Abstract

We consider the propagation of acoustic and thermal waves in a class of inviscid, thermally relaxing gases wherein the flow of heat is described by the Maxwell--Cattaneo law, i.e., in Cattaneo--Christov gases. After first considering the start-up piston problem under the linear theory, we then investigate traveling wave phenomena under the weakly-nonlinear approximation. In particular, a shock analysis is carried out, comparisons with predictions from classical gases dynamics theory are performed, and critical values of the parameters are derived. Special case results are also presented and connections to other fields are noted.
