Abstract

We study a special class of Riemann problem with axisymmetry for two-dimensional nonlinear wave equations with the equation of state p = A1ργ1 + A2ργ2, Ai < 0, -3 < yi < -1 (i = 1, 2). The main difficulty lies in that the equations can not be directly reduced to an autonomous system of ordinary differential equations. To solve it, we use the axisymmetry and self-similarity assumptions to reduce the equations to a decoupled system which includes three components of solution. By solving the decoupled system, we obtain the structures of the corresponding solutions and their existence.
