Asymptotic solutions are obtained for the two-dimensional Euler system for
real gases with appropriate boundary conditions which describe the diffraction
of a weak shock at a right-angled wedge; the real gas effects are characterized
by a van der Waals type equation of state. The behavior of the flow
configuration influenced by the real gas effects, that includes the local
structure near a singular point, is studied in detail.Comment: 14 pages, 1 figure. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with
