Abstract

The method of renormalization is used to determine a uniformly valid expansion for the problem of non-linear waves produced in a fluid by the general harmonic pulsations of a sphere. For a uniform expansion, only the radial distance needs to be strained. The effect of dimensionless quantities upon the shock-formation distance is examined.
