PHYSICAL FRAMEWORK

Introduction

Ray methods constitute a fundamental tool for studying wave propagation. The extension of these method in order to treat nonlinear waves is the subject of this book.
In this chapter we set up the basic physical frameworks in which nonlinear wave propagation will take place. The methods expounded in this book will be applied to nonlinear wave propagation in various physical contexts.
The main areas of applications will be fluid dynamics (both ideal and dissipative), magnetofluid dynamics and plasma physics. In this chapter we will recall the basic fundamentals of fluid dynamics (including dissipation), ideal magnetofluid dynamics, ...
