Abstract

The fluid flows in a variable cross-section duct are nonconservative because of the source term. Recently, the Riemann problem and the interactions of the elementary waves for the compressible isentropic gas in a variable cross-section duct were studied. In this paper, the Riemann problem for Chaplygin gas flow in a duct with discontinuous cross-section is studied. The elementary waves include rarefaction waves, shock waves, delta waves and stationary waves.
