Abstract: {it $delta$-Shock wave type solutions} in the multidimensional system of conservation laws ${\displaystyle }$ ho_t +

ablacdot( ho F(U))=0, qquad ( ho U)_t + ablacdot( ho N(U))=0, quad xin �R^n, ${\displaystyle }$ are studied, where $F=(F_j)$ is a given vector field, $N=(N_{jk})$ is a given tensor field, $$, $j,k=1,\mathrm{...},n$; $$, $$. The well-known particular cases of this system are zero-pressure gas dynamics in a standard form ${\displaystyle }$ ho_t + ablacdot( ho U)=0, quad ( ho U)_t + ablacdot( ho Uotimes U)=0, ${\displaystyle }$ and in the relativistic form ${\displaystyle }$ ho_t + ablacdot( ho C(U))=0, quad ( ho U)_t +

ablacdot( ho Uotimes C(U))=0, ${\displaystyle }$ where $C(U)=frac{c}_{0}Usqrt{c}_0^2+|U{|}^2$, $c_0$ is the speed of light. We introduce the integral identities which constitute definition of $delta$-shocks for the above systems and using this definition derive the Rankine--Hugoniot conditions for curvilinear $delta$-shocks. We show that $delta$-shocks are connected with {em transportation processes and concentration processes} and derive the $delta$-shock balance laws describing mass and momentum transportation between the volume outside the wave front and the wave front. In the case of zero-pressure gas dynamics the transportation process is the concentration process. We also prove that energy of the volume outside the wave front and total energy are {em nonincreasing quantities}. The possibility of the {em effect of kinematic self-gravitation} and the {em effect of dimensional bifurcations of $delta$-shock} in zero-pressure gas dynamics are discussed.
