We give a geometrical interpretation of thermodynamics with a special emphasis on phase transitions. We use ideas from the geometrical theory of PDEs, in particular, symmetries and differential constraints to find solutions to the Euler system. Solutions obtained are multivalued, have singularities of projection to the plane of independent variables. We analyze the propagation of the shock wave front along with phase transitions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-11-28T17:34:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35Q35" ], "keywords": [ "phase transitions", "euler flows", "multivalued solutions", "singularities", "shock wave front" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
