Nonlinear wave interactions for a flux perturbed model in non-ideal gas dynamics Sumita Jana, Sahadeb Kuila Journal of Mathematical Physics, 2025 This work explores the Riemann problem for a pressureless gas dynamics Cargo–LeRoux model with constant gravity governing a 3 by 3 system of conservation laws in the absence of external forces of Euler equations. Introducing flux perturbation of a van der Waals isothermal gas, the elementary waves of the Riemann problem are derived and establish the existence-uniqueness of the Riemann solution for arbitrary initial data locally. We develop a series of test cases to design these waves, where the Newton-Raphson method of two variables is used to determine the unknown densities. Moreover, the influence of van der Waals excluded volume on physical quantities such as density, potential, velocity and total pressure is analyzed and illustrated graphically using MATLAB. Finally, we extensively study the elementary wave interactions with and without involving contact discontinuity and the possible combination of waves is demonstrated thoroughly.
Riemann Problem for a Two-Lane Traffic Model in Dusty Gas Flow M. Manikandan, Sumita Jana, Sahadeb Kuila Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, 2025 In this work, we deal with the Riemann solution for a 3 by 3 macroscopic two‐lane traffic flow model of two distinct velocities and equal vehicle density in each lane, along with dust particles obeying the Mie–Grüneisen type equation of state. Based on the characteristic field analysis, we discuss the properties of rarefaction waves, shocks, and contact discontinuities elaborately. For every combination of elementary waves, we provide a solution strategy and derive the two nonlinear algebraic equations of two unknowns. Further, the existence‐uniqueness of the Riemann solution is established locally for arbitrary initial data. Moreover, we apply the Newton–Raphson method for the nonlinear algebraic equations to obtain densities across the middle characteristic field. In the end, we have elaborately discussed the influence of the mass fraction and volume fraction of solid particles in physical quantities with a series of test cases.
Riemann solutions and shock wave interactions for a two-velocity isentropic traffic flow M Venkateshprasath, Sahadeb Kuila Physica Scripta, 2025 The study explores the Riemann problem and wave interactions for a two-lane two velocities traffic flow model with ideal isentropic pressure governing 3 × 3 system of hyperbolic conservation laws. Utilizing the method of characteristics, we construct the elementary waves, namely shock waves, rarefaction waves, and contact discontinuities of the Riemann problem in one-parameter family of curves. A condition for the existence of a unique solution is proved on arbitrary initial data which is not necessarily closed. Also, we establish a necessary and sufficient condition to determine whether a shock wave or a rarefaction wave exist of the solution in one-family and three-family of characteristic fields. Further, we analyze the combination of two shocks originating from the same family. Moreover, we solve the Riemann problem in a qualitative manner by considering the projections of the elementary waves in phase plane. At the end, the conditions on initial data are demonstrated to the waves structure of the Riemann problem along with the vacuum state.
Nonlinear wave interactions of the Riemann problem for a two-lane traffic flow model Sahadeb Kuila, Sumita Jana, T. Raja Sekhar Physics of Fluids, 2025 In this work, we analyze all possible nonlinear wave interactions within a macroscopic traffic flow model for a two-lane system with a van der Waals gas pressure, two distinct velocities, and equal vehicle density in each lane. The Riemann solution is derived constructively by exploiting the characteristic analysis approach. Properties of possible elementary waves, namely, shock, rarefaction, and contact discontinuity waves, are thoroughly investigated. With respect to arbitrary initial data, we also prove that the exact solution to the Riemann problem uniquely exists. Furthermore, we explore in detail about the elementary wave interactions that occur between rarefaction and shock waves with and without involving contact discontinuity. At the end, following each wave interaction the global structure of the Riemann solution is explicitly established with an evident graphic illustration using MATHEMATICA software. Here, nonlinear wave interaction finds that the local solution of the initial value problem produces a unique result, where a shock wave can travel in the same direction or the opposite direction while a rarefaction wave also can be generated in either directions. Additionally, the contact discontinuity wave may or may not be developed following the interaction.
On the Riemann problem and interaction of elementary waves for two-layered blood flow model through arteries Sumita Jana, Sahadeb Kuila Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, 2024 In this paper, we focus on the Riemann problem for two‐layered blood flow model, which is represented by a system of quasi‐linear hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs) derived from the Euler equations by vertical averaging across each layer. We consider the Riemann problem with varying velocities and equal constant density through arteries. For instance, the flow layer close to the wall of vessel has a slower average speed than the layer far from the vessel because of the viscous effect of the blood vessel. We first establish the existence and uniqueness of the corresponding Riemann solution by a thorough investigation of the properties of elementary waves, namely, shock wave, rarefaction wave, and contact discontinuity wave. Further, we extensively analyze the elementary wave interaction between rarefaction wave and shock wave with contact discontinuity and rarefaction wave and shock wave. The global structure of the Riemann solutions after each wave interaction is explicitly constructed and graphically illustrated towards the end.
Solution to the Riemann problem for drift-flux model with modified Chaplygin two-phase flows Dia Zeidan, Sumita Jana, Sahadeb Kuila, T. Raja Sekhar International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, 2023 Abstract In this paper, we concern about the Riemann problem for compressible no‐slip drift‐flux model which represents a system of quasi‐linear partial differential equations derived by averaging the mass and momentum conservation laws with modified Chaplygin two‐phase flows. We obtain the exact solution of Riemann problem by elaborately analyzing characteristic fields and discuss the elementary waves namely, shock wave, rarefaction wave and contact discontinuity wave. By employing the equality of pressure and velocity across the middle characteristic field, two nonlinear algebraic equations with two unknowns as gas density ahead and behind the middle wave are formed. The Newton–Raphson method of two variables is applied to find the unknowns with a series of initial data from the literature. Finally, the exact solution for the physical quantities such as gas density, liquid density, velocity, and pressure are illustrated graphically.
Weak shock wave interactions in isentropic Cargo-LeRoux model of flux perturbation Sahadeb Kuila, Dia Zeidan, T. Raja Sekhar Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, 2022 In this paper, we explore the weak shock wave interactions in isentropic Cargo‐LeRoux model of flux perturbation which describes strictly hyperbolic quasilinear system of conservation laws. For the Riemann problem, we provide a global existence and uniqueness result of exact solution. Further, we establish the exact solution explicitly in terms of one parameter family of elementary wave curves. We devise a necessary and sufficient condition on initial data for which the solution of the Riemann problem consists of either a shock wave or a simple wave according to one and three family of characteristic curves. Lastly, we analyze the Von Neumann result related to collision of weak shock waves of same family.
