THEORETICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE INFLUENCE OF VISCOUS FRICTION ON A PLANE WAVE OF FINITE MPLITUDE IN A COMPRESSIBLE FLUID

J. A. OWCZAREK

( (Queen Mary College London) )

This paper deals with the theory of the subsonic motion of plane waves of finite amplitude in gases with viscous effects, without reflections and interactions. The method of characteristics as applied to the problem furnishes equations suitable for step-by-step solutions. An extension of this method allows deduction of analytical expressions for the change of parameters of state of a wave, due to friction; these expressions can be integrated numerically. An approximate method of solution of these equations is indicated.
