Weak solutions for a hyperbolic system with unilateral constraint and mass loss

We consider isentropic gas dynamics equations with unilateral constraint on the density and mass loss. The γ and pressureless pressure laws are considered. We propose an entropy weak formulation of the system that incorporates the constraint and Lagrange multiplier, for which we prove weak stability and existence of solutions. The nonzero pressure model is approximated by a kinetic BGK relaxation model, while the pressureless model is approximated by a sticky-blocks dynamics with mass loss.     

Inviscid Limit for Scalar Viscous Conservation Laws in Presence of Strong Shocks and Boundary Layers

In this paper, we study the inviscid limit problem for the scalar viscous conservation laws on half plane. We prove that if the solution of the corresponding inviscid equation on half plane is piecewise smooth with a single shock satisfying the entropy condition, then there exist solutions to the viscous conservation laws which converge to the inviscid solution away fromthe shock discontinuity and the boundary at a rate of ε^1 as the viscosity ε tends to zero.     

Multi‐dimensional conservation laws and integrable systems

In this paper, we introduce a new property of two‐dimensional integrable hydrodynamic chains—existence of infinitely many local three‐dimensional conservation laws for pairs of integrable two‐dimensional commuting flows. Infinitely many local three‐dimensional conservation laws for the Benney commuting hydrodynamic chains are constructed. As a by‐product, we established a new method for computation of local conservation laws for three‐dimensional integrable systems. The Mikhalëv equation and the dispersionless limit of the Kadomtsev‐Petviashvili equation are investigated. All known local and infinitely many new quasilocal three‐dimensional conservation laws are presented. Also four‐dimensional conservation laws are considered for couples of three‐dimensional integrable quasilinear systems and for triplets of corresponding hydrodynamic chains.     

General phase transition models for vehicular traffic with point constraints on the flow

In this paper, we present a general phase transition model that describes the evolution of vehicular traffic along a one‐lane road. Two different phases are taken into account, according to whether the traffic is low or heavy. The model is given by a scalar conservation law in the free‐flow phase and by a system of 2 conservation laws in the congested phase. The free‐flow phase is described by a one‐dimensional fundamental diagram corresponding to a Newell‐Daganzo type flux. The congestion phase is described by a two‐dimensional fundamental diagram obtained by perturbing a general fundamental flux. In particular, we study the resulting Riemann problems in the case a local point constraint on the flow of the solutions is enforced.     

Conservation laws of turbulence models

The conservation of mass, momentum, energy, helicity, and enstrophy in fluid flow are important because these quantities organize a flow, and characterize change in the flow's structure over time. In turbulent flow, conservation laws remain important in the inertial range of wave numbers, where viscous effects are negligible. It is in the inertial range where energy, helicity (3d), and enstrophy (2d) must be accurately cascaded for a turbulence model to be qualitatively correct. A first and necessary step for an accurate cascade is conservation; however, many turbulent flow simulations are based on turbulence models whose conservation properties are little explored and might be very different from those of the Navier-Stokes equations.We explore conservation laws and approximate conservation laws satisfied by LES turbulence models. For the Leray, Leray deconvolution, Bardina, and Nth order deconvolution models, we give exact or approximate laws for a model mass, momentum, energy, enstrophy and helicity. The possibility of cascades for model quantities is also discussed.     

Numerical Solution of a Scalar One-Dimensional Monotonicity-Preserving Nonlocal Nonlinear Conservation Law

In this paper, we present numerical studies of a recently proposed scalar nonlocal nonlinear conservation law in one space dimension. The nonlocal model accounts for nonlocal interactions over a finite horizon and enjoys maximum principle, monotonicity-preserving and entropy condition on the continuum level. Moreover, it has a well-defined local limit given by a conventional local conservation laws in the form of partial differential equations. We discuss convergent numerical approximations that preserve similar properties on the discrete level. We also present numerical experiments to study various limiting behavior of the numerical solutions.     

Non‐selfsimilar global solutions to a two‐dimensional system of conservation laws

This paper considers the two‐dimensional Riemann problem for a system of conservation laws that models the polymer flooding in an oil reservoir. The initial data are two different constant states separated by a smooth curve. By virtue of a nonlinear coordinate transformation, this problem is converted into another simple one. We then analyze rigorously the expressions of elementary waves. Based on these preparations, we obtain respectively four kinds of non‐selfsimilar global solutions and their corresponding criteria. It is shown that the intermediate state between two elementary waves is no longer a constant state and that the expression of the rarefaction wave is obtained by constructing an inverse function. These are distinctive features of the non‐selfsimilar global solutions. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A basis of hierarchy of generalized symmetries and their conservation laws for the (3+1)-dimensional diffusion equation

We determine, by hierarchy, dependencies between higher order linear symmetries which occur when generating them using recursion operators. Thus, we deduce a formula which gives the number of independent generalized symmetries (basis) of several orders. We construct a basis for conservation laws (with respect to the group admitted by the system of differential equations) and hence generate infinitely many conservation laws in each equivalence class.     

Conservation laws for laminar axisymmetric jet flows with weak swirl

The conservation laws for laminar axisymmetric jet flows with weak swirl are studied here. The multiplier approach is used to derive the conservation laws for the system of three boundary layer equations for the velocity components governing flow in laminar axisymmetric jet flows with weak swirl. Conservation laws for the system of two partial differential equations for the stream function are also derived.     

Formulation of the problem of sonic boom by a maneuvering aerofoil as a one-parameter family of Cauchy problems

For the structure of a sonic boom produced by a simple aerofoil at a large distance from its source we take a physical model which consists of a leading shock (LS), a trailing shock (TS) and a one-parameter family of nonlinear wavefronts in between the two shocks. Then we develop a mathematical model and show that according to this model the LS is governed by a hyperbolic system of equations in conservation form and the system of equations governing the TS has a pair of complex eigenvalues. Similarly, we show that a nonlinear wavefront originating from a point on the front part of the aerofoil is governed by a hyperbolic system of conservation laws and that originating from a point on the rear part is governed by a system of conservation laws, which is elliptic. Consequently, we expect the geometry of the TS to be kink-free and topologically different from the geometry of the LS. In the last section we point out an evidence of kinks on the LS and kink-free TS from the numerical solution of the Euler’s equations by Inoue, Sakai and Nishida [5].     

Essential Conservation Laws for Equations with Infinite Symmetries

We consider partial differential equations of variational problems with infinite symmetry groups. We study local conservation laws associated with arbitrary functions of one variable in the group generators. We show that only symmetries with arbitrary functions of dependent variables lead to an infinite number of conservation laws. We also calculate local conservation laws for the potential Zabolotskaya-Khokhlov equation for one of its infinite subgroups.__________Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 144, No. 1, pp. 190–198, July, 2005.     

Convergence of relaxation schemes for conservation laws

We study the stability and the convergence for a class of relaxing numerical schemes for conservation laws. Following the approach recently proposed by S. Jin and Z. Xin we use a semilinear local relaxation approximation, with a stiff lower order term, and we construct some numerical first and second order accurate algorithms, which are uniformly bounded in the L^∞ and BV norms with respect to the relaxation parameter. The relaxation limit is also investigated.

Stationary measures and hydrodynamics of zero range processes with several species of particles

We study general zero range processes with different types of particles on a d-dimensional lattice with periodic boundary conditions. A necessary and sufficient condition on the jump rates for the existence of stationary product measures is established. For translation invariant jump rates we prove the hydrodynamic limit on the Euler scale using Yaus relative entropy method. The limit equation is a system of conservation laws, which is hyperbolic and has a globally convex entropy. We analyze this system in terms of entropy variables. In addition we obtain stationary density profiles for open boundaries.     

Periodic and almost periodic solutions of conservation laws: Global existence and decay

In this paper we survey recent results on the decay of periodic and almost periodic solutions of conservation laws. We also recall some recent results on the global existence of periodic solutions of conservation laws systems which lie inBV _loc and are constructed through Glimm scheme. The latter motivates a discussion on a possible strategy for solving the open problem of the global existence of periodic solutions of the Euler equations for nonisentropic gas dynamics. We base our decay analysis on a general result about space-time functions which are almost periodic in the space variable, established here for the first time. This result is an abstract version of Theorem 2.1 in [31], which in turn is an extention of the combined result given by Theorems 3.1–3.2 in [9].     

Local conservation laws,symmetries, and exact solutions for a Kudryashov‐Sinelshchikov equation

In this paper, we consider a Kudryashov‐Sinelshchikov equation that describes pressure waves in a mixture of a liquid and gas bubbles taking into consideration the viscosity of liquid and the heat transfer between liquid and gas bubbles. We show that this equation is rich in conservation laws. These conservation laws have been found by using the direct method of the multipliers. We apply the Lie group method to derive the symmetries of this equation. Then, by using the optimal system of 1‐dimensional subalgebras we reduce the equation to ordinary differential equations. Finally, some exact wave solutions are obtained by applying the simplest equation method.     

Complete classification of local conservation laws for generalized Cahn–Hilliard–Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation

In this paper, we consider nonlinear multidimensional Cahn–Hilliard and Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equations that have many important applications in physics and chemistry, and a certain natural generalization of these two equations to which we refer to as the generalized Cahn–Hilliard–Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation. For an arbitrary number of spatial independent variables, we present a complete list of cases when the latter equation admits nontrivial local conservation laws of any order, and for each of those cases, we give an explicit form of all the local conservation laws of all orders modulo trivial ones admitted by the equation under study. In particular, we show that the original Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation admits no nontrivial local conservation laws, and find all nontrivial local conservation laws for the Cahn–Hilliard equation.     

Rigorous estimates on mechanical balance laws in the Boussinesq–Peregrine equations

It is shown that the Boussinesq–Peregrine system, which describes long waves of small amplitude at the surface of an inviscid fluid with variable depth, admits a number of approximate conservation equations. Notably, this paper provides accurate estimations for the approximate conservation of the mechanical balance laws associated with mass, momentum, and energy. These precise estimates offer valuable insights into the behavior and dynamics of the system, shedding light on the conservation principles governing the wave motion.     

Boundary layer to a system of viscous hyperbolic conservation laws

In this paper, we investigate the large-time behavior of solutions to the initial-boundary value problem for n × n hyperbolic system of conservation laws with artificial viscosity in the half line （0, ∞）. We first show that a boundary layer exists if the corresponding hyperbolic part contains at least one characteristic field with negative propagation speed. We further show that such boundary layer is nonlinearly stable under small initial perturbation. The proofs are given by an elementary energy method.
