We introduce the notion of relative entropy for the weak solutions of the compressible Navier-Stokes system. We show that any finite energy weak solution satisfies a relative entropy inequality for any pair of sufficiently smooth test functions. As a corollary we establish weak-strong uniqueness principle for the compressible Navier-Stokes system.
In this paper, we rigorously derive the compressible one-fluid Navier-Stokes equation from the scaled compressible two-fluid Navier-Stokes-Maxwell equations locally in time under the assumption that the initial data are well prepared. We justify the singular limit by proving the uniform decay of the error system, which is obtained by elaborate energy estimates.
We obtain existence and conormal Sobolev regularity of strong solutions to the 3D compressible isentropic Navier-Stokes system on the half-space with a Navier boundary condition, over a time that is uniform with respect to the viscosity parameters when these are small. These solutions then converge globally and strongly in $L^2$ towards the solution of the compressible isentropic Euler system when the viscosity parameters go to zero.
We consider the compressible Navier-Stokes system describing the motion of a barotropic fluid with density dependent viscosity confined in a three-dimensional bounded domain $Ω$. We show the convergence of the weak solution to the compressible Navier-Stokes system to the strong solution to the compressible Euler system when the viscosity and the damping coefficients tend to zero.
We study cavitating self-similar solutions to compressible Navier-Stokes equations with degenerate density-dependent viscosity. We prove both existence of expanders and non-existence of small shrinkers.
We construct forward self-similar solutions (expanders) for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations. Some of these self-similar solutions are smooth, while others exhibit a singularity do to cavitation at the origin.
In this paper, we study the low Mach number limit of the full compressible Navier-Stokes equations with revised Maxwell law. By applying the uniform estimation of the error system, we prove that the solutions of the full compressible Navier-Stokes equations with time relaxation converge to that of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations as the Mach number tends to zero. Moreover, the convergence rates are also obtained.
We obtain the global large solutions to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations in $\mathbb{R}^2$. The solution is large in the sense that there is no smallness assumption applied to one component of the initial incompressible velocity.
We show the weak-strong uniqueness property for the compressible Navier-Stokes system with general non-monotone pressure law. A weak solution coincides with the strong solution emanating from the same initial data as long as the latter solution exists.
A free boundary problem for the one-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations is investigated. The asymptotic stability of the viscous shock wave is established under some smallness conditions. The proof is given by an elementary energy estimate.
In this paper, we prove the energy conservation for the weak solutions of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations for any time $t>0$, under certain conditions. The results hold for the renormalized solutions of the equations with constant viscosities, as well as the weak solutions of the equations with degenerate viscosity. Our conditions do not depend on the dimensions. The energy may conserve on the vacuum for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations with constant viscosities. Our results are the first ones on the energy conservation for the weak solutions of the compressible Navier-Stokes …
In this paper we establish the uniform estimates of strong solutions with respect to the Mach number and the dielectric constant to the full compressible Navier-Stokes-Maxwell system in a bounded domain. Based on these uniform estimates, we obtain the convergence of the full compressible Navier-Stokes-Maxwell system to the incompressible magnetohydrodynamic equations for well-prepared data.
In this paper, we investigate the compressible Navier-Stokes equations with degenerate, density-dependent, viscosity coefficient driven by multiplicative stochastic noise. We consider three-dimensional periodic domain and prove that the family of weak martingale solutions is sequentially compact.
We are concerned about the barotropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations with density-dependent viscosities which may degenerate in vacuum. We show that any classical solution to barotropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations in bounded domains will blow up, when the initial density admits an isolated mass group and the viscousity coefficients satisfy some conditions. A new condition on viscosities is first put forward in this paper.
The global-in-time existence of weak solutions to the barotropic compressible quantum Navier-Stokes equations with damping is proved for large data in three dimensional space. The model consists of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations with degenerate viscosity, and a nonlinear third-order differential operator, with the quantum Bohm potential, and the damping terms. The global weak solutions to such system is shown by using the Faedo-Galerkin method and the compactness argument. This system is also a very important approximated system to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations. It will he…
This paper presents a new approach to the local well-posedness of the $1d$ compressible Navier-Stokes systems with rough initial data. Our approach is based on establishing some smoothing and Lipschitz-type estimates for the $1d$ parabolic equation with piecewise continuous coefficients.
The initial boundary value problems for compressible Navier-Stokes-Poisson is considered on a bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^3$ in this paper. The global existence of smooth solutions near a given steady state for compressible Navier-Stokes-Poisson with physical boundary conditions is established with the exponential stability. An important feature is that the steady state (except velocity) and the background profile are allowed to be of large variation.
We prove weak-strong uniqueness results for the isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes system on the torus. In other words, we give conditions on a strong solution so that it is unique in a class of weak solutions. Known weak-strong uniqueness results are improved. Classical uniqueness results for this equation follow naturally.
In this paper, we construct a class of global large solution to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations in the whole space $\R^d$. Precisely speaking, our choice of special initial data whose $\dot{B}^{-1}_{\infty,\infty}$ norm can be arbitrarily large, namely, $||u_0||_{\dot{B}^{-1}_{\infty,\infty}}\gg 1$, allows to give rise to global-in-time solution to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations.
Consider the linear stability of the three dimensional isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations on $\mathbb{T}\times\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{T}$. We prove the enhanced dissipation phenomenon for the linearized isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations around the Couette flow $(y, 0, 0)^\top$. Moreover, the lift-up phenomenon is also shown in this paper. Compared with the 3D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations [Ann. of Math.,185(2017), 541--608], the lift-up effect here is stronger due to the loss of the incompressible condition.
It is shown that the one-dimensional or two-dimensional radially symmetric isothermal compressible Navier-Stokes system has no non-trivial global smooth solutions if the initial density is compactly supported. This result is a generalization of Xin's work \cite{Xin98} to the isothermal case.
In this paper, the local well-posedness of strong solutions to the Cauchy problem of the isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations is proved with the initial date being allowed to have vacuum. The main contribution of this paper is that the well-posedness is established without assuming any compatibility condition on the initial data, which was widely used before in many literatures concerning the well-posedness of compressible Navier-Stokes equations in the presence of vacuum.
We consider the homogenization problem of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations in a bounded three dimensional domain perforated with very tiny holes. As the number of holes increases to infinity, we show that, if the size of the holes is small enough, the homogenized equations are the same as the compressible Navier-Stokes equations in the homogeneous domain---domain without holes. This coincides with the previous studies for the Stokes equations and the stationary Navier-Stokes equations. It is the first result of this kind in the instationary barotropic compressible setting. The main tec…
We show the uniqueness of particle paths of a velocity field, which solves the compressible isentropic Navier-Stokes equations in the half-space $\mathbb{R}_+^3$ with the Navier boundary condition. In particular, by means of energy estimates and the assumption of small energy we prove that the velocity field satisfies the necessary regularity needed to prove the uniqueness of particle paths.
In this work, we obtain the hydrostatic approximation by taking the small aspect ratio limit to the Navier-Stokes equations. The aspect ratio (the ratio of the depth to horizontal width) is a geometrical constraint in general large scale geophysical motions that the vertical scale is significantly smaller than horizontal. We use the versatile relative entropy inequality to prove rigorously the limit from the compressible Navier-Stokes equations to the compressible Primitive Equations. This is the first work to use relative entropy inequality for proving hydrostatic approximation and derive the…
A fluid-particle model is investigated in the present paper, which consists of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations coupled with the Vlasov equation though a nonlinear drag force. We consider the initial value problem for the one-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes-Vlasov system and establish the global existence and uniqueness of the weak solution for general initial data in either spatial periodic domain or spatial real line, which is shown to be a classical solution for regular initial data.
Motivated by \cite{CG10,CZ6}, we prove the global existence of solutions to the two-dimensional isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations with smooth initial data which are slowly varying in one direction and with initial density being away from vacuum. In particular, we present examples of initial data which generate unique global smooth solutions to 2D compressible Navier-Stokes equations with constant viscosity and with initial data which are neither small perturbation of some constant equilibrium state nor of small energy.
In this paper, we establish the existence and uniqueness of local strong solutions to the kinetic Cucker--Smale model coupled with the isentropic compressible Navier--Stokes equation in the whole space. Moreover, the blowup mechanism for strong solutions to the coupled system is also investigated.
In this paper, we mainly study the Cauchy problem for the full compressible Navier-Stokes equations in Sobolev spaces. We establish the global well-posedness of the equations with small initial data by using Friedrich's method and compactness arguments.
We establish a blowup criterion for the two-dimensional (2D) full compressible Navier-Stokes system. The criterion is given in terms of the divergence of the velocity field only, and is independent of the temperature. It is almost the same as that of barotropic case.
In this work, we study the motion of a rigid body in a bounded domain which is filled with a compressible isentropic fluid. We consider the Navier-slip boundary condition at the interface as well as at the boundary of the domain. This is the first mathematical analysis of a compressible fluid-rigid body system where Navier-slip boundary conditions are considered. We prove existence of a weak solution of the fluid-structure system up to collision.
In this paper we consider the barotropic compressible quantum Navier-Stokes equations with a linear density dependent viscosity and its limit when the scaled Planck constant vanish. Following recent works on degenerate compressible Navier-Stokes equations, we prove the global existence of weak solutions by the use of a singular pressure close to vacuum. With such singular pressure, we can use the standard definition of global weak solutions which also allows to justify the limit when the scaled Planck constant denoted by $ε$ tends to 0.
We consider a sufficient condition for the energy conservation law of a weak solution for the full compressible Navier-Stokes equations on the torus. We prove that a weak solution constructed by Feireisl with certain integrability conditions conserve the energy. Our assumption relaxes the regularity condition for the density compared with existing results.
This paper is concerned with the global smooth non-vacuum solutions with large data to the Cauchy problem of the one-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations with degenerate temperature dependent transport coefficients which satisfy conditions from the consideration in kinetic theory. A Nishida-Smoller type result is obtained.
We prove the global well-posedness of three dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations for some classes of large initial data, which is of large oscillation for the density and large energy for the velocity. The structure of the system (especially, the effective viscous flux) is fully exploited.
We provide a rigorous derivation of the compressible Reynolds system as a singular limit of the compressible (barotropic) Navier-Stokes system on a thin domain. In particular, the existence of solutions to the Navier-Stokes system with non-homogeneous boundary conditions is shown that may be of independent interest. Our approach is based on new a priori bounds available for the pressure law of hard sphere type. Finally, uniqueness for the limit problem is established in the 1D case.
The existence of dissipative solutions to the compressible isentropic Navier-Stokes equations was established in this paper. This notion was inspired by the concept of dissipative solutions to the incompressible Euler equations of Lions (\cite{Lions-1996}, Section 4.4). Our method is to recover such solutions by passing to the limits from approximated solutions, thanks to compactness argument.
We consider a compressible Navier-Stokes system for a barotropic fluid with density dependent viscosity in a three-dimensional time-space domain $(0,T)\times Ω_\varepsilon$ where $Ω_\varepsilon = (0,\varepsilon)^2\times (0,1)$. We show that the weak solutions of the 3D system converges to the strong solution of the respective 1D system as $\varepsilon\rightarrow0.$
We identify a class of measure-valued solutions of the barotropic Euler system on a general (un-bounded) spatial domain as a vanishing viscosity limit for the compressible Navier-Stokes system. Then we establish the weak (measure-valued)-strong uniqueness principle, and, as a corollary, we obtain strong convergence to the Euler system on the lifespan of the strong solution.
In this paper, we study the large time behavior of the 3-D isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equation in the partial space-periodic domains, and simultaneously show that the related profile systems can be described by like Navier-Stokes equations with suitable "pressure" functions in lower dimensions. Our proofs are based on the energy methods together with some delicate analysis on the corresponding linearized problems.
Time decay estimate of solutions to the compressible Navier-Stokes-Korteweg system is studied. Concerning the linearized problem, the decay estimate with diffusion wave property for an initial data is derived. As an application, the time decay estimate of solutions to the nonlinear problem is given. In contrast to the compressible Navier-Stokes system, for linear system regularities of the initial data are lower and independent of the order of derivative of solutions owing to smoothing effect from the Korteweg tensor. Furthermore, for the nonlinear system diffusion wave property is obtained wi…
We consider the compressible Navier-Stokes system on time-dependent domains with prescribed motion of the boundary, supplemented with slip boundary conditions for the velocity. We derive the relative entropy inequality in the spirit of Feireisl et al. for the system on moving domain and use it to prove the weak-strong uniqueness property.
In this paper we study a vanishing pressure process for highly compressible Navier-Stokes equations as the Mach number tends to infinity. We first prove the global existence of weak solutions for the pressureless system in the framework [Li-Xin, arXiv:1504.06826v2], where the weak solutions are established for compressible Navier-Stokes equations with degenerate viscous coefficients. Furthermore, a rate of convergence of the density in $L^{\infty}\left(0,T;L^{2}(\rr)\right)$ is obtained, in case when the velocity corresponds to the gradient of density at initial time.
This article is devoted to backward self-similar blow up solutions of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations with radial symmetry. We show that such solutions cannot exist if they either satisfy an appropriate smallness condition, or have finite energy. Furthermore, numerical simulations lead us to the conjecture that such solutions do not exist.
Sprays are complex flows constituted of dispersed particles in an underlying gas. In this paper, we are interested in the equations for moderately thick sprays consisting of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations and Boltzmann BGK equation. Here the coupling of two equations is through a friction (or drag) force which depends on the density of compressible fluid and the relative velocity between particles and fluid. For the Navier-Stokes-BGK system, we establish the existence and uniqueness of solutions in Sobolev spaces with exponential weight.
We study a hydrodynamic limit of a system of coupled kinetic and fluid equations under a strong local alignment force and a strong Brownian motion. More precisely, we consider the Vlasov-Fokker-Planck type equation and compressible Navier-Stokes equations with a density-dependent viscosity. Based on a relative entropy argument, by assuming the existence of weak solutions to that kinetic-fluid system, we rigorously derive a two-phase fluid model consisting of isothermal Euler equations and compressible Navier-Stokes equations with a density-dependent viscosity.
We consider the motion of compressible Navier-Stokes fluids with the hard sphere pressure law around a rigid obstacle when the velocity and the density at infinity are non zero. This kind of pressure model is largely employed in various physical and industrial applications. We prove the existence of weak solution to the system in the exterior domain.
In this paper, we consider the initial-boundary value problem of three-dimensional isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations with rotating effect terms in an exterior domain with Navier-slip boundary condition and with far-field vacuum. This problem is related to the motion of the compressible viscous flow past a rotating obstacle. We establish the global existence and uniqueness of classical solutions, provided that the initial mass is small. The initial data and the angular velocity of the obstacle are allowed to have large oscillations.
We are concerned with the Cahn-Hilliard/Navier-Stokes equations for the stationary compressible flows in a three-dimensional bounded domain. The governing equations consist of the stationary Navier-Stokes equations describing the compressible fluid flows and the stationary Cahn-Hilliard type diffuse equation for the mass concentration difference. We prove the existence of weak solutions when the adiabatic exponent $γ$ satisfies $γ>\frac{4}{3}$. The proof is based on the weighted total energy estimates and the new techniques developed to overcome the difficulties from the capillary stress.
In this paper our goal is to define a renormalised dissipative measure--valued (rDMV) solution of compressible Navier--Stokes system for fluids with non-monotone pressure--density relation. We prove existence of rDMV solutions and establish a suitable relative energy inequality. Moreover we obtain the Weak (Measure-valued)-Strong uniqueness property of this rDMV solution with the help of relative energy inequality.
We study the barotropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations with Navier-type boundary condition in a two-dimensional simply connected bounded domain with $C^{\infty}$ boundary $\partialΩ.$ By some new estimates on the boundary related to the Navier-type slip boundary condition, the classical solution to the initial-boundary-value problem of this system exists globally in time provided the initial energy is suitably small even if the density has large oscillations and contains vacuum states. Futhermore, we also prove that the oscillation of the density will grow unboundedly in the long run wit…
In this paper, we prove global existence of weak solutions for the stationary compressible Navier-Stokes equations with an anisotropic and nonlocal viscous term in a periodic domain. This gives an answer to an open problem important for applications in geophysics or in microuidics. The main idea is to adapt in a non-trivial way the new idea developped by the authors in a previous paper, see [2] which allowed them to treat the anisotropic compressible quasi-stationary Stokes system.
We prove uniqueness of weak solutions of the three-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations with potential force. We make use of the Lagrangean framework in comparing the instantaneous states of corresponding fluid particles in two different solutions. The present work provides qualitative results on how the weak solutions depend continuously on initial data and steady states.
We consider the asymptotic behavior as time goes to infinity of the $L^{2}$-norm of the velocity of the linearized compressible Navier-Stokes equations in ${\bf R}^{n}$ ($n \geq 2$). As an application we shall study the optimality of the decay rate for the $L^{2}$-norm of the velocity by deriving the decay estimate from below as time goes to infinity.
We consider the compressible Navier-Stokes system with variable entropy. The pressure is a nonlinear function of the density and the entropy/potential temperature which, unlike in the Navier-Stokes-Fourier system, satisfies only the transport equation. We provide existence results within three alternative weak formulations of the corresponding classical problem. Our constructions hold for the optimal range of the adiabatic coefficients from the point of view of the nowadays existence theory.
