On global motions of a compressible barotropic and selfgravitating gas with density-dependent viscosities

We consider the Cauchy problem for the equations of selfgravitating motions of a barotropic gas with density-dependent viscosities μ(ρ), and λ(ρ) satisfying the Bresch–Desjardins condition, when the pressure P(ρ) is not necessarily a monotone function of the density. We prove that this problem admits a global weak solution provided that the adiabatic exponent γ associated with P(ρ) satisfies ${gamma > frac{4}{3}}${gamma > frac{4}{3}}.     

On a decay rate for 1D-viscous compressible barotropic fluid equations

The Navier-Stokes equations of a compressible barotropic fluid in 1D with zero velocity boundary conditions are considered. We study the case of large initial data in H ¹ as well as the mass force such that the stationary density is positive. The uniform lower bound for the density is proved. By constructing suitable Lyapunov functionals, decay rate estimates in L ²-norm and H ¹-norm are given. The decay rate is exponential if so the decay rate of the nonstationary part of the mass force is. The results are proved in the Eulerian coordinates for a wide class of increasing state functions including with any γ > 0 as well as functions of arbitrarily fast growth. We also extend the results for equations of a multicomponent compressible barotropic mixture (in the absence of chemical reactions). Received December 20, 2000; accepted February 27, 2001.     

Global solutions of real compressible reactive gas with density-dependent viscosity and self-gravitation for higher-order kinetics

A mathematical model for viscous, real, compressible, reactive fluid flows is considered. The existence of global solutions for the free boundary problem with species diffusion in dynamic combustion is established when the viscosity λ depends on the density i.e., λ(ρ)=Aρα (), where A is a generic positive constant. Furthermore, the equations of state depend nonlinearly on density and temperature unlike the case of perfect gases or radiative flows. In addition, the shock wave, turbulence, vacuum, mass concentration or extremely hot spot will not be developed in any finite time if the initial data do not contain vacuum.     

Regularity of viscous compressible real heat conductive gas with density-dependent viscosity in one dimension

We are concerned with the regularity of viscous compressible real heat conductive gas with density-dependent viscosity for Dirichlet boundary problem. Using the interpolation inequality and the embedding theorem, we obtain some delicate inequalities which are crucial to lift the regularity of the solutions.     

On some free boundary problem for a compressible barotropic viscous fluid flow

In this paper, we prove a local in time unique existence theorem for the free boundary problem of a compressible barotropic viscous fluid flow without surface tension in the \(L_p\) in time and \(L_q\) in space framework with \(2 < p < \infty \) and \(N < q < \infty \) under the assumption that the initial domain is a uniform \(W^{2-1/q}_q\) one in \({\mathbb {R}}^{N}\, (N \ge 2\) ). After transforming a unknown time dependent domain to the initial domain by the Lagrangian transformation, we solve problem by the Banach contraction mapping principle based on the maximal \(L_p\) – \(L_q\) regularity of the generalized Stokes operator for the compressible viscous fluid flow with free boundary condition. The key issue for the linear theorem is the existence of \({\mathcal {R}}\) -bounded solution operator in a sector, which combined with Weis’s operator valued Fourier multiplier theorem implies the generation of analytic semigroup and the maximal \(L_p\) – \(L_q\) regularity theorem. The nonlinear problem we studied here was already investigated by several authors (Denisova and Solonnikov, St. Petersburg Math J 14:1–22, 2003; J Math Sci 115:2753–2765, 2003; Secchi, Commun PDE 1:185–204, 1990; Math Method Appl Sci 13:391–404, 1990; Secchi and Valli, J Reine Angew Math 341:1–31, 1983; Solonnikov and Tani, Constantin carathéodory: an international tribute, vols 1, 2, pp 1270–1303, World Scientific Publishing, Teaneck, 1991; Lecture notes in mathematics, vol 1530, Springer, Berlin, 1992; Tani, J Math Kyoto Univ 21:839–859, 1981; Zajaczkowski, SIAM J Math Anal 25:1–84, 1994) in the \(L_2\) framework and Hölder spaces, but our approach is different from them.

On compressible Navier–Stokes equations with density dependent viscosities in bounded domains

The present note extends to smooth enough bounded domains recent results about barotropic compressible Navier–Stokes systems with density dependent viscosity coefficients. We show how to get the existence of global weak solutions for both classical Dirichlet and Navier boundary conditions on the velocity, under appropriate constraints on the initial density profile and domain curvature. An additional turbulent drag term in the momentum equation is used to handle the construction of approximate solutions.

On local strong and classical solutions to the three-dimensional barotropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations with vacuum

We consider the local well-posedness of strong and classical solutions to the three-dimensional barotropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations with density containing vacuum initially. We first prove the local existence and uniqueness of the strong solutions, where the initial compatibility condition proposed by Cho et al.(2004), Cho and Kim(2006) and Choe and Kim(2003) is removed in a suitable sense. Then the continuous dependence of strong solutions on the initial data is derived under an additional compatibility condition. Moreover, for the initial data satisfying some additional regularity and the compatibility condition,the strong solution is proved to be a classical one.     

Existence of weak solutions to the three-dimensional problem of steady barotropic motions of mixtures of viscous compressible fluids

We consider the boundary value problem describing the steady barotropic motion of a multicomponent mixture of viscous compressible fluids in a bounded three-dimensional domain. We assume that the material derivative operator is common to all components and is defined by the average velocity of the motion, but keep separate velocities of the components in other terms. Pressure is common and depends on the total density. Beyond that we make no simplifying assumptions, including those on the structure of the viscosity matrix; i.e., we keep all terms in the equations, which naturally generalize the Navier–Stokes model of the motion of one-component media. We establish the existence of weak solutions to the boundary value problem.     

Regularity of 1D compressible isentropic Navier-Stokes equations with density-dependent viscosity

In this paper, we consider one-dimensional compressible isentropic Navier-Stokes equations with the viscosity depending on density and with free boundary. The viscosity coefficient μ is proportional to ρθ with 0<θ<1, where ρ is the density. The existence and uniqueness of global weak solutions in H¹([0,1]) have been established in [S. Jiang, Z. Xin, P. Zhang, Global weak solutions to 1D compressible isentropic Navier-Stokes equations with density-dependent viscosity, Methods Appl. Anal. 12 (2005) 239-252]. We will establish the regularity of global solution under certain assumptions imposed on the initial data by deriving some new a priori estimates.     

Wave motions in a compressible stratified rotating fluid

The dynamics equations for a stratified rotating fluid with a random distribution of stratification are considered. These equations are reduced to a scalar equation using two potential functions. The solvability of the initial-boundary value problems of the wave theory is established.     

Global smooth solutions of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations with density-dependent viscosity

In this paper we study a free boundary problem for the viscous, compressible, heat conducting, one-dimensional real fluids. More precisely, the viscosity is assumed to be a power function of density, i.e., μ(ρ)=ρα, where ρ denotes the density of fluids and α is a positive constant. In addition, the equations of state include and are more general than perfect flows which only depend linearly on temperature. The global existence (uniqueness) of smooth solutions is established with for general, large initial data, which improves the previous results. Moreover, it is also shown that the solutions will not develop vacuum, mass concentration or heat concentration in a finite time provided the initial data are bounded and smooth, and do not contain vacuum.     

Remark on compressible Navier-Stokes equations with density-dependent viscosity and discontinuous initial data

In this paper, we study the free boundary problem for 1D compressible Navier-Stokes equations with density-dependent viscosity. We focus on the case where the viscosity coefficient vanishes on vacuum. We prove the global existence and uniqueness for discontinuous solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations when the initial density is a bounded variation function, and give a decay result for the density as t→+∞.     

Dynamical behaviors for 1D compressible Navier-Stokes equations with density-dependent viscosity

The dynamical behaviors of vacuum states for one-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations with density-dependent viscosity coefficient are considered. It is first shown that a unique strong solution to the free boundary value problem exists globally in time, the free boundary expands outwards at an algebraic rate in time, and the density is strictly positive in any finite time but decays pointwise to zero time-asymptotically. Then, it is proved that there exists a unique global weak solution to the initial boundary value problem when the initial data contains discontinuously a piece of continuous vacuum and is regular away from the vacuum. The solution is piecewise regular and contains a piece of continuous vacuum before the time T_∗>0, which is compressed at an algebraic rate and vanishes at the time T_∗, meanwhile the weak solution becomes either a strong solution or a piecewise strong one and tends to the equilibrium state exponentially.     

Complete bounded trajectories and attractors for compressible barotropic self-gravitating fluid

In this paper, we consider the global behavior of weak solutions of the Navier-Stokes system of compressible barotropic self-gravitating fluids in time in a bounded three dimension domain-arbitrary forces. Under certain restrictions imposed on the adiabatic constant γ, we prove the existence of global compact attractors.     

On the domain dependence of solutions to the compressible Navier–Stokes equations of a barotropic fluid

We prove a general compactness result for the solution set of the compressible Navier–Stokes equations with respect to the variation of the underlying spatial domain. Among various corollaries, we then prove a general existence theorem for the system in question with no restrictions on smoothness of the spatial domain. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
