Codimension-one Riemann solutions: missing rarefactions adjacent to doubly sonic transitional waves (Q1604758)

This paper deals with the following three subjects: (1) The author studies in detail the codimension one Riemann solutions that occur when a rarefaction that precedes or follows a doubly sonic transitional shock wave in a structurally stable Riemann solution shrinks to zero strength. (2) He gives a simple example of a structurally stable Riemann solution that contains a doubly sonic transitional shock wave, and he shows that the Riemann solution computed by a standard upwind scheme contains this shock wave. (3) The author gives simple example of the Riemann solution bifurcations studied in this paper.
