Abstract

The problem of the stability of shock waves with viscosity and heat conduction has been previously formulated as an eigenvalue problem involving a set of linear ordinary differential equations in a finite domain with what are shown to be regular singular points at the ends of the domain. By means of a computer-aided Frobenius type of analysis, it is shown that the (continuous) eigenvalue spectrum is such that the shock waves will be stable for all values of the shock-strength parameter. Some actual solutions of the disturbance equations are shown.
