NONLINEAR STABILITY OF RAREFACTION WAVES TO THE COMPRESSIBLE NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS FOR A REACTING MIXTURE WITH ZERO HEAT CONDUCTIVITY

In this paper,we study the time-asymptotically nonlinear stability of rarefaction waves for the Cauchy problem of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations for a reacting mixture with zero heat conductivity in one dimension.If the corresponding Riemann problem for the compressible Euler system admits the solutions consisting of rarefaction waves only,it is shown that its Cauchy problem has a unique global solution which tends time-asymptotically towards the rarefaction waves,while the initial perturbation and the strength of rarefaction waves are suitably small.

Condensation Induced by Rarefaction Waves and Reflected Rarefaction Waves

In this paper,homogeneous condensation induced by unsteady rarefaction waves and reflected rarefaction waves in vapor-gas mixture was investigated experimentally.It is shown that the temperature of condensation onset during very fast unsteady expansion in vapor-gas mixture is much lower than that during equilibrium process in the atmosphere. It is of interest to indicate that the size of droplets approximates a constant,but the number density and the mass density of droplets change rapidly in the region of static flow.

ASYMPTOTIC RAREFACTION WAVES FOR BALANCE LAWS WITH STIFF SOURCES

We study the long time formation of rarefaction waves appearing in balance laws by means of singular perturbation methods. The balance laws are non standard because they contain a variable u that appears only in the flux terms. We present a concrete example occurring in flow of steam, nitrogen and water in porous media and an abstract example for a class of systems of three equations. In the concrete example the zero-order equations resulting from the expansion yield a type of conservation law system called compositional model in Petroleum Engineering. In this work we show how compositional models originate from physically more fundamental systems of balance laws. Under appropriate conditions, we prove that certain solutions of the system of balance laws decay with time to rarefaction wave solutions in the compositional model originating from the system of balance laws.

ZERO DISSIPATION LIMIT TO RAREFACTION WAVES FOR THE ONE-DIMENSIONAL COMPRESSIBLE NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS WITH SELECTED DENSITY-DEPENDENT VISCOSITY

This paper is devoted to studying the zero dissipation limit problem for the one-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations with selected density-dependent viscosity.In particular,we focus our attention on the viscosity taking the formμ(ρ)=ρ^(ϵ)(ϵ>0).For the selected density-dependent viscosity,it is proved that the solutions of the one-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations with centered rarefaction wave initial data exist for all time,and converge to the centered rarefaction waves as the viscosity vanishes,uniformly away from the initial discontinuities.New and subtle analysis is developed to overcome difficulties due to the selected density-dependent viscosity to derive energy estimates,in addition to the scaling argument and elementary energy analysis.Moreover,our results extend the studies in[Xin Z P.Comm Pure Appl Math,1993,46(5):621-665].

NONLINEAR STABILITY OF RAREFACTION WAVES FOR A COMPRESSIBLE MICROPOLAR FLUID MODEL WITH ZERO HEAT CONDUCTIVITY

In 2018,Duan[1]studied the case of zero heat conductivity for a one-dimensional compressible micropolar fluid model.Due to the absence of heat conductivity,it is quite difficult to close the energy estimates.He considered the far-field states of the initial data to be constants;that is,lim x→±∞(v0,u0,w0,θ0)(x)=(1,0,0,1).He proved that the solution tends asymptotically to those constants.In this article,under the same hypothesis that the heat conductivity is zero,we consider the far-field states of the initial data to be different constants-that is,lim x→±∞(v0,u0,w0,θ0)(x)=(v±,u±,o,θ±)-and we prove that if both the initial perturbation and the strength of the rarefaction waves are assumed to be suitably small,the Cauchy problem admits a unique global solution that tends time-asymptotically toward the combination of two rarefaction waves from different families.

STABILITY OF THE RAREFACTION WAVE IN THE SINGULAR LIMIT OF A SHARP INTERFACE PROBLEM FOR THE COMPRESSIBLE NAVIER-STOKES/ALLEN-CAHN SYSTEM

This paper is concerned with the global well-posedness of the solution to the compressible Navier-Stokes/Allen-Cahn system and its sharp interface limit in one-dimensional space.For the perturbations with small energy but possibly large oscillations of rarefaction wave solutions near phase separation,and where the strength of the initial phase field could be arbitrarily large,we prove that the solution of the Cauchy problem exists for all time,and converges to the centered rarefaction wave solution of the corresponding standard two-phase Euler equation as the viscosity and the thickness of the interface tend to zero.The proof is mainly based on a scaling argument and a basic energy method.

NONLINEAR STABILITY OF RAREFACTION WAVES FOR A RATE-TYPE VISCOELASTIC SYSTEM

The authors study a 3×3 rate-type viscoelastic system, which is a relaxation approximationto a 2×2 quasi-linear hyperbolic system, including the well-known p-system. It is shown thatthe rarefaction waves are nonlinear asymptotically stable in this relaxation approximation.

Nonlinear stability of rarefaction waves for a viscous radiative and reactive gas with large initial perturbation

We investigate the time-asymptotically nonlinear stability of rarefaction waves to the Cauchy problem of a one-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes type system for a viscous,compressible,radiative and reactive gas,where the constitutive relations for the pressure p,the speci c internal energy e,the speci c volume v,the absolute temperature θ,and the specific entropy s are given by p=Rθv+aθ^(4)/3,e=C_(v)θ+avθ^(4),and s=C_(v)lnθ+4avθ^(3)/3+Rln v with R>0,C_(v)>0 and a>0 being the perfect gas constant,the speci c heat and the radiation constant,respectively.For such a specific gas motion,a somewhat surprising fact is that,generally speaking,the pressure p(v,s)is not a convex function of the specific volume v and the specific entropy s.Even so,we show in this paper that the rarefaction waves are time-asymptotically stable for large initial perturbation provided that the radiation constant a and the strength of the rarefaction waves are sufficiently small.The key point in our analysis is to deduce the positive lower and upper bounds on the specific volume and the absolute temperature,which are uniform with respect to the space and the time variables,but are independent of the radiation constant a.

Zero Dissipation Limit to Rarefaction Waves for the 1-D Compressible Navier-Stokes Equations

The zero dissipation limit for the one-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations of compressible,isentropic gases in the case that the corresponding Euler equations have rarefaction wave solutions is investigated in this paper.In a paper(Comm.Pure Appl.Math.,46,1993,621-665) by Z.P.Xin,the author constructed a sequence of solutions to one-dimensional Navier-Stokes isentropic equations converging to the rarefaction wave as the viscosity tends to zero.Furthermore,he obtained that the convergence rate is ε 1/4 | ln ε|.In this paper,Xin's convergence rate is improved to ε1/3|lnε|2 by different scaling arguments.The new scaling has various applications in related problems.

Zero Dissipation Limit to Rarefaction Waves for the p-System

We study the zero-dissipation problem for a one-dimensional model system for the isentropic flow of a compressible viscous gas, the so-called p-system with viscosity. When the solution of the inviscid problem is a rarefaction wave with finite strength, there exists unique solution to the viscous problem with the same initial data which converges to the given inviscid solution as c goes to zero. The proof consists of a scaling argument and elementary energy analysis, based on the underlying wave structure.

Double casing warhead with sandwiched charge:The axial distribution of fragments velocities

The double casing warhead with sandwiched charge is a novel fragmentation warhead that can produce two groups of fragments with different velocity,and the previous work has presented a calculation formula to determine the maximum fragment velocity.The current work builds on the published formula to further develop a formula for calculating the axial distribution characteristics of the fragment velocity.For this type of warhead,the simulation of the dispersion characteristics of the detonation products at different positions shows that the detonation products at the ends have a much larger axial velocity than those in the middle,and the detonation products have a greater axial dispersion velocity when they are closer to the central axis.The loading process and the fragment velocity vary with the axial position for both casing layers,and the total velocity of the fragments is the vector sum of the radial velocity and the axial velocity.At the same axial position,the acceleration time of the inner casing is greater than that of the outer casing.For the same casing,the fragments generated at the ends have a longer acceleration time than the fragments from the middle.The proposed formula is validated with the X-ray radiography results of the four warheads previously tested experimentally and the 3D smoothedparticle hydrodynamics numerical simulation results of several series of new warheads with different configurations.The formula can accurately and reliably calculate the fragment velocity when the lengthto-diameter ratio of the charge is greater than 1.5 and the thickness of the casing is less than 20%its inner radius.This work thus provides a key reference for the theoretical analysis and the design of warheads with multiple casings.

Compressive and Rarefactive Waves in Dust Plasma with Non-thermal Ions

The governing equation of the dust fluid with non-thermal ions and variable dust charge on dust particles in hot dust plasmas is obtained. Both the compressive and rarefactive waves in this system are investigated. They can be determined by plasma parameters including the temperatures of （lust fluid, ions and electrons, as well as the non-thermal parameter of ions, and the number densities of the dust particles, the ions and the electrons, etc.

Analysis of the stress wave and rarefaction wave produced by hypervelocity impact of sphere onto thin plate

Shock wave is emitted into the plate and sphere when a sphere hypervelocity impacts onto a thin plate.The fragmentation and phase change of the material caused by the propagation and unloading of shock wave could result in the formation of debris cloud eventually.Propagation models are deduced based on one-dimensional shock wave theory and the geometry of sphere,which uses elliptic equations(corresponding to ellipsoid equations in physical space)to describe the propagation of shock wave and the rarefaction wave.The“Effective thickness”is defined as the critical plate thickness that ensures the rarefaction wave overtake the shock wave at the back of the sphere.The“Effective thickness”is directly related to the form of the debris cloud.The relation of the“Effective thickness”and the“Optimum thickness”is also discussed.The impacts of Al spheres onto Al plates are simulated within SPH to verify the propagation models and associated theories.The results show that the wave fronts predicted by the propagation models are closer to the simulation result at higher impact velocity.The curvatures of the wave fronts decrease with the increase of impact velocities.The predicted“Effective thickness”is consistent with the simulation results.The analysis about the shock wave propagation and unloading in this paper can provide a new sight and inspiration for the quantitative study of hypervelocity impact and space debris protection.

In this article, authors study the Cauch problem for a model of hyperbolic-elliptic coupled system derived from the one-dimensional system of the rudiating gas. By considering the initial data as a small disturbances of rarefaction wave of inviscid Burgers equation, the global existence of the solution to the corresponding Cauchy problem and asymptotic stability of rarefaction wave is proved. The analysis is based on a priori estimates and L^2-energy method.

DECAY OF POSITIVE WAVES OF HYPERBOLIC BALANCE LAWS

Historically, decay rates have been used to provide quantitative and quali- tative information on the solutions to hyperbolic conservation laws. Quantitative results include the establishment of convergence rates for approximating procedures and numer- ical schemes. Qualitative results include the establishment of results on uniqueness and regularity as well as the ability to visualize the waves and their evolution in time. This work presents two decay estimates on the positive waves for systems of hyperbolic and gen- uinely nonlinear balance laws satisfying a dissipative mechanism. The result is obtained by employing the continuity of Glimm-type functionals and the method of generalized characteristics [7, 17, 241.

We investigate the decay rates of the planar viscous rarefaction wave of the initial-boundary value problem to scalar conservation law with degenerate viscosity in several dimensions on the half-line space, where the corresponding one-dimensional problem admits the rarefaction wave as an asymptotic state. The analysis is based on the standard L2-energy method and L1-estimate.

Effects of Periodic Boundary Condition on Traffic Waves

In this paper, we use the speed-gradient model proposed by Jiang et al. [Transp. Res. B 36 （2002） 405] to study the effect of boundary condition on shock and rarefaction wave. Our numerical results show that this model can reproduce the evolution of the two traffic waves, which further proves that this model can be used to perfectly explore the consequences caused by various boundary conditions.
