The present paper faces the problem of heat conduction within the framework of thermodynamics with internal state variables. A model, in which the heat flux vector depends both on the gradient of the absolute temperature and the gradient of a scalar internal variable, is proposed. Such a model leads to a diffusive-hyperbolic system which in general is parabolic, but also allows to shift to the hyperbolic regime. In the hyperbolic case the propagation of weak discontinuity waves is investigated. The Rankine-Hugoniot and Lax conditions for the propagation of strong shock waves are analyzed as well.

Abstract

The present paper faces the problem of heat conduction within the framework of thermodynamics with internal state variables. A model, in which the heat flux vector depends both on the gradient of the absolute temperature and the gradient of a scalar internal variable, is proposed. Such a model leads to a diffusive-hyperbolic system which in general is parabolic, but also allows to shift to the hyperbolic regime. In the hyperbolic case the propagation of weak discontinuity waves is investigated. The Rankine-Hugoniot and Lax conditions for the propagation of strong shock waves are analyzed as well.
