Nonclassical Riemann solvers and kinetic relations III: A nonconvex hyperbolic model for Van der Waals fluids

This paper deals with the so-called p-system describing the dynamics of isothermal and compressible fluids. The constitutive equation is assumed to have the typical convexity/concavity properties of the van der Waals equation. We search for discontinuous solutions constrained by the associated mathe...
