Intrinsic phenomena of delta shock waves in a more realistic Chaplygin Aw-Rascle model

The motivation of this study is to find the Riemann solutions of the Aw-Rascle model with a more realistic version of extended Chaplygin gas. Firstly, we establish the Riemann solutions with two different structures, viz., a shock wave followed by the contact discontinuity and a rarefaction wave followed by the contact discontinuity. Further, by analyzing the limiting behavior, it is found that one of the Riemann solutions converges to a $\delta$-shock solution as the pressure approaches the generalized Chaplygin gas pressure. Moreover, numerical simulations have been performed to validate the theoretical analysis.
