The book aims to present the recent developments in Rational Extended Thermodynamics
(RET) of gases in both classical and relativistic cases. The RET theory is a …

A complete classification of shock waves in a van der Waals fluid is undertaken. This is in
order to gain a theoretical understanding of those shock-related phenomena as observed in …

We consider magnetotransport properties in a conducting chiral helimagnet, where the
magnetic kink crystal (MKC) is formed under weak magnetic field applied perpendicular to …

We study the six-field model of fluids (ET6) derived from extended thermodynamics. The six
fields are the mass density, the velocity, the temperature, and the dynamic pressure …

We present the state of the art of the mathematical theory of shock waves for hyperbolic
systems. We start with a brief review of ideal shock waves discussing, in particular, the …

Extended thermodynamics (ET) developed up to now fails when a gas is very dense and is
composed of molecules with small internal degrees of freedom because the condition of …

The Riemann problem for isentropic drift-flux model of compressible two-phase flow in a
variable cross-section duct is considered. First, the two-phase duct flow model is established …

This review presents the state of the art of the maximum entropy principle (MEP) in its
classical and quantum (QMEP) formulation. Within the classical MEP we overview a general …

In this paper we predict and simulate a peculiar type of compressive shock in a real gas
modeled by the van der Waals constitutive equation. This shock produces a phase transition …

The aim of the present paper is to investigate shock and rarefaction waves in a hyperbolic
model of incompressible fluids. To this aim, we use the so-called extended-quasi-thermal …
