Abstract: We study the Riemann problem for the system of conservation laws of one-dimensional isentropic gas dynamics in Eulerian coordinates. We construct solutions of the Riemann problem by the method of self-similar zero-viscosity limits, where the self-similar viscosity only appears in the equation for the conservation of momentum. No size restrictions on the data are imposed. The structure of the solutions obtained is also analyzed.
