Abstract

We construct a large family of exact solutions to the hyperbolic system of 3 equations of ideal granular hydrodynamics in several dimensions for arbitrary adiabatic index γ\gamma. In dependence of initial conditions these solutions can keep smoothness for all times or develop singularity. In particular, in the 2D case the singularity can be formed either in a point or along a line. For γ=1\gamma=-1 the problem is reduced to the system of two equations, related to a special case of the Chaplygin gas. In the 1D case this system can be written in the Riemann invariant and can be treated in a standard way. The solution to the Riemann problem in this case demonstrate an unusual and complicated behavior.
