This research program investigates by both analytical                   and computational methods a broad class of nonlinear waves                      in continuum mechanics and kinetic theory of gases.  The                        principal analytical tools include characteristic methods,                      energy and spectral methods, the principle of nonlinear                         superposition.  Computational tools include higher order                        Godunov schemes, the method of random choice, etc.                                      Research results will have implications in equilibrium                  and nonequilibrium gas dynamics, flood waves, shallow water                     phenomena, behavior of elastic materials with memory, elastic-                  plastic flows, dusty gases, porous media flows, etc.
