A note on shock dynamics relative to a moving frame

doi:10.1017/S002211206800025X

Abstract

In this paper it is shown how a previous theory for treating shocks moving into fluid at rest (Whitham 1957, 1959) can be changed to a form suitable for treating propagation into a steady uniform flow. It is necessary only to transform the original theory to a moving frame but the details are not trivial.
