Nonlinear Waves in Real Fluids - CISM International Centre for Mechanical Sciences A Kluwick 1991 edition

Publisher Marketing: The study of materials which exhibit new and unconventional properties is of central importance for the development of advanced and refined technologies in many fields of engineering science. In this connection, there has been a rapidly growing interest in real fluid effects on wave phenomena in the past few years. A prominent example is provided by Bethe-Zel'dovich-Thompson (BZT) fluids, which have the distinguishing feature that they exhibit negative nonlinearity over a finite range of temperature and pressures in the pure vapour phase. However, two phase flows with and without phase change are an even richer source of new phenomena.
