Self-similar flows arise as special solution of the mean curvature flow that preserves the shape of the evolving submanifold. In addition, \lambda -hypersurfaces are the generalization of self-similar hypersurfaces. In the present article we consider \lambda -hypersurfaces in Euclidean spaces which are the generalization of self-shrinkers. We obtained some results related with rotational hypersurfaces in Euclidean 4-space \mathbb{R}^{4} to become self-shrinkers. Furthermore, we classify the general rotational \lambda -hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature. As an application, we give some examples of self-shrinkers and rotational \lambda -hypersurfaces in \mathbb{R}^{4}.

An investigation is made of the self-similar flow behind a cylindrical blast wave from a line explosion (situated on r = 0, using conventional cylindrical coordinates r, 4>, z) in a medium whose density and magnetic field both vary as r -w ahead of the blast front, with the assumption that the flow is isothermal. The magnetic field can have components in both the azimuthal B(jJ and longitudinal B, directions. It is found that: (i) For B(jJ =f:. 0 =f:. B, a continuous single-valued solution with a velocity field representing outflow of material away from the line of explosion does not exist for OJ OJ > 0 the governing equation possesses a set of movable critical points. In this case it is shown that the fluid flow velocity is bracketed between two curves and that the asymptotes of the velocity curve on the shock are intersected by, or are tangent to, the two curves. Thus a solution always exists in the physical domain r ~ o. The overall conclusion from the investigation is that the behaviour of isothermal blast waves in the presence of an ambient magnetic field differs substantially from the behaviour calculated for no magnetic field. These results have an impact upon previous applications of the theory of self-similar flows to evolving supernova remnants without allowance for the dynamical influence of magnetic pressure and magnetic tension.

A simple derivation is given of the parabolic flow first described by John (1953) in semi-Lagrangian form. It is shown that the scale of the flow decreases liket−3, and the free surface contracts about a point which lies one-third of the way from the vertex of the parabola to the focus.The flow is an exact limiting form of either a Dirichlet ellipse or hyperbola, as the timettends to infinity.Two other self-similar flows, in three dimensions, are derived. In one, the free surface is a paraboloid of revolution, which contracts liket−2about a point lying one-quarter the distance from the vertex to the focus. In the other, the flow is non-axisymmetric, and the free surface contracts liket−5.The parabolic flow is shown to be one of a general class of self-similar flows in the plane, described by rational functions of degreen. The parabola corresponds ton= 2. Whenn= 3 there are two new flows. In one of these the scale varies ast12/7and the free surface has the appearance of a trough filling up. In the other, the free surface resembles flow round the end of a rigid wall; the scale varies ast−4·17.
