Abstract
Asymptotic and numerical analyses are presented for the travelling wave solution of the one-dimensional acoustic wave associated with the sonic boom, subject to thermoviscous dissipation and two molecular relaxation processes. Examination of how these relaxation processes affect the propagation of a weak shock is discussed in detail.
