Abstract
In this paper we formulate the linear theory for compressible fluids in cylindrical geometry with small perturbation at the material interface. We derive the first order equations in the smooth regions, boundary conditions at the shock fronts and the contact interface by linearizing the Euler equations and Rankine-Hugoniot conditions. The small amplitude solution formulated in this paper will be important for calibration of results from full numerical simulation of compressible fluids in cylindrical geometry.
