Abstract
The distortion, damping, and dispersion of a large amplitude pressure pulse of arbitrary initial profile, and advancing into a uniform region of relaxing gas in an equilibrium state, is described. Within the pulse an iterative solution based on an asymptotic modulated simple wave procedure is constructed. A relaxation tail is predicted, where a matched small amplitude iterative procedure is developed.Keywords
