Weakly Nonlinear Harmonic Acoustic Waves in Classical Thermoviscous Fluids: A Perturbation Analysis
Abstract
Using regular perturbation analysis, we investigate the propagation of a time-harmonic acoustic signal, generated by a sinusoidal boundary condition, in a half-space filled with a classical thermoviscous fluid. It is assumed that the flow is described by a recently introduced, weakly nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) that, unlike earlier models, exhibits a Hamiltonian structure in the lossless limit.
