Singularities of wavefields and sonic boom

This paper analyses the generic singularities that can occur in wavefields driven by point acoustic sources moving steadily or accelerating in homogeneous or stratified atmospheres. These situations are unified by the result that the strongest wavefields satisfy the Tricomi equation, except in cases...
