We study the propagation of initial osillations in the solutions of one-dimensional inviscid gas dynamic equations and the compressible Navier-Stokes equations. Using Multiple scale analysis, we derivbe the homogenized equations which take the form of n averaged system coupled with a dynamic cell-problem. We prove rigorous error estimates to justify the validity of these equations. We also show that the weak limits of the osicllatory solytions satisfy gas dynamic equations with an equation of state depeding on the microstructurer of the inital data
