Riemann problem for a nonsymmetric Keyfitz-Kranzer and pressureless gas systems with a time-dependent Coulomb-like friction term

Abstract

In this paper, we study the Riemann solutions for two systems: the nonsymmetric Keyfitz-Kranzer system and the pressureless system, both of which have a time-dependent Coulomb-like friction term. Our analysis identified two types of Riemann solutions: contact discontinuities and delta-shock solutions. We obtain generalized Rankine-Hugoniot conditions, which is the support for constructing the delta-shock solution for the nonsymmetric Keyfitz-Kranzer system with a time-dependent Coulomb-like friction term. Furthermore, we demonstrate that as the pressure tends to zero, the Riemann solutions of the nonsymmetric Keyfitz-Kranzer system converge to those of the pressureless system, with both systems incorporating a time-dependent Coulomb-like friction term.
