Download or read book Hyperbolic and Viscous Conservation Laws written by Tai-Ping Liu and published by SIAM. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is an in-depth, up-to-date analysis of wave interactions for general systems of hyperbolic and viscous conservation laws. This self-contained study of shock waves explains the new wave phenomena from both a physical and a mathematical standpoint. The analysis is useful for the study of various physical situations, including nonlinear elasticity, magnetohydrodynamics, multiphase flows, combustion, and classical gas dynamics shocks. The central issue throughout the book is the understanding of nonlinear wave interactions.
