Abstract

The so-called Cargo-LeRoux model is a hyperbolic system of conservation laws derived from the Euler equations with a constant gravity. This paper is concerned with such a model for an isentropic Chaplygin gas. The Riemann problem is solved with four kinds of structures. The first is composed of the contact discontinuities, the second contains an overcompressible δ-wave (δ-shock wave), and the third and fourth involve a contact discontinuity and a kind of non-overcompressible δ-wave. One of the highlights of this paper lies in the introduction of the non-overcompressible δ-waves.
