A free boundary problem of elliptic equation arising in supersonic flow past a conical body

We study free boundary value problems of elliptic equation caused by a supersonic flow past a non-symmetric conical body. The flow is described by the potential flow equation. In the self-similar coordinate system the problem can be reduced to a boundary value problem of second order nonlinear elliptic equation with a free boundary. Applying the partial hodograph transformation and the method of nonlinear alternative iteration we proved the existence of solution to this boundary value problem. Consequently, we also proved the conclusion that for the problem of supersonic flow past a conical body, if the conical body is slightly different from a circular cone with its vertex angle less than a given value determined by the parameters of the coming flow, then there exists a weak entropy solution with an attached conical shock.     

A singular multi-dimensional piston problem in compressible flow

This paper concerns the multi-dimensional piston problem, which is a special initial boundary value problem of multi-dimensional unsteady potential flow equation. The problem is defined in a domain bounded by two conical surfaces, one of them is shock, whose location is also to be determined. By introducing self-similar coordinates, the problem can be reduced to a free boundary value problem of an elliptic equation. The existence of the problem is proved by using partial hodograph transformation and nonlinear alternating iteration. The result also shows the stability of the structure of shock front in symmetric case under small perturbation.     

The self-similar expanding curve for the curvature flow equation

We study a two-point free boundary problem for the curvature flow equation. By studying the corresponding nonlinear initial value problem, we obtain the existence and uniqueness of the forward self-similar solution of this problem. The corresponding curve is called the self-similar expanding curve. We also derive the asymptotic stability of this curve.

     

Mach configuration in pseudo-stationary compressible flow

This paper is devoted to studying the local structure of Mach reflection, which occurs in the problem of the shock front hitting a ramp. The compressible flow is described by the full unsteady Euler system of gas dynamics. Because of the special geometry, the motion of the fluid can be described by self-similar coordinates, so that the unsteady flow becomes a pseudo-stationary flow in this coordinate system. When the slope of the ramp is less than a critical value, the Mach reflection occurs. The wave configuration in Mach reflection is composed of three shock fronts and a slip line bearing contact discontinuity. The local existence of a flow field with such a configuration under some assumptions is proved in this paper. Our result confirms the reasonableness of the corresponding physical observations and numerical computations in Mach reflection.

In order to prove the result, we formulate the problem to a free boundary value problem of a pseudo-stationary Euler system. In this problem two unknown shock fronts are the free boundary, and the slip line is also an unknown curve inside the flow field. The proof contains some crucial ingredients. The slip line will be transformed to a fixed straight line by a generalized Lagrange transformation. The whole free boundary value problem will be decomposed to a fixed boundary value problem of the Euler system and a problem to updating the location of the shock front. The Euler system in the subsonic region is an elliptic-hyperbolic composite system, which will be decoupled to the elliptic part and the hyperbolic part at the level of principal parts. Then some sophisticated estimates and a suitable iterative scheme are established. The proof leads to the existence and stability of the local structure of Mach reflection.

     

Exact self-similar solutions of the magnetohydrodynamic boundary layer system for power-law fluids

In a particular self-similar case, the magnetohydrodynamic boundary layer system for an electrically conducting power-law fluid together with certain boundary conditions can be transformed into a boundary value problem for a third-order nonlinear ordinary differential equation, only whose (generalized) normal solutions possess the physical meaning of the original problem. Uniqueness, existence and nonexistence results are established for the problem. Representations are also given for all (generalized) normal solutions. The project was supported by the Natural Science Foundation of Fujian Province of China (No. Z0511005) and NNSF of china(No. 10501037).     

Large-Time Behaviour of Solutions of the Exterior-Domain Cauchy–Dirichlet Problem for the Porous Media Equation with Homogeneous Boundary Data

The title of this paper states precisely what the subject is. The first part of the paper concerns the radially-symmetric problem in the exterior of the unit ball. It is shown that in time the solution of the problem converges to one of two specific self-similar solutions of the porous media equation, dependent upon the dimensionality of the problem. Moreover, the free boundary of the solution converges to that of the self-similar solution. The critical space dimension is two, for which there is no distinction between the self-similar solutions, and the form of the convergence is exceptional. The technique used is a comparison principle involving a variable that is a weighted integral of the solution. The second part of the paper is devoted to the problem in an arbitrary spatial domain with no conditions of symmetry. A special invariance principle and the results obtained for the radially-symmetric case are used to determine the large-time behaviour of solutions and their free boundaries. This behaviour is decidedly different from when the boundary data are fixed and not homogeneous.

A Global Solution to a Two-dimensional Riemann Problem Involving Shocks as Free Boundaries

We present a global solution to a Riemann problem for the pressure gradient system of equations.The Riemann problem has initially two shock waves and two contact discontinuities. The angle between the two shock waves is set initially to be close to 180 degrees. The solution has a shock wave that is usually regarded as a free boundary in the self-similar variable plane. Our main contribution in methodology is handling the tangential oblique derivative boundary values.     

Solvability of problems with degeneration: Imbibition of fluid in a porous medium

For a degenerate system of equations such as the equations of motion of immiscible fluids in porous media, we study the solvability of an initial–boundary value problem. Using the process of capillary imbibition of a wetting fluid as an example, we study a class of self-similar solutions with degeneration on the movable boundary and on the entry into the porous layer. The considered problem can be reduced to the analysis of properties of a nonlinear operator equation. For the classical solution of the original problem, we prove existence and uniqueness theorems.
