A Self-similar Viscosity Approach for the Riemann Problem in Isentropic Gas Dynamics and the Structure of the Solutions
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the Riemann problem for the system of conservation laws of one dimensional isentropic gas dynamics in Eulerian coordinates. We construct solutions of the Riemann problem by the method of self-similar zero-viscosity limits, where the self-similar viscosity only appears in the equation for the conservation of momentum. No size restrictions on the data are imposed. The structure of the obtained solutions is also analyzed.

Self-similar solutions of the Riemann problem for two-dimensional systems of conservation laws
In this paper, a new approach is applied to study the self-similar solutions of 2×2 systems of nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws. A notion of characteristic directions is introduced and then used to construct local and smooth solutions of the associated Riemann problem
متن کاملA Riemann Problem for the Isentropic Gas Dynamics Equations
We study a Riemann problem for the two-dimensional isentropic gas dynamics equations which models transonic regular reflection. When written in self-similar coordinates, the system changes type from hyperbolic to mixed hyperbolic-elliptic. Using the theory of one-dimensional hyperbolic conservation laws, we formulate a free boundary problem in the subsonic region and we outline the main ideas f...
متن کاملNo Tvd Fields for 1-d Isentropic Gas Flow
We prove that isentropic gas flow does not admit non-degenerate TVD fields on any invariant set M(r0, s0) = {r0 < r < s < s0}, where r, s are Riemann coordinates. A TVD field refers to a scalar field whose spatial variation VarX(φ(τ(t,X), u(t,X))) is nonincreasing in time along entropic solutions. The result is established under the assumption that the Riemann problem defined by an overtaking s...
متن کاملMixed hyperbolic-elliptic systems in self-similar flows
From the observation that self-similar solutions of conservation laws in two space dimensions change type, it follows that for systems of more than two equations, such as the equations of gas dynamics, the reduced systems will be of mixed hyperbolicelliptic type, in some regions of space. In this paper, we derive mixed systems for the isentropic and adiabatic equations of compressible gas dynam...
متن کاملInvestigation of energy consumption reduction in multistage compression process and its solutions
During hot seasons the inlet temperature of Nitrogen increases, as a result compressor consumes more power for compressing a specific mass ratio of fluid and consequently total energy consumption of the compressor increases as well. In this research, a three stage centrifugal compressor with intercooler was modeled thermodynamically in order to decreases the energy consumption of the compressor...
