Abstract: | We present a phase decomposition approach to deal with the generalized Rankine–Hugoniot relations and then the Riemann problem for a model of two-phase flows. By investigating separately the jump relations for equations in conservative form in the solid phase, we show that the volume fractions can change only across contact discontinuities. Then, we prove that the generalized Rankine–Hugoniot relations are reduced to the usual form. It turns out that shock waves and rarefaction waves remain on one phase only, and the contact waves serve as a bridge between the two phases. By decomposing Riemann solutions into each phase, we show that Riemann solutions can be constructed for large initial data. Furthermore, the Riemann problem admits a unique solution for an appropriate choice of initial data. |
