Sommario

Vengono trattate alcune questioni riguardanti la stabilità lineare e per riflessione di un'onda d'urto piana in gas dinamica classica e relativistica. Sono discusse le proprietà di stabilità di un gas di van der Waals.

Summary

Some questions arising in linear stability and reflection stability of a plane shock are discussed, both in classical and relativistic fluid dynamics. The stability properties of a van der Waals gas are discussed.
