Abstract: | We consider the Riemann problem for a system of conservation laws related to a phase transition problem. The system is nonisentropic and we treat the case where the latent heat is not zero. We study the cases where the initial data are given in the same phase and in the different phases. The role of the entropy condition is studied as well as the kinetic relation and the entropy rate admissibility criterion. We confine our attention to the case where the speeds of phase boundaries are close to zero. This is one interesting case in physics. We discuss the number of phase boundaries consistent with the above criteria and the uniqueness and nonuniqueness issue of the solution to the Riemann problem. |
