Abstract: The problem of two- and three-dimensional small disturbances in a dissipative gas is considered. Explicit forms in terms of known functions are obtained for the time-asymptotic theory in each case. Although the far field solutions may be nonlinear in one dimension, they are always self-consistently linear for two and three dimensions.
