Mass-injection term in the acoustic analogy

ID: mass-injection-term-in-the-acoustic-analogy

If the continuity equation has mass source and the conservative momentum equation has momentum source , elimination of momentum gives the displayed wave equation. With no imposed momentum source, its extra term is . A compact source of total mass rate radiates the acoustic monopole . The momentum source supplies an additional acoustic dipole; specifying mass injection alone does not fix that dipole.
