Propagation of Plane Compressional Waves of Finite Amplitude in Real Fluids (A Theoretical Approach by the Method of Implicit Functions)

摘要

The primary objective of this dissertation is to formulate a theory describing the distortion of a plane, initially sinusoidal, compression wave (or sound wave) of finite amplitude traveling through a real (nonlinear and dissipative) fluid medium which is initially undisturbed.
