A second-order PDE is derived from Euler's equaitons under certain assumptions. It is shown that this PDE admits shock and rarefaction waves, and that a single point gradient blow-up admits a unique similarity extension after blow-up that…

The formation of a singularity in a compressible gas, as described by the Euler equation, is characterized by the steepening, and eventual overturning of a wave. Using a self-similar description in two space dimensions, we show that the…

A detailed experimental and theoretical study has been performed about a phenomenon, not previously reported in the literature, occurring in highly viscous liquids: the formation of a definite pipe structure induced by the passage of a…
The physical quantities in a gas should vary continuously across a shock. However, the physics inherent in the compressible Euler equations is insufficient to describe the width or structure of the shock. We demonstrate the existence of…
