In the present paper, Lie group symmetry method is used to obtain some exact solutions for a hyperbolic system of partial differential equations (PDEs), which governs an isothermal no-slip drift-flux model for multiphase flow problem. Those symmetries are used for the governing system of equations to obtain infinitesimal transformations, which consequently reduces the governing system of PDEs to a system of ODEs. Further, the solutions of the system of ODEs which in turn produces some exact solutions for the PDEs are presented. Finally, the evolutionary behavior of weak discontinuity is discussed.
