Spherical Waves and Shocks. Part I: A General Theory of the Propagation of Weak Shocks. Part II: The Kirkwood-Bethe Theory for the Propagation of Shoc (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781019461037)

In this volume, Gerald B. Whitham presents a detailed study of spherical waves and shocks in fluid mechanics. Part I covers the general theory of the propagation of weak shocks, while Part II explores the Kirkwood-Bethe theory for the propagation of shocks in water. The book is intended for advanced students and researchers in fluid mechanics.
