The propagation of shock waves in 2-D system of pressureless gas dynamics (English)
0 references
This paper studies shock waves for the 2-D nonstrictly hyperbolic system of pressure free gas dynamics. It is known that such a system has three coinciding characteristic fields and an incomplete set of eigenvectors. Due to this properties strong singularities can be devoloped in the shock waves, typically of the type of Dirac functions on the surface. The author uses generalized measure-valued solutions (in the sense of Radon measures) and derives the generalized Rankin-Hugoniot conditions. It is shown that in contrast to the 1-D case in the 2-D situation the system cannot be reduced to a single equation of Hamilton-Jacobi type. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0911.00029].
