On the wave interactions for the drift-flux equations with the Chaplygin gas

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2139078





The authors study solutions to the system (modeling two-phase flows) \[ \left\{ \begin{array}{l} \partial_t\rho_1 +\partial_x(\rho_1 u)=0,\\ \partial_t\rho_2 +\partial_x(\rho_2 u)=0,\\ \partial_t\big((\rho_1+\rho_2) u\big) +\partial_x\Big((\rho_1+\rho_2)u^2- (\frac{1}{\rho_1}+\frac{1}{\rho_2})\Big)=0, \end{array}\right. \] emerging from piecewise-constant inital data. The system is strictly hyperbolic with all three characteristic fields being linearly degenerate. The first part of the work deals with the Riemann problem. The authors exhibit two distinct situations: in one case the solution is described through three contact discontinuities, while the other case produces a less standard ``delta shock wave solution. In the second part, the authors investigate the interactions between contact discontinuities and delta shock waves, contact discontinuities and contact discontinuities, delta shock waves and delta shock waves, emerging from piecewise constant initial data with three states.
