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 …

The structure of a shock wave in a rarefied polyatomic gas is studied on the basis of the
theory of extended thermodynamics. Three types of the shock wave structure observed in …

In this paper the celebrated second order Aw-Rascle nonhomogeneous system describing
traffic flows is considered. Within the framework of the method of differential constraints, a …

The shock structure in a binary mixture of polyatomic Eulerian gases with different degrees
of freedom of a molecule is studied based on the multi-temperature model of rational …

We study the interaction between a shock and an acceleration wave in an Euler fluid
satisfying the ideal gas law, following the general theory developed by Boillat and Ruggeri …

In hyperbolic dissipative systems, the solution of the shock structure is not always
continuous and a discontinuous part (sub-shock) appears when the velocity of the shock …

We study the shock structure and the sub-shock formation in a binary mixture of rarefied
polyatomic gases, considering the dissipation only due to the dynamic pressure. We classify …

The problem of sub-shock formation within a shock structure solution of hyperbolic systems
of balance laws is investigated for a binary mixture of multi-temperature Eulerian fluids. The …

In this paper, within the framework of the Method of Differential Constraints, the celebrated p-
system is studied. All the possible constraints compatible with the original governing system …
