Waves and Compressible Flow by Hilary Ockendon

Introduction.- The Equations of Inviscid Compressible Flow.- Models for Linear Wave Propagation.- Theories for Linear Waves.- Nonlinear Waves in Fluids.- Shock Waves.- Epilogue.

“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)
