Abstract

A closed tube containing a BZT-fluid is driven by an applied velocity near and at resonant frequencies. A small-rate theory is shown to predict the existence of stable periodic expansion and compression shocks in a resonant frequency band. The significant effects of wave interaction and thermoviscous damping are demonstrated.
