Phase transitions in filtration of Redlich-Kwong gases
In this paper we study a 3-dimensional filtration of real gases described by Redlich-Kwong equations of state. Thermodynamical states are considered as Legendrian (Lagrangian) submanifolds in contact (symplectic) space. Connection between singularities of their projection on the space of intensive variables and phase transitions is shown. Explicit formulae for the Dirichlet boundary problem are given and the distribution of phases in space is shown.
