Self-similar Collapse

Self-Similar Collapse is a theoretical model in astrophysics that describes the process of gravitational collapse in which the spatial and temporal evolution of the collapsing system exhibits invariance under scaling transformations, such that the density and velocity profiles maintain a proportional form throughout the collapse.
