We consider self-similar solutions to the 1-dimensional isothermal Euler system for compressible gas dynamics. For each β ∈ R β∈ R, the system admits solutions of the form ρ (t, x)= t^ β Ω (ξ)\qquad u (t, x)= U (ξ)\qquad\qquad\textstyle ξ= x t, ρ (t, x)= t β Ω (ξ) u (t, x)= U (ξ) ξ= xt, where ρ ρ and u denote the density and velocity fields. The ODEs for Ω Ω and U can be solved implicitly and yield the solution to generalized Riemann problems with initial data ρ (0, x)=\left {R_l| x|^ β & x< 0\R_rx^ β & x> 0.\qquad u (0, x)=\left {U_l & x< 0\U_r & x> 0,. ρ (0, x)= R l| x| β x< 0 R rx β x> 0 u (0, x)= U lx< 0 U rx> 0, where R_l,\, R_r> 0 R l, R r> 0 and U_l,\U_r U l, U r are arbitrary constants. For β ∈ (-1, 0) β∈(-1, 0), the data are locally integrable but unbounded at x= 0 x= 0, while for β ∈ (0, 1) β∈(0, 1), the data are locally bounded and continuous but with unbounded gradients at x= 0 x= 0. Any (finite) degree of smoothness of the data is possible by choosing β> 1 β> 1 sufficiently large and U_l= U_r U l= U r.(The case β ≤-1 β≤-1 is unphysical as the initial density is not locally integrable and is not treated in this work.) The case β= 0 β= 0 corresponds to standard Riemann problems whose solutions are combinations of backward and forward shocks and rarefaction waves. In contrast, for β ∈ (-1, ∞)\smallsetminus {0\} β∈(-1,∞){0, we construct the self-similar solution and show that it always contains exactly two shock waves. These are necessarily generated at time 0+ 0+ and move apart along straight lines. We provide a physical interpretation of the solution structure and describe the behavior of the solution in the emerging wedge between the shock waves.
