Two-dimensional shock waves for a model problem (Q1668098)

The author studies the Riemann' problem for the two-component modification of the system of shallow water equations, which is nonstrictly hyperbolic in the sense of Petrovskii but is not nonstrictly hyperbolic in the sense of Lax. The author shows the existence of a two-velocity regime which is essentially the two-dimensional shock wave. The author's study shows that the appearance of an associated vector leads to the Riemann-Hugoniot catastrophe, and the two-velocity regime propagates in the eigenspace corresponding to the multiple eigenvalue.
