Riemann problem for a compressible perfect fluid with a constant external force for the Chaplygin gas

Abstract The Riemann problem for a compressible perfect fluid with a constant external force for the Chaplygin gas is considered. We obtain two kinds of exact solutions. The first one consists of contact discontinuities, while the other one involves a delta shock wave in which both density and inter...
