Abstract

The propagation of acceleration-temperature waves in a rigid heat conductor is investigated. The theory employed allows temperature to travel with a finite wavespeed, and the full nonlinear theory is analysed. It is shown that various types of behaviour are possible for the amplitude of the wave, including one for which the amplitude becomes infinite in a finite time. Higher order temperature waves are also briefly discussed.
