Abstract

We applied a method of symmetry reduction to the gas dynamics equations with a special form of the equation of state. This equation of state is a pressure represented as the sum of a density and an entropy functions. The symmetry Lie algebra of the system is 12-dimensional. One, two and three-dimensional subalgebras were considered. In this article, four-dimensional subalgebras are considered for the first time. Specifically, invariants are calculated for 50 four-dimensional subalgebras. Using invariants of one of the subalgebras, a symmetry reduction of the original system is calculated. The reduced system is a partially invariant submodel because one gas-dynamic function cannot be expressed in terms of the invariants. The submodel leads to two families of exact solutions, one of which describes the isochoric motion of the media, and the other solution specifies an arbitrary blow-up surface. For the first family of solutions, the particle trajectories are parabolas or rays; for the second family of solutions, the particles move along cubic parabolas or straight lines. From each point of the blow-up surface, particles fly out at different speeds and end up on a straight line at any other fixed moment in time. A description of the motion of particles for each family of solutions is given.
