Download or read book The Riemann Problem for the Transportation Equations in Gas Dynamics written by Wancheng Sheng and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1999 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, the one-dimensional and two-dimensional Riemann problems for the transportation equations in gas dynamics are solved constructively. In either the 1-D or 2-D case, there are only two kinds of solutions: one involves Dirac delta waves, and the other involves vacuums, which has been merely discussed so far. The generalized Rankine-Hugoniot and entropy conditions for Dirac delta waves are clarified with viscous vanishing method. All of the existence, uniqueness and stability for viscous perturbations are proved analytically
