This study is from series of studies actively carried out and pursued to design a high capacity deployable fusion device. This is thoroughly re written with enhanced illustrations, diagrams and schematics to explain shock wave, blast wave and their type's focusing in air and gases in two and three dimensions. This also serves as ready first hand updated bibliographic reference for practicing engineers..
Importance is given to focusing of spherical shock and blast waves, oblique shock waves, interaction with matter, energy (heat) generation, its quantization and utilisation for ignition.
