    The authors study invariant solutions of partial differential equations by solving a reduced system involving one independent variable less. When the solutions are invariant with respect to the so called projective group, the reduced system is simply the steady version of the original system. This feature permits to generate unsteady solutions when steady solutions are known. The knowledge of an optimal system of subalgebras of the principal Lie algebra admitted by a system of differential equations provides a method of classifying H-invariant solutions as well as constructing systematically some transformations (essentially differential transformations) mapping the given system to a suitable form. The authors focus their attention on Galilean first order quasilinear systems of partial differential equations that admit the projective transformation and a scaling group. Then they specialize these results to Euler equations of ideal gas.
