It is well-known that due to the lack of a technique to obtain the a-priori $L^{\infty}$ estimate of the artificial viscosity solutions of the Cauchy problem for the one-dimensional Euler-Poisson (or hydrodynamic) model for semiconductors, where the energy equation is replaced by a pressure-density relation, over the past three decades, all solutions of this model were obtained by using the Lax-Friedrichs, Godounov schemes and Glimm scheme for both the initial-boundary value problem \cite{Zh1,Li} and the Cauchy problem \cite{MN1,PRV,HLY}; or by using the vanishing artificial viscosity method for the initial-boundary value problem \cite{Jo,HLYY}. In this paper, the existence of global entropy solutions, for the Cauchy problem of this model, is proved by using the vanishing artificial viscosity method. As a by-product, the known compactness framework \cite{MN2,JR} is applied to show the relaxation limit, as the relation time $ τ$ and $\E,δ$ go to zero, for general pressure $P(ρ)$.
The purpose of this paper is to study radial solutions for steady hydrodynamic model of semiconductors represented by Euler-Poisson equations with sonic boundary. The existence and uniqueness of radial subsonic solution, and the existence of radial supersonic solutions are derived by using the energy method and the compactness method, but under a general condition of the doping profile. In particular, for radial supersonic solutions, it is more difficult to get the related estimates by the effect of high dimensional space and the sonic boundary, so we apply a special iteration to complete the …
For the stationary hydrodynamic model for semiconductors with sonic boundary, represented by Euler-Poisson equations, it possesses the various physical solutions including interior subsonic solutions/interior supersonic solutions/shock transonic solutions/$C^1$-smooth transonic solutions. However, the structural stability for these physical solutions is challenging and has remained open as we know. In this paper, we investigate the structural stability of interior subsonic solutions when the doping profiles are restricted in the subsonic region. The main result is proved by using the local (we…
In this paper, the global well-posedness and stability of classical solutions to the multidimensional hydrodynamic model for semiconductors on the framework of Besov space are considered. We weaken the regularity requirement of the initial data, and improve some known results in Sobolev space. The local existence of classical solutions to the Cauchy problem is obtained by the regularized means and compactness argument. Using the high- and low- frequency decomposition method, we prove the global exponential stability of classical solutions (close to equilibrium). Furthermore, it is also shown t…
We present the new results on stability and semi-classical limit in a semiconductor full quantum hydrodynamic (FQHD) model with non-flat doping profile. The FQHD model can be used to analyze the thermal and quantum influences on the transport of carriers (electrons or holes) in semiconductor device. Inspired by the physical motivation, we consider the initial-boundary value problem of this model over the one-dimensional bounded domain and adopt the ohmic contact boundary condition and the vanishing bohmenian-type boundary condition. Firstly, the existence and asymptotic stability of a stationa…
We are concerned with the global existence and large time behavior of entropy solutions to the one dimensional unipolar hydrodynamic model for semiconductors in the form of Euler-Poisson equations in a bounded interval. In this paper, we first prove the global existence of entropy solution by vanishing viscosity and compensated compactness framework. In particular, the solutions are uniformly bounded with respect to space and time variables by introducing modified Riemann invariants and the theory of invariant region. Based on the uniform estimates of density, we further show that the entropy …
This paper is devoted to the study of the Cauchy problem of incompressible magneto-hydrodynamics system in framework of Besov spaces. In the case of spatial dimension $n\ge 3$ we establish the global well-posedness of the Cauchy problem of incompressible magneto-hydrodynamics system for small data and the local one for large data in Besov space $\dot{B}^{\frac np-1}_{p,r}(\mr^n)$, $1\le p<\infty$ and $1\le r\le\infty$. Meanwhile, we also prove the weak-strong uniqueness of solutions with data in $\dot{B}^{\frac np-1}_{p,r}(\mr^n)\cap L^2(\mr^n)$ for $\frac n{2p}+\frac2r>1$. In case of $n=2$, w…
We present a new hydrodynamic model consisting of the pressureless Euler equations and the isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations where the coupling of two systems is through the drag force. This coupled system can be derived, in the hydrodynamic limit, from the particle-fluid equations that are frequently used to study the medical sprays, aerosols and sedimentation problems. For the proposed system, we first construct the local-in-time classical solutions in an appropriate $L^2$ Sobolev space. We also establish the \emph{a priori} large-time behavior estimate by constructing a Lyapun…
We demonstrate that the solutions to the Cauchy problem for the three dimensional incompressible magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD) system can develop diferent types of norm inflations in $\dot{B}_{\infty}^{-1, \infty}$. Particularly the magnetic field can develop norm inflation in short time even when the velocity remains small and vice verse. Efforts are made to present a very expository development of the inginious construction of Bourgain and Pavlović for Navier-Stokes equations.

In this paper, we study the well-posedness/ill-posedness and regularity of stationary solutions to the hydrodynamic model of semiconductors represented by Euler-Poisson equations with sonic boundary. When the doping profile is subsonic, we prove that, the steady-state equations with sonic boundary possess a unique interior subsonic solution, and at least one interior supersonic solution, and if the relaxation time is large and the doping profile is a small perturbation of constant, then the equations admit infinitely many transonic shock solutions, while, if the relaxation time is small enough…
This paper studies the global existence and uniqueness of strong solutions and its large-time behavior for the compressible isothermal Euler equations with a nonlocal dissipation. The system is rigorously derived from the kinetic Cucker-Smale flocking equation with strong local alignment forces and diffusions through the hydrodynamic limit based on the relative entropy argument. In a perturbation framework, we establish the global existence of a unique strong solution for the system under suitable smallness and regularity assumptions on the initial data. We also provide the large-time behavior…
We consider the hydrodynamics for biaxial nematic phases described by a field of orthonormal frame, which can be derived from a molecular-theory-based tensor model. We prove the uniqueness of global weak solutions to the Cauchy problem of the frame hydrodynamics in dimensional two. The proof is mainly based on the suitable weaker energy estimates within the Littlewood--Paley analysis. We take full advantage of the estimates of nonlinear terms with rotational derivatives on $SO(3)$, together with cancellation relations and dissipative structures of the biaxial frame system.
For unipolar hydrodynamic model of semiconductor device represented by Euler-Poisson equations, when the doping profile is supersonic, the existence of steady transonic shock solutions and C-smooth steady transonic solutions for Euler-Poisson Equations were established in [27] and [41], respectively. In this paper we further study the nonlinear structural stability and the linear dynamic instability of these steady transonic solutions. When the C^1-smooth transonic steady-states pass through the sonic line, they produce singularities for the system, and cause some essential difficulty in the p…
For any bounded smooth domain $Ω\subset\mathbb R^3$, we establish the global existence of a weak solution $u:Ω\times (0,+\infty)\to\mathbb R^3\times\mathbb S^2$ of the initial-boundary value (or the Cauchy) problem of the simplified Ericksen-Leslie system (1.1) modeling the hydrodynamic flow of nematic liquid crystals for any initial and boundary (or Cauchy) data $(u_0. d_0)\in {\bf H}\times H^1(Ω,\mathbb S^2$), with $d_0(Ω)\subset\mathbb S^2_+$ (the upper hemisphere). Furthermore, ($u,d$) satisfies the global energy inequality (1.4).
The classical solution of the 3-D radiative hydrodynamics model is studied in $H^k$-norm under two different conditions, with and without heat conductivity. We have proved the following results in both cases. First, when the $H^k$ norm of the initial perturbation around a constant state is sufficiently small and the integer $k\geq2$, a unique classical solution to such Cauchy problem is shown to exist. Second, if we further assume that the $L^1$ norm of the initial perturbation is small too, the i-order($0\leq i\leq k-2$) derivative of the solutions have the decay rate of $(1+t)^{-\frac 34-\fr…
We study the Cauchy problem for a system of equations corresponding to a singular limit of radiative hydrodynamics, namely the 3D radiative compressible Euler system coupled to an electromagnetic field. Assuming smallness hypotheses for the data, we prove that the problem admits a unique global smooth solution and study its asymptotics.
This paper is concerned with the rigorous analysis of the zero electron mass limit of the full Navier-Stokes-Poisson. This system has been introduced in the literature by Anile and Pennisi (see [5]) in order to describe a hydrodynamic model for charge-carrier transport in semiconductor devices. The purpose of this paper is to prove rigorously zero electron mass limit in the framework of general ill prepared initial data. In this situation the velocity field and the electronic fields develop fast oscillations in time. The main idea we will use in this paper is a combination of formal asymptotic…
In this paper, we study the global wellposedness of a radiation hydrodynamics model with viscosity and thermal conductivity. It is now well-understood that, unlike the compressible Euler equations whose smooth solutions must blow up in finite time no matter how small and how smooth the initial data is, the dissipative structure of such a radiation hydrodynamics model can indeed guarantee that its one-dimensional Cauchy problem admits a unique global smooth solution provided that the initial data is sufficiently small, while for large initial data, even if the heat conductivity is taken into ac…
The global in-time semiclassical and relaxation limits of the bipolar quantum hydrodynamic model for semiconductors are investigated in $R^3$. We prove that the unique strong solution converges globally in time to the strong solution of classical bipolar hydrodynamical equation in the process of semiclassical limit and to that of the classical Drift-Diffusion system under the combined relaxation and semiclassical limits.
We study the Cauchy problem for a system of equations corresponding to a singular limit of radiative hydrodynamics, namely the 3D radiative compressible Euler system coupled to an electromagnetic field through the MHD approximation. Assuming the presence of damping together with suitable smallness hypotheses for the data, we prove that this problem admits a unique global smooth solution.
Geometric Hydrodynamics has flourished ever since the celebrated 1966 paper of V. Arnold. In this paper we present a collection of open problems along with several new constructions in fluid dynamics and a concise survey of recent developments and achievements in this area. The topics discussed include variational settings for different types of fluids, models for invariant metrics, the Cauchy and boundary value problems, partial analyticity of solutions to the Euler equations, their steady and singular vorticity solutions, differential and Hamiltonian geometry of diffeomorphism groups, long-t…
The initial value problem is considered in the present paper for bipolar quantum hydrodynamic model for semiconductors (QHD) in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We prove that the unique strong solution exists globally in time and tends to the asymptotical state with an algebraic rate as $t\to+\infty$. And, we show that the global solution of linearized bipolar QHD system decays in time at an algebraic decay rate from both above and below. This means in general, we can not get exponential time-decay rate for bipolar QHD system, which is different from the case of unipolar QHD model (where global solutions tend …
In this paper, we consider the compressible Euler-Maxwell equations arising in semiconductor physics, which take the form of Euler equations for the conservation laws of mass density and current density for electrons, coupled to Maxwell's equations for self-consistent electromagnetic field. We study the global well-posedness in critical spaces and the limit to zero of some physical parameters in the scaled Euler-Maxwell equations. More precisely, using high- and low-frequency decomposition methods, we first construct uniform (global) classical solutions (around constant equilibrium) to the Cau…
