If the continuity equation has mass source M and the conservative momentum equation has momentum source Si​, elimination of momentum gives the displayed wave equation. With no imposed momentum source, its extra term is ∂t​M. A compact source of total mass rate M=∫MdV radiates the acoustic monopole ρM′​=M˙(t−r/c0​)/(4πc02​r). The momentum source supplies an additional acoustic dipole; specifying mass injection alone does not fix that dipole.
