Now in its second edition, this book continues to give readers a broad mathematical basis for modelling and understanding the wide range of wave phenomena encountered in modern applications. New and expanded material includes topics such as elastoplastic waves and waves in plasmas, as well as new exercises. Comprehensive collections of models are used to illustrate the underpinning mathematical methodologies, which include the basic ideas of the relevant partial differential equations, characteristics, ray theory, asymptotic analysis, dispersion, shock waves, and weak solutions. Although the main focus is on compressible fluid flow, the authors show how intimately gasdynamic waves are related to wave phenomena in many other areas of physical science.
Special emphasis is placed on the development of physical intuition to supplement and reinforce analytical thinking. Each chapter includes
a complete set of carefully prepared exercises, making this a suitable textbook for students in applied mathematics, engineering, and other physical sciences.
Introduction.- The Equations of Inviscid Compressible Flow.- Models for Linear Wave Propagation.- Theories for Linear Waves.- Nonlinear Waves in Fluids.- Shock Waves.- Epilogue.
