Abstract Self-similar solutions of the second kind for the unsteady one-dimensional flow behind converging spherical and cylindrical strong shocks in a non-ideal medium are studied. The equation of state of the medium is assumed to be in the form of the Mie-Gruneisen type. A simple numerical technique is developed to find the similarity exponent. Detailed studies are carried out for a different non-ideal medium such as a dusty gas, condensed matter and c,s medium. The solutions for an ideal gas are recovered as a particular case. A comparative study of the numerical and some approximate solutions is also made.
