Asymptotic Behavior of Compressible Navier-Stokes Equations with Density-Dependent Viscosity and Vacuum

In this paper, we study the one-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations connecting to vacuum state with a jump in density when the viscosity depends on the density. Precisely, when the viscosity coefficient μ(ρ) is proportional to ρ ^θ with θ > 0, where ρ is the density, we give the asymptotic behavior and the decay rate of the density function ρ(x, t). Furthermore, the behavior of the density function ρ(x, t) near the interfaces separating the gas from vacuum and the expanding rate of the interfaces are also studied. The analysis is based on some new mathematical techniques and some new useful estimates. This fills a final gap on studying Navier-Stokes equations with the viscosity coefficient μ(ρ) dependent on the density ρ.

On Blowup of Classical Solutions to the Compressible Navier-Stokes Equations

In this paper, we study the finite time blow up of smooth solutions to the Compressible Navier-Stokes system when the initial data contain vacuums. We prove that any classical solutions of viscous compressible fluids without heat conduction will blow up in finite time, as long as the initial data has an isolated mass group (see Definition 2.2). The results hold regardless of either the size of the initial data or the far fields being vacuum or not. This improves the blowup results of Xin (Comm Pure Appl Math 51:229–240, 1998) by removing the crucial assumptions that the initial density has compact support and the smooth solution has finite total energy. Furthermore, the analysis here also yields that any classical solutions of viscous compressible fluids without heat conduction in bounded domains or periodic domains will blow up in finite time, if the initial data have an isolated mass group satisfying some suitable conditions.     

Lagrange Structure and Dynamics for Solutions to the Spherically Symmetric Compressible Navier-Stokes Equations

The compressible Navier-Stokes system (CNS) with density-dependent viscosity coefficients is considered in multi-dimension, the prototype of the system is the viscous Saint-Venat model for the motion of shallow water. A spherically symmetric weak solution to the free boundary value problem for CNS with stress free boundary condition and arbitrarily large data is shown to exist globally in time with the free boundary separating fluids and vacuum and propagating at finite speed as particle path, which is continuous away from the symmetry center. Detailed regularity and Lagrangian structure of this solution have been obtained. In particular, it is shown that the particle path is uniquely defined starting from any non-vacuum region away from the symmetry center, along which vacuum states shall not form in any finite time and the initial regularities of the solution is preserved. Starting from any non-vacuum point at a later-on time, a particle path is also uniquely defined backward in time, which either reaches at some initial non-vacuum point, or stops at a small middle time and connects continuously with vacuum. In addition, the free boundary is shown to expand outward at an algebraic rate in time, and the fluid density decays and tends to zero almost everywhere away from the symmetry center as the time grows up. This finally leads to the formation of vacuum state almost everywhere as the time goes to infinity.     

Vanishing of Vacuum States and Blow-up Phenomena of the Compressible Navier-Stokes Equations

The Navier-Stokes systems for compressible fluids with density-dependent viscosities are considered in the present paper. These equations, in particular, include the ones which are rigorously derived recently as the Saint-Venant system for the motion of shallow water, from the Navier-Stokes system for incompressible flows with a moving free surface [14]. These compressible systems are degenerate when vacuum state appears. We study initial-boundary-value problems for such systems for both bounded spatial domains or periodic domains. The dynamics of weak solutions and vacuum states are investigated rigorously. First, it is proved that the entropy weak solutions for general large initial data satisfying finite initial entropy exist globally in time. Next, for more regular initial data, there is a global entropy weak solution which is unique and regular with well-defined velocity field for short time, and the interface of initial vacuum propagates along the particle path during this time period. Then, it is shown that for any global entropy weak solution, any (possibly existing) vacuum state must vanish within finite time. The velocity (even if regular enough and well-defined) blows up in finite time as the vacuum states vanish. Furthermore, after the vanishing of vacuum states, the global entropy weak solution becomes a strong solution and tends to the non-vacuum equilibrium state exponentially in time.

Recovering Navier–Stokes Equations from Asymptotic Limits of the Boltzmann Gas Mixture Equation

This paper is devoted to the derivation of macroscopic fluid dynamics from the Boltzmann mesoscopic dynamics of a binary mixture of hard-sphere gas particles.Specifically the hydrodynamics limit is performed by employing different time and space scalings.The paper shows that,depending on the magnitude of the parameters which define the scaling,the macroscopic quantities(number density,mean velocity and local temperature)are solutions of the acoustic equation,the linear incompressible Euler equation and the incompressible Navier–Stokes equation.The derivation is formally tackled by the recent moment method proposed by[C.Bardos,et al.,J.Stat.Phys.63(1991)323]and the results generalize the analysis performed in[C.Bianca,et al.,Commun.Nonlinear Sci.Numer.Simulat.29(2015)240].

Asymptotic Stability of the Stationary Solution to the Compressible Navier–Stokes Equations in the Half Space

We investigate the existence and the asymptotic stability of a stationary solution to the initial boundary value problem for the compressible Navier–Stokes equation in a half space. The main concern is to analyze the phenomena that happens when the fluid blows out through the boundary. Thus, it is natural to consider the problem in the Eulerian coordinate. We have obtained the two results for this problem. The first result is concerning the existence of the stationary solution. We present the necessary and sufficient condition which ensures the existence of the stationary solution. Then it is shown that the stationary solution is time asymptotically stable if an initial perturbation is small in the suitable Sobolev space. The second result is proved by using an L²-energy method with the aid of the Poincaré type inequality.The second author's work was supported in part by Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C)(2) 14540200 of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and the third author's work was supported by JSPS postdoctoral fellowship under P99217.     

Stability of a Composite Wave of Two Viscous Shock Waves for the Full Compressible Navier-Stokes Equation

In this paper we investigate the asymptotic stability of a composite wave consisting of two viscous shock waves for the full compressible Navier-Stokes equation. By introducing a new linear diffusion wave special to this case, we successfully prove that if the strengths of the viscous shock waves are suitably small with same order and also the initial perturbations which are not necessarily of zero integral are suitably small, the unique global solution in time to the full compressible Navier-Stokes equation exists and asymptotically tends toward the corresponding composite wave whose shifts (in space) of two viscous shock waves are uniquely determined by the initial perturbations. We then apply the idea to study a half space problem for the full compressible Navier-Stokes equation and obtain a similar result.

Asymptotic Behavior for the Liouville Equations

A new proof of the diffusion approximation for ordinary differential equations is given. It is based on an asymptotic expansion of the solution of the corresponding Liouville partial differential equations. In contrast to previous results obtained for the suspension under Holderian mappings of subshift of finite type or Fourier analysis techniques, our proof relies only on symbolic dynamics.     

Local RBFs Based Collocation Methods for Unsteady Navier-Stokes Equations

The local RBFs based collocation methods (LRBFCM) is presented to solve two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. In avoiding the ill-conditioned problem, the weight coefficients of linear combination with respect to the function values and its derivatives can be obtained by solving low-order linear systems within local supporting domain. Then, we reformulate local matrix in the global and sparse matrix. The obtained large sparse linear systems can be directly solved instead of using more complicated iterative method. The numerical experiments have shown that the developed LRBFCM is suitable for solving the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with high accuracy and efficiency.

Two-Level Stabilized Finite Volume Methods for the Stationary Navier-Stokes Equations

In this work, two-level stabilized finite volume formulations for the 2D steady Navier-Stokes equations are considered. These methods are based on the local Gauss integration technique and the lowest equal-order finite element pair. Moreover, the two-level stabilized finite volume methods involve solving one small Navier-Stokes problem on a coarse mesh with mesh size $H$, a large general Stokes problem for the Simple and Oseen two-level stabilized finite volume methods on the fine mesh with mesh size $h$=$\mathcal{O}(H^2)$ or a large general Stokes equations for the Newton two-level stabilized finite volume method on a fine mesh with mesh size $h$=$\mathcal{O}(|\log h|^{1/2}H^3)$. These methods we studied provide an approximate solution $(\widetilde{u}_h^v,\widetilde{p}_h^v)$ with the convergence rate of same order as the standard stabilized finite volume method, which involve solving one large nonlinear problem on a fine mesh with mesh size $h$. Hence, our methods can save a large amount of computational time.
