Abstract

High-frequency plane sound waves in ideal gases with internal dissipation are discussed. Particular applications to dissociating diatomic gases and gases displaying vibrational relaxation are considered. A criterion in the form of an inequality is derived for the validity of the high-frequency approximation and an asymptotic analysis is developed.
