This paper investigates theoretically the focusing of weak acoustic shock waves at a caustic cusp. Near the cusp, a diffraction boundary layer is introduced, the characteristic length-scales of which are determined with the help of Pearcey function which governs the field in linear acoustics. With t
The time decay of weak shock waves in shock tubes is studied analytically and experimentally. The analysis is based on a balance between the rate of change of energy of the main flow, and the rate at which energy is dissipated at the walls of the tube and at the shock. The experiments consist of mea
