Shock formation in stellar perturbations and tidal shock waves in binaries
Carsten Gundlach, Jeremiah Murphy
We investigate whether tidal forcing can result in sound waves steepening into shocks at the surface of a star. To model the sound waves and shocks, we consider adiabatic non-spher…

Universality in the run-up of shock waves to the surface of a star
Carsten Gundlach, Randall J Leveque
We investigate the run-up of a shock wave from inside to the surface of a perfect fluid star in equilibrium and bounded by vacuum. Near the surface we approximate the fluid motion…

Generic behaviour of nonlinear sound waves near the surface of a star: smooth solutions
Carsten Gundlach, Colin Please
We are interested in the generic behaviour of nonlinear sound waves as they approach the surface of a star, here assumed to have the polytropic equation of state . Restrict…
