The particle distribution function is calculated for the Coulomb explosion of a spherically symmetric charged cluster formed through the interaction of intense ultrashort laser pulses with a cluster gas. The particle density and mean velocity distributions as well as the energy spectra of the accelerated particles are obtained. These characteristics are analyzed in detail for a cold cluster plasma, where the kinetic effects determine the physics of multiple flows emerging after the turnover of the cluster particle velocity profile. We find the boundaries of the multiple-flow regions and study the characteristics of an exploding cluster as a function of its initial density profile. The energy spectra of the accelerated ions are obtained for a cluster plasma with a specified cluster size distribution.
