Oil/Gas - shosk wave formation


Expert: William Hawk Howes - 3/23/2009

Question
Do you accidentally know about a connection between the shock wave formation process for multidimensional conservation laws and petroleum engineering?

I know that shock waves are used to determine existence of oil in the ground. If I am able to describe mathematicaly (to write a formula) how a shock wave arises from a smooth profile, how that could be used in petroleum engineering?

I completely understand that the question is vague and I am sorry for this.

Grateful in advance in any case.

Darko.

Answer
AN interesting and intriguing question. Will take some serious research. However AllExperts will not give me enough time, keep sending me "What the heck" notifications.
