Abstract
BZT-fluids have the distinguishing property that the fundamental derivative F changes sign in the general neighbourhood of the critical point. As a consequence, weakly-nonlinear progressive waves in such fluids may exhibit significantly different properties as compared to waves in regular fluids. New phenomena include sonic shocks, split shocks and shocks which terminate at a finite distance from their origin.
