Abstract

The propagation of simple nonlinear waves in tubes is investigated. It is seen that both continuous and discontinuous asymptotic waves exist for which the nonlinear distortion and the viscous effect owing to the boundary layer just balance. Both types of solutions can be collapsed into one normalized asymptotic solution. A numerical method is given to compute time-dependent solutions. The evolution of continuous and discontinuous waves is illustrated with two examples.
