Quasilinear Hyperbolic Systems, Compressible Flows, and Waves (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Filled with practical examples, this book presents a self-contained discussion of quasilinear hyperbolic equations and systems with applications. It emphasizes nonlinear theory and introduces some of the most active research in the field. The author elucidates all necessary mathematical concepts in the first three chapters, including an introduction to general wave propagation problems. He highlights the application of various approaches, such as singular surface theory, asymptotic methods, and self-similarity, to solve practical physical problems from areas, including gasdynamics, radiation gasdynamics, magnetogasdynamics, nonequilibrium flows, and shallow water theory.
