Sonic thunder : a discussion of natural and artificial shock waves /

The study of shock wave formation and dynamics begins with a study of waves themselves. Simple harmonic motion is used to analyze the physical mechanisms of wave generation and propagation, and the principle of superposition is used to mathematically generate constructive and destructive interferenc...

520 3 |a The study of shock wave formation and dynamics begins with a study of waves themselves. Simple harmonic motion is used to analyze the physical mechanisms of wave generation and propagation, and the principle of superposition is used to mathematically generate constructive and destructive interference. Further development leads to the shock singularity where a single wave of immense magnitude propagates and decays through various media. Correlations with the fields of thermodynamics, meteorology, crater formation, and acoustics are made, as well as a few special applications.

545 |a Dr. W.R. Matson received his doctoral degree in Condensed Matter from Oklahoma State University in 2004. Since that time he has been an Assistant Professor at Universities in Michigan, Chicago, Minnesota, and South Dakota. His current research interest is complex flow dynamics in the vicinity of rigid boundaries and obstructive objects. He is also the author of Earthquakes: The sound of multi-modal waves.
