Abstract
As shown by Rayleigh, a considerable number of acoustic phenomena are known which involve the viscosity of the medium and require the solution of the hydrodynamic equations to a higher degree of approximation than is customary in elementary treatments of the theory of sound. Among these are the fluid streams that occur near intense sources of sound (e.g.: the "quartz wind").Keywords
