Abstract

Under fairly broad conditions, we establish a lower bound for the rate of total entropy generation associated with a similarity solution of a Riemann problem for a hyperbolic system of conservation laws. For weak Riemann problems, under more restrictive assumptions, we show that Dafermos' entropy condition is equivalent to the classical condition.
