Abstract

We give here a first example of the usefulness of a method which we developed elsewhere, showing how it can give infinitesimal shock wave equations from a differential system when distribution methods fail to do so. The fluid chosen is the one indicated in the title, and the method proves to be particularly useful and easy to apply when one comes to the determination of the propagation equations.
