review text: The history of the flow behind a laser-driven shock is investigated in the context of variable energy blast waves. Thereby the total laser energy absorbed by the blast is assumed to vary proportionally to some power of time. Due to the high temperatures and pressures occurring in the initial phase of the flow, a real gas model has been employed. It accounts for vibration, dissociation, electronic excitation, ionization and intermolecular forces. Radiative and conductive heat transfer are considered as well. The numerical computations were carried out using the method of characteristics.
