Asymptotic solutions are obtained for the two-dimensional Euler system for real gases with appropriate boundary conditions which describe the diffraction of a weak shock at a right-angled wedge; the real gas effects are characterized by a van der Waals type equation of state. The behavior of the flow configuration influenced by the real gas effects, that includes the local structure near a singular point, is studied in detail.
