AbstractThe Riemann problem for a perfect fluid model with zero pressure is considered, where the external force is a given continuous function of time. All of exact solutions are given. In particular, a vacuum occurs in the solutions, although initial data stay far away from the vacuum. It is shown that a delta shock wave in which density and internal energy contain a Dirac delta function develops in the solutions. The position, velocity, and weights of the delta shock wave are presented explicitly. Moreover, all of the solutions are not self-similar because of the presence of the external force.

AbstractThis paper is concerned with the construction of global measure-valued solutions to the extended Riemann problem for a non-strictly hyperbolic system of two conservation laws with delta-type initial data. The wave interaction problems have been extensively studied for all kinds of situations by using the initial condition consisting of constant states in three pieces instead of delta-type initial data under the perturbation method. The measure-valued solutions of the extended Riemann problem are achieved constructively when the perturbed parameter tends to zero. During the process of constructing solutions, a new and interesting nonlinear phenomenon is discovered, in which the initial Dirac delta function travels along the trajectory of either delta shock wave or contact discontinuity (or delta contact discontinuity). Moreover, a delta shock wave is separated into a delta contact discontinuity and a shock wave during the process of delta shock wave penetrating a composite wave composed of a rarefaction wave and a contact discontinuity. In addition, we further consider the constructions of global measure-valued solutions when the initial condition contains Dirac delta functions at two different initial points.

We analyze the appearance of delta shock wave and vacuum state in the vanishing pressure limit of Riemann solutions to the non-isentropic generalized Chaplygin gas equations. As the pressure vanishes, the Riemann solution including two shock waves and possible one contact discontinuity converges to a delta shock wave solution. Both the densityρand the internal energyHsimultaneously present a Dirac delta singularity. And the Riemann solution involving two rarefaction waves and possible one contact discontinuity converges to a solution involving vacuum state of the transport equations.

The “function” δ(x - xo) is known as the Dirac Delta function and may be defined as zero everywhere except at xo, where it is infinite in such a way that1having property that for every continuous function φ(x) on (a, b)2It is well known [2] δ(x-xo) can be approximated as a limit of a sequence of piecewise continuous functions, and there is an abundance of such sequences.
