Abstract

In this article, we make several comparisons of Riemann solutions of compressible Euler equations in the modified Chaplygin gas state (p=Aρ−ρ−1) and classical Chaplygin gas state (p=−ρ−1). Firstly, through the analysis of characteristic method, we construct the Riemann solutions for the modified Chaplygin gas state and compare the Riemann solutions with different coefficients A. Then we obtain the reason of the occurring of delta shock waves in classical Chaplygin gas case, which is the lower bounded of 1-wave curves and the upper bounded of 3-wave curves. Moreover, by comparing the position of simple wave curves between the modified and classical Chaplygin gas state, we find that no matter how small the coefficient A is, there is an initial Riemann data, subject to that the Riemann solutions for modified Chaplygin gas state contain rarefaction waves while the Riemann solutions for classical Chaplygin gas state are delta waves, which is different from the initial expect. Finally, we present a numerical analysis consistent with the theoretical analysis.
