Abstract

The Liang equation which describes the one-dimensional motion of a relativistic fluid in the hodograph plane is treated with the methods of Lie group analysis. In particular, it is shown that this equation admits Lie symmetries if the sound speed satisfies a differential condition. A certain number of similarity solutions are also given in correspondence to some specific determinations of the sound speed which are of physical interest.
