TLDR
A survey of qualitative shock wave theory can be found in this paper, which is meant to explain some of the key issues close to the interest of the author and raise open questions.
Abstract
We survey the qualitative shock wave theory. The survey is meant to explain some of the key issues close to the interest of the author and raise open questions.

Linear and nonlinear waves, by G. B. Whitham. Pp.636. £50. 1999. ISBN 0 471 35942 4 (Wiley).

TL;DR: To the best of our knowledge, there is only one application of mathematical modelling to face recognition as mentioned in this paper, and it is a face recognition problem that scarcely clamoured for attention before the computer age but, having surfaced, has attracted the attention of some fine minds.

Shock waves in gas dynamics.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a survey with references about various topics related to shock waves: Hyperbolic conservation laws, well-posedness theory, Compactness Theory, Shock and reaction-diusion wave, The CJ and ZND theory, Existence of detonation in Majda's model, Premixed laminar Lame, Multidimensional gas (MGL) problem, and multidimensional Riemann problem.

Shock Waves and Reaction-Diffusion Equations

Joel Smoller
TL;DR: In this paper, the basics of hyperbolic conservation laws and the theory of systems of reaction-diffusion equations, including the generalized Morse theory as developed by Charles Conley, are presented in a way accessible to a wider audience than just mathematicians.
