General solutions to the equations of acoustics in inhomogeneous media and gas dynamics

Abstract

This paper considers one-dimensional equations of acoustics equations of inhomogeneous media and the system of gas dynamics equations with constant entropy. Using the Riemann approach, the gas dynamics equations are reduced to a second-order linear hyperbolic equation with variable coefficients. Solutions to this equation are constructed using Euler transformations. This allows us to find new exact solutions of the equations of acoustics and gas dynamics, depending on two arbitrary functions.
