“…Thus, the original 2+1-dimensional system (1) is decoupled into a pair of diagonal 1+1-dimensional systems. Solutions of this type, known as nonlinear interactions of n planar simple waves, were extensively investigated in gas dynamics and magnetohydrodynamics in a series of publications [5,6,7,36,37,9,20]. Later, they appeared in the context of the dispersionless KP hierarchy [15,16,17,18,21,31,29,30] and the theory of integrable hydrodynamictype chains [34,35].…”
