler Implosions

Description

I will describe a new class of self-similar implosion profiles for the multi-dimensional compressible Euler equations. These profiles are smooth, genuinely non-isentropic, radially/spherically symmetric, and have explicit closed-form similarity exponents.  These implosions are stable to both radial and non-radial perturbations.
