Unsteady Wave Motion topics include: Normal shock waves, reflected shock wave, finite waves, acoustics theory elements, incident and reflected expansion waves, shock tube relations and finite compression waves. Unsteady wave motion is a type of unsteady flow, which means the flow parameters are not independent of time. Unsteady flow problems can vary widely in nature, such as from ocean waves to a flood wave.  Unsteady wave motion can also refer to: Unsteady expansion waves: These are similar to moving shock waves, but instead of the piston moving into the gas, it moves away from...
