Abstract

Lord Rayleigh argued that after a discontinuity develops in a one-dimensional compression wave in an ideal inviscid fluid some sort of motion must continue. Arguments are given in support of this view and a suggestion is made as to what that motion might be. The relationship of this motion to that proposed by Onsager for incompressible inviscid turbulent flows is discussed.
