Abstract:
Three initial-boundary-value problems for the equations of gas dynamics are formulated. Successive solution of these problems yields a solution of Kraiko's problem of the isentropic transition of an ideal gas from a homogeneous state of rest to another state of rest with higher or lower density. Solutions are constructed for plane, cylindrical, and spherical layers of an ideal gas. The existence of locally analytic solutions is proved.
