Long-time behaviour of a one-dimensional BGK model: convergence to macroscopic rarefaction waves

For one-dimensional kinetic BGK models, regarded as relaxation models for scalar conservation laws with genuinely nonlinear fluxes, we prove that the macroscopic density converges to the rarefaction wave solution of the corresponding scalar conservation law in the long time limit, and that the phase space density approaches an equilibrium distribution with the rarefaction wave as macroscopic density. The proof requires a smallness assumption on the amplitude of the rarefaction waves and uses a micro-macro decomposition of the perturbation equation.     

DECAY RATES OF PLANAR VISCOUS RAREFACTION WAVE FOR MULTI-DIMENSIONAL SCALAR CONSERVATION LAW WITH DEGENERATE VISCOSITY ON HALF SPACE

We investigate the decay rates of the planar viscous rarefaction wave of the initial-boundary value problem to scalar conservation law with degenerate viscosity in several dimensions on the half-line space, where the corresponding one-dimensional problem admits the rarefaction wave as an asymptotic state. The analysis is based on the standard L2-energy method and L1-estimate.

Stability of rarefaction waves for the non-cutoff Vlasov–Poisson–Boltzmann system with physical boundary

In this paper, we are concerned with the Vlasov–Poisson–Boltzmann (VPB) system in three-dimensional spatial space without angular cutoff in a rectangular duct with or without physical boundary conditions. Near a local Maxwellian with macroscopic quantities given by rarefaction wave solution of one-dimensional compressible Euler equations, we establish the time-asymptotic stability of planar rarefaction wave solutions for the Cauchy problem to VPB system with periodic or specular-reflection boundary condition. In particular, we successfully introduce physical boundaries, namely, specular-reflection boundary, to the models describing wave patterns of kinetic equations. Moreover, we treat the non-cutoff collision kernel instead of the cutoff one. As a simplified model, we also consider the stability and large time behavior of the rarefaction wave solution for the Boltzmann equation.     

The Bifurcation Phenomenon for Scalar Conservation Laws with Discontinuous Flux Functions

This paper is devoted to study the bifurcation phenomenon for scalar conservation laws with flux functions involving discontinuous coefficients. In order to deal with it, the special Cauchy initial data are taken and the interactions of stationary wave discontinuities with shock waves and rarefaction waves are considered in detail. The global solutions of this special Cauchy problem are constructed completely when the bifurcation phenomena appear in their solutions.     

Implicit-explicit schemes for flow equations with stiff source terms

In this paper, we design stable and accurate numerical schemes for conservation laws with stiff source terms. A prime example and the main motivation for our study is the reactive Euler equations of gas dynamics. Furthermore, we consider widely studied scalar model equations. We device one-step IMEX (implicit-explicit) schemes for these equations that treats the convection terms explicitly and the source terms implicitly.For the non-linear scalar equation, we use a novel choice of initial data for the resulting Newton solver and obtain correct propagation speeds, even in the difficult case of rarefaction initial data. For the reactive Euler equations, we choose the numerical diffusion suitably in order to obtain correct wave speeds on under-resolved meshes.We prove that our implicit-explicit scheme converges in the scalar case and present a large number of numerical experiments to validate our scheme in both the scalar case as well as the case of reactive Euler equations.Furthermore, we discuss fundamental differences between the reactive Euler equations and the scalar model equation that must be accounted for when designing a scheme.     

Envelope and classification of global structures of solutions for a class of two-dimensional conservation laws

Two-dimensional Riemann problem for scalar conservation law are investigated and classification of global structure for its non-selfsimilar solution is given by analysis of structure and classification of envelope for non-selfsimilar 2D rarefaction wave. Initial data has two different constant states which are separated by initial discontinuity. We propose the concepts of plus envelope, minus envelope and mixed envelope, and some new structures and evolution phenomena are discovered by use of these concepts.     

Wave interactions and stability of the Riemann solutions for a scalar conservation law with a discontinuous flux function

This paper is devoted to studying the interactions of elementary waves for a model of a scalar conservation law with a flux function involving discontinuous coefficients. In order to cover all the situations completely, we take the initial data as three piecewise constant states and the middle region is regarded as the perturbed region with small distance. It is proved that the Riemann solutions are stable under the local small perturbations of the Riemann initial data by letting the perturbed parameter tend to zero. The proof is based on the detailed analysis of the interactions of stationary wave discontinuities with shock waves and rarefaction waves. Moreover, the global structures and large time asymptotic behaviors of the solutions are constructed and analyzed case by case.     

Stability of the planar rarefaction wave to two-dimensional Navier-Stokes-Korteweg equations of compressible fluids

This study is concerned with the large time behavior of the two-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes-Korteweg equations, which are used to model compressible fluids with internal capillarity. Based on the fact that the rarefaction wave, one of the basic wave patterns to the hyperbolic conservation laws is nonlinearly stable to the one-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes-Korteweg equations, the planar rarefaction wave to the two-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes-Korteweg equations is first derived. Then, it is shown that the planar rarefaction wave is asymptotically stable in the case that the initial data are suitably small perturbations of the planar rarefaction wave. The proof is based on the delicate energy method. This is the first stability result of the planar rarefaction wave to the multi-dimensional viscous fluids with internal capillarity.     

Stability of rarefaction wave for a macroscopic model derived from the Vlasov-Maxwell-Boltzmann system

In this article, we are concerned with the nonlinear stability of the rarefaction wave for a one-dimensional macroscopic model derived from the Vlasov-Maxwell-Boltzmann system. The result shows that the large-time behavior of the solutions coincides with the one for both the Navier-Stokes-Poisson system and the Navier-Stokes system. Both the time-decay property of the rarefaction wave profile and the influence of the electromagnetic field play a key role in the analysis.

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.     

Inflow problem for the one-dimensional compressible Navier–Stokes equations under large initial perturbation

This paper is concerned with the inflow problem for the one-dimensional compressible Navier–Stokes equations. For such a problem, Matsumura and Nishihara showed in [10] that there exists boundary layer solution to the inflow problem, and that both the boundary layer solution, the rarefaction wave, and the superposition of boundary layer solution and rarefaction wave are nonlinear stable under small initial perturbation. The main purpose of this paper is to show that similar stability results for the boundary layer solution and the supersonic rarefaction wave still hold for a class of large initial perturbation which can allow the initial density to have large oscillation. The proofs are given by an elementary energy method and the key point is to deduce the desired lower and upper bounds on the density function.     

A FLUID-PARTICLE MODEL WITH ELECTRIC FIELDS NEAR A LOCAL MAXWELLIAN WITH RAREFACTION WAVE

The paper is concerned with time-asymptotic behavior of solution near a local Maxwellian with rarefaction wave to a fluid-particle model described by the Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equation coupled with the compressible and inviscid fluid by Euler-Poisson equations through the relaxation drag frictions, Vlasov forces between the macroscopic and microscopic momentums and the electrostatic potential forces. Precisely, based on a new micro-macro decomposition around the local Maxwellian to the kinetic part of the fluid-particle coupled system, which was first developed in [16], we show the time-asymptotically nonlinear stability of rarefaction wave to the one-dimensional compressible inviscid Euler equations coupled with both the Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equation and Poisson equation.     

Convergence to rarefaction waves for the nonlinear Boltzmann equation and compressible Navier-Stokes equations

The main purpose of this paper is to study the asymptotic equivalence of the Boltzmann equation for the hard-sphere collision model to its corresponding Euler equations of compressible gas dynamics in the limit of small mean free path. When the fluid flow is a smooth rarefaction (or centered rarefaction) wave with finite strength, the corresponding Boltzmann solution exists globally in time, and the solution converges to the rarefaction wave uniformly for all time (or away from t=0) as ?→0. A decomposition of a Boltzmann solution into its macroscopic (fluid) part and microscopic (kinetic) part is adopted to rewrite the Boltzmann equation in a form of compressible Navier-Stokes equations with source terms. In this setting, the same asymptotic equivalence of the full compressible Navier-Stokes equations to its corresponding Euler equations in the limit of small viscosity and heat conductivity (depending on the viscosity) is also obtained.     

A non-parameterized entropy correction for Roe's approximate Riemann solver

Summary. The main drawback with Roe's approximate Riemann solver is that non-physical expansion shocks can occur in the vicinity of sonic points. Previous work aimed at enforcing the entropy condition is based on the representation of sonic rarefaction waves. We propose a new non-parameterized approach which is based on a nonlinear Hermite interpolation of an approximate flux function and the exact resolution of non convex scalar Riemann problems. Convergence and consistency with the entropy condition are proved for scalar convex conservation laws with arbitrarily large initial data. When considering strictly hyperbolic systems of conservation laws, consistency of the resulting scheme with the entropy condition is also proved for initial data sufficiently close to a constant. Numerical results on a one-dimensional shock-tube and a two-dimensional supersonic forward facing step confirm our theoretical results.

A composite semi-conservative scheme for hyperbolic conservation laws

In this work a first order accurate semi-conservative composite scheme is presented for hyperbolic conservation laws. The idea is to consider the non-conservative form of conservation law and utilize the explicit wave propagation direction to construct semi-conservative upwind scheme. This method captures the shock waves exactly with less numerical dissipation but generates unphysical rarefaction shocks in case of expansion waves with sonic points. It shows less dissipative nature of constructed scheme. In order to overcome it, we use the strategy of composite schemes. A very simple criteria based on wave speed direction is given to decide the iterations. The proposed method is applied to a variety of test problems and numerical results show accurate shock capturing and higher resolution for rarefaction fan.

On entropy weak solutions of Hughes’ model for pedestrian motion

We consider a generalized version of Hughes’ macroscopic model for crowd motion in the one-dimensional case. It consists in a scalar conservation law accounting for the conservation of the number of pedestrians, coupled with an eikonal equation giving the direction of the flux depending on pedestrian density. As a result of this non-trivial coupling, we have to deal with a conservation law with space–time discontinuous flux, whose discontinuity depends non-locally on the density itself. We propose a definition of entropy weak solution, which allows us to recover a maximum principle. Moreover, we study the structure of the solutions to Riemann-type problems, and we construct them explicitly for small times, depending on the choice of the running cost in the eikonal equation. In particular, aiming at the optimization of the evacuation time, we propose a strategy that is optimal in the case of high densities. All results are illustrated by numerical simulations.
