Nonlinear dispersive regularization of inviscid gas dynamics

Ideal gas dynamics can develop shock-like singularities with discontinuous density. Viscosity typically regularizes such singularities and leads to a shock structure. On the other hand, in one dimension, singularities in the Hopf equation can be non-dissipatively smoothed via Korteweg–de Vries (KdV)...
