Abstract
We analyze the self-similar isentropic irrotational Euler system via the hodograph transformation. We diagonalize the system of equations in the phase space. We use these equations to analyze the binary interaction of arbitrary planar rarefaction waves, which includes the classical problem of a wedge of gas expanding into vacuum.
