Pulses and Other Wave Processes in Fluids : Springer : 9780792339281 : 0792339282 : 29 Feb 1996 : The subject of wave phenomena is well-known for its inter-disciplinary nature. Progress in this field has been made both through the desire to solve very practical problems, arising in acoustics, optics, radiophysics, electronics, oceanography, me­ teorology and so on, and through the development of mathematical physics which emphasized that completely different physical phenomena are governed by the same (or similar) equations. In the immense literature on physics of waves there is no lack of good presentations of particular branches or general textbooks on mathematical physics. But if one restricts the attention to pulse propagation phenomena, one no­ tices that many useful facts are scattered among the various books and journals, and their connections are not immediately apparent. For example, the problems involv­ ing acoustic pulse propagation in bubbly liquids and those related to ele
