In this paper, we solve the Riemann problem for a coupled hyperbolic system of
conservation laws, which arises as an intermediate model in the flux splitting method for the computation
of Euler equations in gasdynamics. We study the properties of solutions involving shock and
rarefaction waves, and establish their existence and uniqueness. We present numerical examples for
different initial data, and finally discuss all possible elementary wave interactions; it is noticed that
in certain cases the resulting wave pattern after interaction is substantially different from that which
arises in isentropic gasdynamics.
