Abstract
We present a variant of the conditional symmetry method for obtaining rank-k solutions in terms of Riemann invariants for first-order quasilinear hyperbolic systems of PDEs in many dimensions and discuss examples of applying the proposed approach to fluid dynamics equations in n+1 dimensions in detail. We obtain several new types of algebraic, rational, and soliton-like solutions (including kinks, bumps, and multiple-wave solutions).
