Description for Waves and Compressible Flow
Hardback. Series: TEXTS IN APPLIED MATHEMATICS. .
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 ... Read more

Reviews for Waves and Compressible Flow
The book aims to present a consistent theory of waves originating in hydrodynamics of incompressible and compressible fluids ... . The book includes many exercises. Solving specially marked key exercises is assumed to be an essential part of the reading. (Boris A. Malomed, zbMATH 1339.76001, 2016)
