Description
The thermal wave produced in a uniform plasma, when energy is absorbed on a spherical surface such that convection is negligible, is analyzed using an integral method, which is very accurate. The curvature speeds up (slightly slows down) the inner (outer) wave front and does not affect the temperature maximum
