Blow-up of smooth solutions to the compressible magnetohydrodynamic flows

In this paper, we prove the blow-up phenomena of smooth solutions to the Cauchy problem for the full compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations and isentropic compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations with constant and degenerate viscosities under some restrictions on the initial data. In particular, our results do not require that the initial data have compact support or contain vacuum in any finite region.     

A blow-up criterion for two dimensional compressible viscous heat-conductive flows

We establish a blow-up criterion in terms of the upper bound of the density and temperature for the strong solution to 2D compressible viscous heat-conductive flows. The initial vacuum is allowed.

On regularity criterion to the 3D axisymmetric incompressible MHD equations

This paper is concerned with the regularity criterion for a class of axisymmetric solutions to 3D incompressible magnetohydrodynamic equations. More precisely, for the solutions that have the form of u = u_re_r+u_θe_θ+u_ze_z and b = b_θe_θ, we prove that if |ru(x,t)|≤C holds for ?1≤t < 0, then (u,b) is regular at time zero. This result can be thought as a generalization of recent results in for the 3D incompressible Navier‐Stokes equations. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Strong solutions to 3D compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations with Navier‐slip condition

We consider the short time strong solutions to the compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations with initial vacuum, in which the velocity field satisfies the Navier‐slip condition. The Navier‐slip condition differs in many aspects from no‐slip conditions, and it has attracted considerable attention in nanoscale and microscale flows research. Inspired by Kato and Lax's idea, we use the Lax–Milgram theorem and contraction mapping argument to prove local existence. Moreover, under the Navier‐slip condition, we establish a criterion for possible breakdown of such solutions at finite time in terms of the temporal integral of L^∞ norm of the deformation tensor D(u).

Blow-up criterion for three-dimensional compressible viscoelastic fluids with vacuum

In this paper, we study a Cauchy problem for the equations of 3D compressible viscoelastic fluids with vacuum. We establish a blow-up criterion for the local strong solutions in terms of the upper bound of the density and deformation gradient.     

Blow-up and global solutions for nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations with nonlinear boundary condition

This paper deals with the blow-up of positive solutions for a nonlinear reaction-diffusion equation subject to nonlinear boundary conditions. We obtain the conditions under which the solutions may exist globally or blow up in finite time. Moreover, an upper bound of the blow-up time, an upper estimate of the blow-up rate, and an upper estimate of the global solutions are given. At last we give two examples to which the theorems obtained in the paper may be applied.     

Blow-up of smooth solutions to the compressible fluid models of Korteweg type

We show the blow-up of smooth solutions to a non-isothermal model of capillary compressible fluids in arbitrary space dimensions with initial density of compact support. This is an extension of Xin’s result [Xin, Z.: Blow-up of smooth solutions to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations with compact density. Comm. Pure Appl. Math., 51, 229–240 (1998)] to the capillary case but we do not need the condition that the entropy is bounded below. Moreover, from the proof of Theorem 1.2, we also obtain the exact relationship between the size of support of the initial density and the life span of the solutions. We also present a sufficient condition on the blow-up of smooth solutions to the compressible fluid models of Korteweg type when the initial density is positive but has a decay at infinity.     

Blow-up of viscous heat-conducting compressible flows

We show the blow-up of strong solution of viscous heat-conducting flow when the initial density is compactly supported. This is an extension of Z. Xin's result [Z. Xin, Blow up of smooth solutions to the compressible Navier–Stokes equations with compact density, Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 51 (1998) 229–240] to the case of positive heat conduction coefficient but we do not need any information for the time decay of total pressure nor the lower bound of the entropy. We control the lower bound of second moment by total energy and obtain the exact relationship between the size of support of initial density and the existence time. We also provide a sufficient condition for the blow-up in case that the initial density is positive but has a decay at infinity.     

A blow-up criterion for classical solutions to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations

In this paper, we obtain a blow-up criterion for classical solutions to the 3-D compressible Navier-Stokes equations just in terms of the gradient of the velocity, analogous to the Beal-Kato-Majda criterion for the ideal incompressible flow. In addition, the initial vacuum is allowed in our case.     

A new blow-up criterion for the 2D full compressible Navier–Stokes equations without heat conduction in a bounded domain

This paper is to derive a new blow-up criterion for the 2D full compressible Navier–Stokes equations without heat conduction in terms of the density $\rho$ and the pressure $P$. More precisely, it indicates that in a bounded domain the strong solution exists globally if the norm $\left|\right|\rho {\left|\right|}_{L^{\infty }(0,t;L^{\infty })}+\left|\right|P{\left|\right|}_{L^{p_0}(0,t;L^{\infty })}<\infty$ for some constant  $p_0$ satisfying $1<p_0\le 2$. The boundary condition is imposed as a Navier-slip boundary one and the initial vacuum is permitted. Our result extends previous one which is stated as $\left|\right|\rho {\left|\right|}_{L^{\infty }(0,t;L^{\infty })}+\left|\right|P{\left|\right|}_{L^{\infty }(0,t;L^{\infty })}<\infty$.     

Blow-up phenomena for a family of Burgers-like equations

By introducing a stress multiplier we derive a family of Burgers-like equations. We investigate the blow-up phenomena of the equations both on the real line R and on the circle S to get a comparison with the Degasperis-Procesi equation. On the line R, we first establish the local well-posedness and the blow-up scenario. Then we use conservation laws of the equations to get the estimate for the L^∞-norm of the strong solutions, by which we prove that the solutions to the equations may blow up in the form of wave breaking for certain initial profiles. Analogous results are provided in the periodic case. Especially, we find differences between the Burgers-like equations and the Degasperis-Procesi equation, see Remark 4.1.     

Global well-posedness of the non-isentropic full compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations

In this paper, we are concerned with Cauchy problem for the multi-dimensional (N ≥ 3) non-isentropic full compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations. We prove the existence and uniqueness of a global strong solution to the system for the initial data close to a stable equilibrium state in critical Besov spaces. Our method is mainly based on the uniform estimates in Besov spaces for the proper linearized system with convective terms.     

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.     

Global helically symmetric solutions to 3D MHD equations

We prove the existence and uniqueness of global strong solutions to the Cauchy problem of the three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic equations in R3 when initial data are helically symmetric. Moreover, the large-time behavior of the strong solutions is obtained simultaneously.     

Blow-up in nonlinear heat equations

We study the blow-up of solutions of nonlinear heat equations in dimension 1. We show that for an open set of even initial data which are characterized roughly by having maxima at the origin, the solutions blow up in finite time and at a single point. We find the universal blow-up profile and remainder estimates. Our results extend previous results in several directions and our techniques differ from the techniques previously used for this problem. In particular, they do not rely on maximum principle.
