Global weak solutions to the Cauchy problem of compressible Navier–Stokes–Vlasov–Fokker–Planck equations

A fluid–particles system of the compressible Navier‐Stokes equations and Vlasov‐Fokker‐Planck equation (including the case of Vlasov equation) in three‐dimensional space is considered in this paper. The coupling arises from a drag force exerted by the fluid onto the particles. We study a Cauchy problem with large data, and establish the existence of global weak solutions through an approximation scheme, energy estimates, and weak convergence.

Global existence of the radially symmetric solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations for the isentropic compressible fluids

We study the isentropic compressible Navier–Stokes equations with radially symmetric data in an annular domain. We first prove the global existence and regularity results on the radially symmetric weak solutions with non‐negative bounded densities. Then we prove the global existence of radially symmetric strong solutions when the initial data ρ₀, u ₀ satisfy the compatibility condition for some radially symmetric g ∈ L². The initial density ρ₀ needs not be positive. We also prove some uniqueness results on the strong solutions. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A remark on free boundary problem of 1‐D compressible Navier–Stokes equations with density‐dependent viscosity

In this paper, we prove the existence and uniqueness of the weak solution of the one‐dimensional compressible Navier–Stokes equations with density‐dependent viscosity µ(ρ)=ρ^θ with θ∈(0, γ?2], γ>1. The initial data are a perturbation of a corresponding steady solution and continuously contact with vacuum on the free boundary. The obtained results apply for the one‐dimensional Siant–Venant model of shallow water and generalize ones in (Arch. Rational Mech. Anal. 2006; 182: 223–253).

Blow‐up of the smooth solutions to the compressible Navier–Stokes equations

In this paper, we will firstly extend the results about Jiu, Wang, and Xin (JDE, 2015, 259, 2981–3003). We prove that any smooth solution of compressible fluid will blow up without any restriction about the specific heat ratio γ. Then we prove the blow‐up of smooth solution of compressible Navier–Stokes equations in half space with Navier‐slip boundary. The main ideal is constructing the differential inequality.

Analysis of nonlocal model of compressible fluid in 1‐D

We study a nonlocal modification of the compressible Navier–Stokes equations in mono‐dimensional case with a boundary condition characteristic for the free boundaries problem. From the formal point of view, our system is an intermediate between the Euler and Navier–Stokes equations. Under certain assumptions, imposed on initial data and viscosity coefficient, we obtain the local and global existence of solutions. Particularly, we show the uniform in time bound on the density of fluid. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Global C∞‐solutions to 1D compressible Navier–Stokes equations with density‐dependent viscosity

In this paper, we consider the existence of global smooth solutions to 1D compressible isentropic Navier–Stokes equations with density‐dependent viscosity and free boundaries. The initial density ρ₀∈W^1,2n is bounded below away from zero and the initial velocity u₀∈L²ⁿ. The viscosity coefficient µ is proportional to ρ^θ with 0<θ?1, where ρis the density. The existence and uniqueness of global solutions in Hⁱ([0,1])(i = 1,2,4) have been established in (J. Math. Phys. 2009; 50 :023101; Meth. Appl. Anal. 2005; 12 :239–252; J. Differ. Equations 2008; 245:3956–3973; Commun. Pure Appl. Anal. 2008; 7 :373–381). By mathematical induction method, we will establish the existence of global smooth solutions to 1D compressible isentropic Navier–Stokes equations with density‐dependent viscosity and free boundaries when the initial data ρ₀ and u₀ are smooth.

A stability of the steady flow of compressible viscous fluid with respect to initial disturbance (v∞ ≠ 0)

We consider a compressible viscous fluid with the velocity at infinity equal to a strictly non‐zero constant vector in ?³. Under the assumptions on the smallness of the external force and velocity at infinity, Novotny–Padula (Math. Ann. 1997; 308 :439– 489) proved the existence and uniqueness of steady flow in the class of functions possessing some pointwise decay. In this paper, we study stability of the steady flow with respect to the initial disturbance. We proved that if H³‐norm of the initial disturbance is small enough, then the solution to the non‐stationary problem exists uniquely and globally in time, which satisfies a uniform estimate on prescribed velocity at infinity and converges to the steady flow in L_q‐norm for any number q? 2.

Asymptotic stability of stationary solutions to the compressible bipolar Navier–Stokes–Poisson equations

In this paper, we consider the compressible bipolar Navier–Stokes–Poisson equations with a non‐flat doping profile in three‐dimensional space. The existence and uniqueness of the non‐constant stationary solutions are established when the doping profile is a small perturbation of a positive constant state. Then under the smallness assumption of the initial perturbation, we show the global existence of smooth solutions to the Cauchy problem near the stationary state. Finally, the convergence rates are obtained by combining the energy estimates for the nonlinear system and the L²‐decay estimates for the linearized equations.

On the domain dependence of solutions to the Navier–Stokes equations of a two‐dimensional compressible flow

We consider the Navier–Stokes equations for compressible, barotropic flow in two space dimensions, with pressure satisfying p(?)=a?log^d(?) for large ?, here d>1 and a>0. After introducing useful tools from the theory of Orlicz spaces, we prove a compactness result for the solution set of the equations with respect to the variation of the underlying bounded spatial domain. Especially, we get a general existence theorem for the system in question with no restrictions on smoothness of the bounded spatial domain. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Remark on stability of rarefaction waves to the one‐dimensional compressible Navier–Stokes equations with density‐dependent viscosity coefficient

Global existence of weak solution to Navier–Stokes equations with large external force and general pressure

We study the 3‐D compressible Navier–Stokes equations with an external potential force and a general pressure. We prove the global‐in‐time existence of weak solutions with small‐energy initial data and with densities being positive and essentially bounded. No smallness assumption is made on the external force. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Existence of finite energy weak solutions for the equations MHD of compressible fluids

This article concerns the existence of global weak solutions for a compressible Magnetohydrodynamic model. We assume the viscosity and the resistivity to be constant and we prove that Feireisl and Lions's strategies dedicated to the usual barotropic compressible flows may be extended to our system. The only difficulty to be taken into account is the magnetic field dependency. The case with density-dependent viscosity and resistivity coefficients will be treated in a forthcoming paper following Bresch and Desjardins's strategy.     

Existence of a weak solution to the Navier–Stokes equation in a general time‐varying domain by the Rothe method

We assume that Ω^t is a domain in ?³, arbitrarily (but continuously) varying for 0?t?T. We impose no conditions on smoothness or shape of Ω^t. We prove the global in time existence of a weak solution of the Navier–Stokes equation with Dirichlet's homogeneous or inhomogeneous boundary condition in Q_{[0, T)} := {( x , t);0?t?T, x ∈Ω^t}. The solution satisfies the energy‐type inequality and is weakly continuous in dependence of time in a certain sense. As particular examples, we consider flows around rotating bodies and around a body striking a rigid wall. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Global weak solutions to a class of compressible non-Newtonian fluids with vacuum

The global weak solution of an initial-boundary value problem for a compressible non-Newtonian fluid is studied in a three-dimensional bounded domain. By the techniques of artificial pressure, a solution to the initial-boundary value problem is constructed through an approximation scheme and a weak convergence method. The existence of a global weak solution to the three-dimensional compressible non-Newtonian fluid with vacuum and large data is established.

Classical solutions to Navier–Stokes equations for nonhomogeneous incompressible fluids with non-negative densities

We study the Navier–Stokes equations for nonhomogeneous incompressible fluids in a bounded domain Ω of R³. We first prove the existence and uniqueness of local classical solutions to the initial boundary value problem of linear Stokes equations and then we obtain the existence and uniqueness of local classical solutions to the Navier–Stokes equations with vacuum under the assumption that the data satisfies a natural compatibility condition.     

Global existence of classical solutions to two‐dimensional Navier–Stokes equations with Cauchy data containing vacuum

In this paper, the Cauchy problem to the two‐dimensional isentropic compressible Navier–Stokes equations with smooth initial data containing vacuum is investigated. If the initial data are of small energy but possibly large oscillations, we obtain the global well‐posedness of classical solutions in the case of initially nonvacuum far fields. In particular, the smallness of the energy only depends on the norm of the initial velocity, where β can be arbitrary close to 0. In the case of compactly supported initial density, a blow‐up example is given. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Steady compressible Navier–Stokes equations in domains with non‐compact boundaries

We consider the steady compressible Navier–Stokes equations of isentropic flow in three‐dimensional domains with several exits to infinity with prescribed pressure drops. On the one hand, when each exit is supposed to contain a cone inside, we shall construct bounded energy weak solution for adiabatic constant γ>3. On the other hand, when the exits do not open sufficiently rapidly, we shall prove a non‐existence result. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Two‐dimensional stationary Navier–Stokes equations with 4‐cyclic symmetry

This paper is concerned with the stationary Navier–Stokes equation in the whole plane and in the two–dimensional exterior domain invariant under the action of the cyclic group of order 4, and gives a condition on the potentials yielding the external force, and on the boundary value, sufficient for the unique existence of a small solution equivariant with respect to the aforementioned cyclic group.     

Existence and exponential stability in Lr‐spaces of stationary Navier–Stokes flows with prescribed flux in infinite cylindrical domains

We prove existence, uniqueness and exponential stability of stationary Navier–Stokes flows with prescribed flux in an unbounded cylinder of ?ⁿ,n?3, with several exits to infinity provided the total flux and external force are sufficiently small. The proofs are based on analytic semigroup theory, perturbation theory and L^r ? L^q‐estimates of a perturbation of the Stokes operator in L^q‐spaces. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
