An Interaction of a Rarefaction Wave and a Transonic Shock for the Self-Similar Two-Dimensional Nonlinear Wave System

We study a two dimensional Riemann problem for the self-similar nonlinear wave system which gives rise to an interaction of a transonic shock and a rarefaction wave. The interesting feature of this problem is that the governing equation changes its type from supersonic in the far field to subsonic near the origin. The subsonic region is then bounded above by the sonic line (degenerate) and below by the transonic shock (free boundary). Furthermore due to the rarefaction wave in the downstream, which interacts with the transonic shock, the problem becomes inhomogeneous and degenerate. We establish the existence result of the global solution to this configuration, and present analysis to understand the solution structure of this problem.

The singular solutions to a nonsymmetric system of Keyfitz-Kranzer type with initial data of Riemann type

The solutions to the Riemann problem for a nonsymmetric system of Keyfitz-Kranzer type are constructed explicitly when the initial data are located in the quarter phase plane. In particular, some singular hyperbolic waves are discovered when one of the Riemann initial data is located on the boundary of the quarter phase plane, such as the delta shock wave and some composite waves in which the contact discontinuity coincides with the shock wave or the wave back of rarefaction wave. The double Riemann problem for this system with three piecewise constant states is also considered when the delta shock wave is involved. Furthermore, the global solutions to the double Riemann problem are constructed through studying the interaction between the delta shock wave and the other elementary waves by using the method of characteristics. Some interesting nonlinear phenomena are discovered during the process of constructing solutions; for example, a delta shock wave is decomposed into a delta contact discontinuity and a shock wave.     

Continuous compression waves in the two-dimensional Riemann problem

The interaction between a plane shock wave in a plate and a wedge is considered within the framework of the nondissipative compressible fluid dynamic equations. The wedge is filled with a material that may differ from that of the plate. Based on the numerical solution of the original equations, self-similar solutions are obtained for several versions of the problem with an iron plate and a wedge filled with aluminum and for the interaction of a shock wave in air with a rigid wedge. The behavior of the solids at high pressures is approximately described by a two-term equation of state. In all the problems, a two-dimensional continuous compression wave develops as a wave reflected from the wedge or as a wave adjacent to the reflected shock. In contrast to a gradient catastrophe typical of one-dimensional continuous compression waves, the spatial gradient of a two-dimensional compression wave decreases over time due to the self-similarity of the solution. It is conjectured that a phenomenon opposite to the gradient catastrophe can occur in an actual flow with dissipative processes like viscosity and heat conduction. Specifically, an initial shock wave is transformed over time into a continuous compression wave of the same amplitude.     

Stability of the Riemann solutions for a nonstrictly hyperbolic system of conservation laws

We prove that the Riemann solutions are stable for a nonstrictly hyperbolic system of conservation laws under local small perturbations of the Riemann initial data. The proof is based on the detailed analysis of the interactions of delta shock waves with shock waves and rarefaction waves. During the interaction process of the delta shock wave with the rarefaction wave, a new kind of nonclassical wave, namely a delta contact discontinuity, is discovered here, which is a Dirac delta function supported on a contact discontinuity and has already appeared in the interaction process for the magnetohydrodynamics equations [M. Nedeljkov and M. Oberguggenberger, Interactions of delta shock waves in a strictly hyperbolic system of conservation laws, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 344 (2008) 1143-1157]. Moreover, the global structures and large time asymptotic behaviors of the solutions are constructed and analyzed case by case.     

Asymptotic behavior of solutions for the 1-D isentropic Navier–Stokes–Korteweg equations with free boundary

In this paper, we consider the problem with a gas–gas free boundary for the one dimensional isentropic compressible Navier–Stokes–Korteweg system. For shock wave, asymptotic profile of the problem is shown to be a shifted viscous shock profile, which is suitably away from the boundary, and prove that if the initial data around the shifted viscous shock profile and its strength are sufficiently small, then the problem has a unique global strong solution, which tends to the shifted viscous shock profile as time goes to infinity. Also, we show the asymptotic stability toward rarefaction wave without the smallness on the strength if the initial data around the rarefaction wave are sufficiently small.     

Global entropy solutions to the relativistic Euler equations for a class of large initial data

We are concerned with global entropy solutions to the relativistic Euler equations for a class of large initial data which involve the interaction of shock waves and rarefaction waves. We first carefully analyze the global behavior of the shock curves, the rarefaction wave curves, and their corresponding inverse curves in the phase plane. Based on these analyses, we use the Glimm scheme to construct global entropy solutions to the relativistic Euler equations for the class of large discontinuous initial data.

Interactions of delta shock waves for the chromatography equations

This paper is devoted to the interactions of the delta shock waves with the shock waves and the rarefaction waves for the simplified chromatography equations. The global structures of solutions are constructed completely if the delta shock waves are included when the initial data are taken three piece constants and then the stability of Riemann solutions is also analyzed with the vanishing middle region. In particular, the strength of delta shock wave is expressed explicitly and the delta contact discontinuity is discovered during the process of wave interaction.     

Global Perturbation of the Riemann Problem for the System of Compressible Flow Through Porous Media

In this paper we consider the unperturbatcd and perturbated Riemann problem for the damped quasiliuear hyperbolic system {v_t - u_x = 0 u_t + p(v)_x = -αu, α > 0, p'(v} < 0 with initial structure of two rarefaction waves or one rarefaction wave plus one shock wave. Under certain restrictions, it admits a unique global discontinuous solution in a class of piecewise continuous and piecewise smooth functions and keeps the initial structure. Moreover, the shock strength is found decaying exponentially due to damping for the later case.     

Steady supersonic flow past an almost straight wedge with large vertex angle

This paper studies the problem on the steady supersonic flow at the constant speed past an almost straight wedge with a piecewise smooth boundary. It is well known that if each vertex angle of the straight wedge is less than an extreme angle determined by the shock polar, the shock wave is attached to the tip of the wedge and constant states on both side of the shock are supersonic. This paper is devoted to generalizing this result. Under the hypotheses that each vertex angle is less than the extreme angle and the total variation of tangent angle along each edge is sufficiently small, a sequence of approximate solutions constructed by a modified Glimm scheme is proved to be convergent to a global weak solution of the steady problem. A sequence of the corresponding approximate leading shock fronts issuing from the tip is shown to be convergent to the leading shock front of the obtained solution. The regularity of the leading shock front is established and the asymptotic behaviour of the obtained solution at infinity is also studied.

Supersonic flow onto a solid wedge

We consider the problem of two‐dimensional supersonic flow onto a solid wedge, or equivalently in a concave corner formed by two solid walls. For mild corners, there are two possible steady state solutions, one with a strong and one with a weak shock emanating from the corner. The weak shock is observed in supersonic flights. A longstanding natural conjecture is that the strong shock is unstable in some sense. We resolve this issue by showing that a sharp wedge will eventually produce weak shocks at the tip when accelerated to a supersonic speed. More precisely, we prove that for upstream state as initial data in the entire domain, the time‐dependent solution is self‐similar, with a weak shock at the tip of the wedge. We construct analytic solutions for self‐similar potential flow, both isothermal and isentropic with arbitrary γ ≥ 1. In the process of constructing the self‐similar solution, we develop a large number of theoretical tools for these elliptic regions. These tools allow us to establish large‐data results rather than a small perturbation. We show that the wave pattern persists as long as the weak shock is supersonic‐supersonic; when this is no longer true, numerics show a physical change of behavior. In addition, we obtain rather detailed information about the elliptic region, including analyticity as well as bounds for velocity components and shock tangents. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Construction of Solutions and L^1-error Estimates of Viscous Methods for Scalar Conservation Laws with Boundary

This paper is concerned with an initial boundary value problem for strictly convex conservation laws whose weak entropy solution is in the piecewise smooth solution class consisting of finitely many discontinuities. By the structure of the weak entropy solution of the corresponding initial value problem and the boundary entropy condition developed by Bardos-Leroux Nedelec, we give a construction method to the weak entropy solution of the initial boundary value problem. Compared with the initial value problem, the weak entropy solution of the initial boundary value problem includes the following new interaction type： an expansion wave collides with the boundary and the boundary reflects a new shock wave which is tangent to the boundary. According to the structure and some global estimates of the weak entropy solution, we derive the global L^1-error estimate for viscous methods to this initial boundary value problem by using the matching travelling wave solutions method. If the inviscid solution includes the interaction that an expansion wave collides with the boundary and the boundary reflects a new shock wave which is tangent to the boundary, or the inviscid solution includes some shock wave which is tangent to the boundary, then the error of the viscosity solution to the inviscid solution is bounded by O（ε^1/2） in L^1-norm; otherwise, as in the initial value problem, the L^1-error bound is O（ε｜ In ε｜）.     

Interaction of three and four rarefaction waves of the pressure-gradient system

We study the two-dimensional pressure-gradient system, a subsystem of the two-dimensional compressible Euler system. We consider the problem of interaction of four rarefaction waves which is one case of two-dimensional Riemann problems. It is known that, when two planar waves interact, there exists a smooth solution in the interaction region. In this paper, we establish the existence of a smooth solution in the hyperbolic domain of determinacy, in which we encounter the interaction of simple and planar waves and shock prevention in simple waves.     

The flow of a combustible mixture with a Chapman–Jouguet detonation wave around a cone

The flow around a circular cone under conditions of Chapman–Jouguet (CJ) self-sustaining detonation is investigated in the classical formulation of an infinitely thin detonation wave (DW) in an inviscid and non-heat conducting combustible mixture. Such conditions for flow around a cone are remarkable in several respects. In 1959, Chernyi and Kvashnina had already shown that, for supersonic flows of a combustible mixture around a cone, CJ detonation, as in the case of a wedge, is not only possible for a strictly fixed cone angle (the “CJ” angle) but also for angles smaller than this (including a zero angle, that is, when there is no cone). In the case of flow around a wedge with an angle that is less than the corresponding CJ angle, a centred rarefaction wave that turns the supersonic flow in the required direction borders on the CJ DW. In the case of a cone, a conical rarefaction flow also borders on the CJ DW. However, if, in the plane case, a uniform supersonic flow adjoins the centred rarefaction wave along its boundary C⁺-characteristic then the conical rarefaction flow is bounded by a conical shock wave (SW), bordered up to the surface of the cone by a conical compression flow. Only for a zero cone angle does the SW degenerate into the C⁺-characteristic and the conical compression flow degenerates into a uniform supersonic flow. The configuration obtained in the general case became the first example of a self-similar solution with two SW of “one family” (the first of them is the DW) diverging from a single point. The results of calculations carried out in this paper with the construction of streamlines and the characteristics of the two families give a fairly complete representation of the above mentioned features of the flows considered.     

耗散等熵气体动力学方程组广义Riemann问题

The paper concerns with generalized Riemann problem for isentropic flow with dissipation, and show that if the similarity solution to Riemann problem is composed of a backward centered rarefaction wave and a forward centered rarefaction wave, then general-ized Riemann problem admits a unique global solution on t ≥ 0. This solution is composed of backward centered wave and a forward centered wave with the origin as their center and then continuous for t>0.
