Abstract

The stability of small perturbations against a constant background is studied for a system of quasi-gasdynamic equations in an arbitrary number of space variables. It is established that, for a fixed adiabatic exponent γ, the stability is determined only by the background Mach number, and a necessary and sufficient condition for stability at any Mach number is \(\gamma \leqslant \bar \gamma \), where \(\bar \gamma \approx 6.2479\). The proof is based on a direct analysis of the corresponding complex characteristic numbers depending on several parameters. The multidimensional case is successfully reduced to the one-dimensional one. Then, the generalized Routh-Hurwitz criterion is applied in conjunction with analytical calculations based on Mathematica.
