Poroacoustic Traveling Waves under the Rubin–Rosenau–Gottlieb Theory of Generalized Continua

We investigate linear and nonlinear poroacoustic waveforms under the Rubin−Rosenau− Gottlieb (RRG) theory of generalized continua. Working in the context of the Cauchy problem, on both the real line and the case with periodic boundary conditions, exact and asymptotic expressions...

Description
Summary:We investigate linear and nonlinear poroacoustic waveforms under the Rubin−Rosenau− Gottlieb (RRG) theory of generalized continua. Working in the context of the Cauchy problem, on both the real line and the case with periodic boundary conditions, exact and asymptotic expressions are obtained. Numerical simulations are also presented, von Neumann−Richtmyer “artificial” viscosity is used to derive an exact kink-type solution to the poroacoustic piston problem, and possible experimental tests of our findings are noted. The presentation concludes with a discussion of possible follow-on investigations.
