Evolution of weak discontinuity in a van der Waals gas

In this article, the Lie symmetries analysis that leaves the system of partial differential equations (PDEs), governed by the one dimensional unsteady flow of an isentropic, inviscid and perfectly conducting compressible fluid obeying the van der Waals equation of state invariant, is presented. Usin...
