THE RIEMANN PROBLEM FOR ISENTROPIC COMPRESSIBLE EULER EQUATIONS WITH DISCONTINUOUS FLUX

We consider the singular Riemann problem for the rectilinear isentropic compressible Euler equations with discontinuous flux,more specifically,for pressureless flow on the left and polytropic flow on the right separated by a discontinuity x=x(t).We prove that this problem admits global Radon measure solutions for all kinds of initial data.The over-compressing condition on the discontinuity x=x(t)is not enough to ensure the uniqueness of the solution.However,there is a unique piecewise smooth solution if one proposes a slip condition on the right-side of the curve x=x(t)+0,in addition to the full adhesion condition on its left-side.As an application,we study a free piston problem with the piston in a tube surrounded initially by uniform pressureless flow and a polytropic gas.In particular,we obtain the existence of a piecewise smooth solution for the motion of the piston between a vacuum and a polytropic gas.This indicates that the singular Riemann problem looks like a control problem in the sense that one could adjust the condition on the discontinuity of the flux to obtain the desired flow field.

Radon Measure Solutions to Riemann Problems for Isentropic Compressible Euler Equations of Polytropic Gases

We solve the Riemann problems for isentropic compressible Euler equations of polytropic gases in the class of Radon measures,and the solutions admit the concentration of mass.It is found that under the requirement of satisfying the over-compressing entropy condition:(i)there is a unique delta shock solution,corresponding to the case that has two strong classical Lax shocks;(ii)for the initial data that the classical Riemann solution contains a shock wave and a rarefaction wave,or two shocks with one being weak,there are infinitely many solutions,each consists of a delta shock and a rarefaction wave;(iii)there are no delta shocks for the case that the classical entropy weak solutions consist only of rarefaction waves.These solutions are self-similar.Furthermore,for the generalized Riemann problem with mass concentrated initially at the discontinuous point of initial data,there always exists a unique delta shock for at least a short time.It could be prolonged to a global solution.Not all the solutions are self-similar due to the initial velocity of the concentrated point-mass(particle).Whether the delta shock solutions constructed satisfy the over-compressing entropy condition is clarified.This is the first result on the construction of singular measure solutions to the compressible Euler system of polytropic gases,that is strictly hyperbolic,and whose characteristics are both genuinely nonlinear.We also discuss possible physical interpretations and applications of these new solutions.

ON LOCAL CONTROLLABILITY FOR COMPRESSIBLE NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS WITH DENSITY DEPENDENT VISCOSITIES

In this paper,we study the controllability of compressible Navier-Stokes equations with density dependent viscosities.For when the shear viscosityμis a positive constant and the bulk viscosityλis a function of the density,it is proven that the system is exactly locally controllable to a constant target trajectory by using boundary control functions.

GLOBAL WEAK SOLUTIONS OF COMPRESSIBLE NAVIER-STOKES-LANDAU-LIFSHITZ-MAXWELL EQUATIONS FOR QUANTUM FLUIDS IN DIMENSION THREE

In this paper,we consider the weak solutions of compressible Navier-StokesLandau-Lifshitz-Maxwell(CNSLLM)system for quantum fluids with a linear density dependent viscosity in a 3D torus.By introducing the cold pressure Pc,we prove the global existence of weak solutions with the pressure P+Pc,where P=Aργwithγ≥1.Our main result extends the one in[13]on the quantum Navier-Stokes equations to the CNSLLM system.

GLOBAL SOLUTIONS TO THE 2D COMPRESSIBLE NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS WITH SOME LARGE INITIAL DATA

We consider the global well-posedness of strong solutions to the Cauchy problem of compressible barotropic Navier-Stokes equations in R^(2). By exploiting the global-in-time estimate to the two-dimensional(2D for short) classical incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and using techniques developed in(SIAM J Math Anal, 2020, 52(2): 1806–1843), we derive the global existence of solutions provided that the initial data satisfies some smallness condition. In particular, the initial velocity with some arbitrary Besov norm of potential part Pu_0 and large high oscillation are allowed in our results. Moreover, we also construct an example with the initial data involving such a smallness condition, but with a norm that is arbitrarily large.

THE LOW MACH NUMBER LIMIT FOR ISENTROPIC COMPRESSIBLE NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS WITH A REVISED MAXWELL'S LAW

We investigate the low Mach number limit for the isentropic compressible NavierStokes equations with a revised Maxwell's law(with Galilean invariance) in R^(3). By applying the uniform estimates of the error system, it is proven that the solutions of the isentropic Navier-Stokes equations with a revised Maxwell's law converge to that of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations as the Mach number tends to zero. Moreover, the convergence rates are also obtained.

Blowup of Solutions to the Non-Isentropic Compressible Euler Equations with Time-Dependent Damping and Vacuum

This paper mainly studies the blowup phenomenon of solutions to the compressible Euler equations with general time-dependent damping for non-isentropic fluids in two and three space dimensions. When the initial data is assumed to be radially symmetric and the initial density contains vacuum, we obtain that classical solution, especially the density, will blow up on finite time. The results also reveal that damping can really delay the singularity formation.

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.

Factorized Smith Method for A Class of High-Ranked Large-ScaleТ-Stein Equations

We introduce a factorized Smith method(FSM)for solving large-scale highranked J-Stein equations within the banded-plus-low-rank structure framework.To effectively reduce both computational complexity and storage requirements,we develop techniques including deflation and shift,partial truncation and compression,as well as redesign the residual computation and termination condition.Numerical examples demonstrate that the FSM outperforms the Smith method implemented with a hierarchical HODLR structured toolkit in terms of CPU time.

COMPRESSIBLE NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS WITH DENSITY-DEPENDENT VISCOSITY,VACUUM AND GRAVITATIONAL FORCE IN THE CASE OF GENERAL PRESSURE

This is a continuation of the article（Comm.Partial Differential Equations 26（2001）965）.In this article,the authors consider the one-dimensional compressible isentropic Navier-Stokes equations with gravitational force,fixed boundary condition,a general pressure and the density-dependent viscosity coefficient when the viscous gas connects to vacuum state with a jump in density.Precisely,the viscosity coefficient μ is proportional to ρ^θ and 0〈θ〈1/2,where ρ is the density,and the pressure P=P（ρ）is a general pressure.The global existence and the uniqueness of weak solution are proved.

TIME PERIODIC SOLUTION TO THE COMPRESSIBLE NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS IN A PERIODIC DOMAIN

This article is concerned with the time periodic solution to the isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations in a periodic domain. Using an approach of parabolic regularization, we first obtain the existence of the time periodic solution to a regularized problem under some smallness and symmetry assumptions on the external force. The result for the original compressible Navier-Stokes equations is then obtained by a limiting process. The uniqueness of the periodic solution is also given.

GLOBAL CLASSICAL SOLUTION TO THE CAUCHY PROBLEM OF THE 3-D COMPRESSIBLE NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS WITH DENSITY-DEPENDENT VISCOSITY

In this paper, we consider the global existence of classical solution to the 3-D compressible Navier-Stokes equations with a density-dependent viscosity coefficient λ(ρ)provided that the initial energy is small in some sense. In our result, we give a relation between the initial energy and the viscosity coefficient μ, and it shows that the initial energy can be large if the coefficient of the viscosity μ is taken to be large, which implies that large viscosity μ means large solution.

ASYMPTOTIC BEHAVIOR OF SOLUTIONS TOWARD THE SUPERPOSITION OF CONTACT DISCONTINUITY AND SHOCK WAVE FOR COMPRESSIBLE NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS WITH FREE BOUNDARY

A free boundary problem for the one-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations is investigated. The asymptotic behavior of solutions toward the superposition of contact discontinuity and shock wave is established under some smallness conditions. To do this, we first construct a new viscous contact wave such that the momentum equation is satisfied exactly and then determine the shift of the viscous shock wave. By using them together with an inequality concerning the heat kernel in the half space, we obtain the desired a priori estimates. The proof is based on the elementary energy method by the anti-derivative argument.

ON THE GLOBAL EXISTENCE OF SMOOTH SOLUTIONS TO THE MULTI-DIMENSIONAL COMPRESSIBLE EULER EQUATIONS WITH TIME-DEPENDING DAMPING IN HALF SPACE

This paper is a continue work of [4, 5]. In the previous two papers, we studied the Cauchy problem of the multi-dimensional compressible Euler equations with time-depending damping term --u/（1＋t）λpu, where λ≥ 0 and μ 〉 0 are constants. We have showed that, for all λ ≥ 0 andμ 〉 0 the smooth solution to the Cauchy problem exists globally or blows up in finite time. In the present paper, instead of the Cauchy problem we consider the initial- boundary value problem in the half space R＋^d with space dimension d = 2, 3. With the help of the special structure of the equations and the fluid vorticity, we overcome the difficulty arisen from the boundary effect. We prove that there exists a global smooth solution for 0 ≤λ 〈 1 when the initial data is close to its equilibrium state. In addition, exponential decay of the fluid vorticity will also be established.

GLOBAL EXISTENCE OF STRONG SOLUTIONS OF NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS WITH NON-NEWTONIAN POTENTIAL FOR ONE-DIMENSIONAL ISENTROPIC COMPRESSIBLE FLUIDS

The aims of this paper are to discuss global existence and uniqueness of strong solution for a class of isentropic compressible navier-Stokes equations with non-Newtonian in one-dimensional bounded intervals. We prove two global existence results on strong solutions of isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations. The first result shows only the existence. And the second one shows the existence and uniqueness result based on the first result, but the uniqueness requires some compatibility condition.

MAXIMAL ATTRACTORS FOR THE COMPRESSIBLE NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS OF VISCOUS AND HEAT CONDUCTIVE FLUID

This article is concerned with the existence of maximal attractors in Hi （i = 1, 2, 4） for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations for a polytropic viscous heat conductive ideal gas in bounded annular domains Ωn in Rn（n = 2,3）. One of the important features is that the metric spaces H（1）, H（2）, and H（4） we work with are three incomplete metric spaces, as can be seen from the constraints θ 〉 0 and u 〉 0, with θand u being absolute temperature and specific volume respectively. For any constants δ1, δ2……,δ8 verifying some conditions, a sequence of closed subspaces Hδ（4） H（i） （i = 1, 2, 4） is found, and the existence of maximal （universal） attractors in Hδ（i） （i = 1.2.4） is established.

The discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin method for one-dimensional compressible Euler equations in the Lagrangian coordinate

In this paper, a Petrov-Galerkin scheme named the Runge-Kutta control volume （RKCV） discontinuous finite ele- ment method is constructed to solve the one-dimensional compressible Euler equations in the Lagrangian coordinate. Its advantages include preservation of the local conservation and a high resolution. Compared with the Runge-Kutta discon- tinuous Galerkin （RKDG） method, the RKCV method is easier to implement. Moreover, the advantages of the RKCV and the Lagrangian methods are combined in the new method. Several numerical examples are given to illustrate the accuracy and the reliability of the algorithm.

WELL-POSEDNESS IN CRITICAL SPACES FOR THE FULL COMPRESSIBLE MHD EQUATIONS

In this paper we prove local well-posedness in critical Besov spaces for the full compressible MHD equations in R^N, N≥ 2, under the assumptions that the initialdensity is bounded away from zero. The proof relies on uniform estimates for a mixed hyperbolic/parabolic linear system with a convection term.
