✦ Synopsis

The existence of solutions for the Riemann problem of a mixed type system is established by a vanishing similarity viscosity approach. The solutions that we construct are also admissible by the travelling wave criterion derived from the most common form of viscosity. The assumption needed includes the constitutive function of van der Waals Ruids. ' 1993 Academic Press. Inc.
