Overview

This book presents theoretical nonlinear acoustics in fluids with equal stress on physical foundations and mathematical methods. From first principles in fluid mechanics and thermodynamics a universal mathematical model (Kuznetsov's equation) of nonlinear acoustics is developed. This model is applied to problems such as nonlinear generation of higher harmonics and combination frequencies, the shockwave from a supersonic projectile, propagation of shocks in acoustic beams and nonlinear standing waves in resonators.

Reviews

From the reviews: The authors present an elegant study on theoretical nonlinear acoustics ! . The nonlinear acoustic phenomena described in the book are chosen to give physically interesting illustrations of mathematical theory. ! Special for this book is its coherent account of nonlinear acoustic theory from a unified point of view and detailed presentations of mathematical techniques ! . It is useful for practitioners and researchers in acoustics ! . It can also be used as a textbook for graduate or advanced undergraduate students ! .
