| 7 | | Given the above properties of the Riemann problem, there is an algebraic expression of which the root is the p in the central region or "star-region" (denoted by '*'), between the L- and R- waves. The overall structure of the Riemann problem then is to solve this algebraic equation for p*. Once p* is known, u* follows immediately. The remaining rho*_L and rho*_R follow from expressions valid for the specific L- or R- wave present. |
