Abstract
Exact, analytical, solutions to the set of Euler equations augmented by some rather particular forms of source functions are available, and play a useful role in helping to validate numerical solutions of some complex physical problems. As well as providing support for numerical algorithms, such exact solutions can sometimes also help with an understanding of the physics of a real problem. Here, an investigation of a combustion problem illustrates this fact.
