On the propagation of temperature-rate waves and traveling waves in rigid conductors of the Graffi--Franchi--Straughan type
We examine second-sound phenomena in a class of rigid, thermally conduct- ing, solids that are described by a special case of the Maxwell–Catteneo flux law. Employing both analytical and numerical methods, we examine both temperature-rate waves and thermal traveling waves in this class of thermal conductor, which have recently been termed Graffi–Franchi–Straughan type conductors.
