Construction of the 2d Riemann Solutions for a Nonstrictly Hyperbolic Conservation Law

چکیده
In this note, we consider the Riemann problem for a twodimensional nonstrictly hyperbolic system of conservation laws. Without the restriction that each jump of the initial data projects one planar elementary wave, six topologically distinct solutions are constructed by applying the generalized characteristic analysis method, in which the delta shock waves and the vacuum states appear. Moreover we demonstrate that the nature of our solutions is identical with that of solutions to the corresponding one-dimensional Cauchy problem, which provides a verification that our construction produces the correct global solutions.

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 کاملContemporary Mathematics Prototypes for Nonstrict Hyperbolicity in Conservation Laws
Many conservation law systems that arise in continuum mechanics fail to be strictly hyperbolic; this situation may even arise generically in some dimensions. By examining simple systems in a single space variable, where the mathematical theory of weak solutions has been developed, one may try to gain insight into how more realistic systems will behave. However, even in simple systems, there is ...
متن کاملRIEMANN PROBLEMS FOR NONSTRICTLY HYPERBOLIC 2x2 SYSTEMS OF CONSERVATION LAWS
The Riemann problem is solved for 2 x 2 systems of hyperbolic conservation laws having quadratic flux functions. Equations with quadratic flux functions arise from neglecting higher order nonlinear terms in hyperbolic systems that fail to be strictly hyperbolic everywhere. Such equations divide into four classes, three of which are considered in this paper. The solution of the Riemann problem i...
متن کاملConvergence of approximate solutions of the Cauchy problem for a 2× 2 nonstrictly hyperbolic system of conservation laws
A convergence theorem for the vanishing viscosity method and for the Lax–Friedrichs schemes, applied to a nonstrictly hyperbolic and nongenuinely nonlinear system is established. Using the theory of compensated compactness we prove convergence of a subsequence in the strong topology. c © 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
متن کاملHyperbolic theory of the ‘‘shallow water’’ magnetohydrodynamics equations
Recently the shallow water magnetohydrodynamic ~SMHD! equations have been proposed for describing the dynamics of nearly incompressible conducting fluids for which the evolution is nearly two-dimensional ~2D! with magnetohydrostatic equilibrium in the third direction. In the present paper the properties of the SMHD equations as a nonlinear system of hyperbolic conservation laws are described. C...
