The concentration and cavitation in the Riemann solution for non-homogeneous logrithmic equation of state with magnetic field

Abstract

In the present study, the phenomena of concentration and cavitation in the Riemann solution for the non-homogeneous hyperbolic system with logarithmic equation of state and magnetic field is analyzed. Firstly, we introduced new state variable for the velocity to modify the non-conservative system into conservative system and solved the Riemann problem for modified system constructively. Further, the Riemann solutions for the transport equations is investigated as pressure and magnetic field vanish. It is proved that the Riemann solution for the non-homogeneous hyperbolic system with logarithmic equation of state and magnetic field having two shock waves converges to the delta shock wave solution of the transport equations as pressure and magnetic field vanish. It is also proved that the Riemann solution for the non-homogeneous hyperbolic system with logarithmic equation of state and magnetic field having two rarefaction waves converges to the contact discontinuity solution of the transport equations as pressure and magnetic field vanish.
