Supersonic Flow and Shock Waves: A Manual on the Mathematical Theory of Non-Linear Wave Motion (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Supersonic Flow and Shock Waves: A Manual on the Mathematical Theory of Non-Linear Wave Motion

Chapter II develops a theory of the type of partial differential equations which occur in treatable problems of compressible flow; An important point is the emphasis on what the authors call simple waves, representing motion in domains adjacent to domains of constant state.
