Vortical and self-similar flows of 2D compressible Euler equations

This paper presents the vortical and self-similar solutions for 2D compressible Euler equations using the separation method. These solutions complement Makino’s solutions in radial symmetry without rotation. The rotational solutions provide new information that furthers our understanding of ocean vortices and reference examples for numerical methods. In addition, the corresponding blowup, time-periodic or global existence conditions are classified through an analysis of the new Emden equation. A conjecture regarding rotational solutions in 3D is also made.     

Blowup phenomena of solutions to the Euler equations for compressible fluid flow

The blowup phenomena of solutions is investigated for the Euler equations of compressible fluid flow. The approach is to construct special explicit solutions with spherical symmetry to study certain blowup behavior of multi-dimensional solutions. In particular, the special solutions with velocity of the form c(t)x are constructed to show the expanding and blowup properties. The solution with velocity of the form for γ?1 and for any space dimensions is obtained as a corollary. Another conclusion is that there is only trivial solution with velocity of the form c(t)|x|^α-1x for α≠1 and multi-space dimensions.

Inflow-outflow problems for Euler equations in a rectangular cylinder

We prove that some inflow-outflow problems for the Euler equations in a (nonsmooth) bounded cylinder admit a regular solution. The problems considered are symmetric hyperbolic systems with partly characteristic and partly noncharacteristic boundary; for such problems, no general theory is available. Therefore, we introduce particular spaces of functions satisfying suitable additional boundary conditions which allow to determine a regular solution by means of a "reflection technique'.

Zero dissipation limit to strong contact discontinuity for the 1-D compressible Navier-Stokes equations

In this paper, we study the zero dissipation limit problem for the one-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations. We prove that if the solution of the inviscid Euler equations is piecewise constants with a contact discontinuity, then there exist smooth solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations which converge to the inviscid solution away from the contact discontinuity at a rate of as the heat-conductivity coefficient κ tends to zero, provided that the viscosity μ is of higher order than the heat-conductivity κ. Without loss of generality, we set μ≡0. Here we have no need to restrict the strength of the contact discontinuity to be small.     

A note on barotropic compressible quantum Navier-Stokes equations

The global-in-time existence of weak solutions to the barotropic compressible quantum Navier-Stokes equations has been proved very recently, by Jüngel (2009) [1], if the viscosity constant is smaller than the scaled Plank constant. This paper extends the results to the case that the viscosity constant equals the scaled Plank constant. By using a new estimate on the square root of the solution, apparently not available in [1], the semiclassical limit for the viscous quantum Euler equations (which are equivalent to the barotropic compressible quantum Navier-Stokes equations) can be performed; then the results of this paper are obtained easily.     

Existence and stability of planar diffusion waves for 2-D Euler equations with damping

To study the non-linear stability of a non-trivial profile for a multi-dimensional systems of gas dynamics, the combination of the Green function on estimating the lower order derivatives and the energy method for the higher order derivatives is shown to be not only useful but sometimes maybe also essential. In this paper, we study the stability of a planar diffusion wave for the isentropic Euler equations with damping in two-dimensional space. By introducing an approximate Green function for the linearized equations around the planar diffusion wave and by applying the energy method, we prove the global existence and the L₂ convergence rate of the solution when the initial data is a small perturbation of the planar diffusion wave. The decay rates of the perturbation and its lower order spatial derivatives obtained are optimal in the L₂ norm. Furthermore, the constructed approximate Green function in this paper can be used for the pointwise and the Lp estimates of the solutions concerned. In fact, the approach by combining of the Green function and energy method can be applied to other system especially when the derivatives of the coefficients in the system have certain time decay properties.     

Quasineutral limit of the two-fluid Euler–Poisson system in a bounded domain of R3

The quasineutral limit of the two-fluid Euler–Poisson system (one for ions and another for electrons) in a bounded domain of ${\mathbb{R}}^3$ is rigorously proved by investigating the existence and the stability of boundary layers. The non-penetration boundary condition for velocities and Dirichlet boundary condition for electric potential are considered.     

On a regularization of the compressible Euler equations for an isothermal gas

We consider a Leray-type regularization of the compressible Euler equations for an isothermal gas. The regularized system depends on a small parameter α>0. Using Riemann invariants, we prove the existence of smooth solutions for the regularized system for every α>0. The regularization mechanism is a non-linear bending of characteristics that prevents their finite-time crossing. We prove that, in the α→0 limit, the regularized solutions converge strongly. However, based on our analysis and numerical simulations, the limit is not the unique entropy solution of the Euler equations. The numerical method used to support this claim is derived from the Riemann invariants for the regularized system. This method is guaranteed to preserve the monotonicity of characteristics.
