Equations for acoustic and internal gravity waves in an inhomogeneous moving medium
Abstract
In this chapter, the equations for acoustic (sound) and internal gravity waves in three-dimensional inhomogeneous moving media are systematically derived and analyzed. The ranges of applicability of these equations are investigated in detail, and they are compared with results presented previously in the literature. The equations in this chapter are used in subsequent chapters for analytical and numerical studies of sound propagation in moving media.
