Boundary Value Problems volume 2015, Article number: 192 (2015)
Abstract
In this paper, we study the existence of second order smooth solutions for the initial boundary value problem of Euler equation satisfying the γ-law with damping and axial symmetry. After a series of transformations, we can choose the γ in an appropriate scope to make sure the estimates of the \(C^{2}\) norm of the solutions are bounded when the damping is strong enough.
1 Introduction
The Euler equation is one of the most important fundamental equations in inviscid fluid dynamics, which describes the motion of a fluid in \(\mathbb{R}^{d}\). The existence, uniqueness, and the regularity of solutions of Euler equations are three popular research topics. In the case of periodic boundary conditions and for arbitrary dimension \(d\geq2\), there exist infinitely many global weak solutions for the incompressible Euler equation with initial data [1]. Zhang and Zheng [2] constructed a two parameter family of self-similar solutions to both the compressible and the incompressible 2D Euler equations with axisymmetry. They also provided the vortical and self-similar solutions for 2D compressible Euler equations using a separation method [3]. The stationary classical solutions of the incompressible Euler equation approximating singular stationary solutions of this equation have been constructed in [4]. The global existence and uniqueness of the classical solutions to the initial boundary value problem for the 3D damped compressible Euler equation have been proved on a bounded domain with slip boundary condition when the initial data is near its equilibrium [5]. A smooth solution of the 2D Euler equation on a bounded domain exists and is unique in a natural class locally in time, but it blows up in finite time in the sense of its vorticity losing continuity [6]. There are also some exact blowup solutions to the pressureless Euler equations [7]. If the domain and the initial data are smooth, results on the global smooth solutions of the 2D Euler equation go back to the 1930s. Marin [8] studied the temporal behavior of the solutions of some equations which are applied in our daily life. The global existence of regular solutions for Cauchy and initial boundary value problem of one dimensional quasilinear hyperbolic systems has been extensively investigated (see [2, 3, 8–18]). There exist global smooth solutions for the 2D Euler equation with symmetry [19]. The 3D inviscid model with an appropriate Neumann-Robin boundary condition was developed with a finite time singularity in an axisymmetric domain and this model has global smooth solutions for a class of a large smooth initial data with some appropriate boundary condition [20].
The contribution of our work is a study of the second order smooth solutions for the 2D compressible isentropic Euler equation with axial symmetry and damping outside a core region. We mainly use characteristic methods. Some appropriate conditions are given which guarantee the existence of second order smooth solutions. The study is based on the technical estimation of the \(C^{2}\) norm of the solution.
The rest of the paper is organized as follows. Section 2 introduces the 2D Euler equation with axial symmetry and damping and gives the conclusion that there exists one order smooth solutions for Euler equation with symmetry [19]. In Section 3, the boundedness of \(C^{2}\) norm of solutions is obtained under some assumptions. In Section 4, we get the existence of second order smooth solutions for 2D Euler equation with symmetry outside a core region.
2 2D Euler equation with axial symmetry and damping
Consider the 2D compressible and polytropic Euler equation with damping
where \(P=K^{2}\tilde{\rho}^{\gamma}\) and the friction \(\alpha>0\) is a constant. Here ρ, \((u,v)\), \(P(\rho)\) are the density, velocity, and pressure, respectively. We consider (1) with axisymmetry, i.e., we look for the solutions satisfying
where \((r,\theta)\) are the polar coordinates. Under (2), (1) can be written as
where \(h_{r}=K^{2}\gamma\tilde{\rho}^{\gamma-2}\tilde{\rho}_{r}\) is the entropy.
In this section, we are going to study system (3) outside a core region, i.e. \(1\leq r\leq\infty\), with initial and boundary data given by
According to a series of transformations (refer to [19]), we obtain
where \(r=1+\int_{0}^{x}\sigma(s,t)\,ds\) and \(x\geq0\). In order to symmetrize the system (5), we introduce the Riemann invariants
hence (5) can be written as
where \(\lambda=-K\sqrt{\gamma}r^{-\frac{\gamma-1}{2}}\sigma^{-\frac {\gamma-1}{2}}\) and \(\mu=K\sqrt{\gamma}r^{-\frac{\gamma-1}{2}}\sigma ^{-\frac{\gamma-1}{2}}\) are two characteristics for (6). The corresponding initial and boundary conditions for (7) are
and
In this section, we always assume the initial and boundary conditions satisfy
where δ is a positive constant and \(\mu_{0}(x)\) and \(\lambda _{0}(x)\) are the two given characteristics at \(t=0\).
Lemma 2.1 gives the \(C^{0}\) norm estimate for solutions inside the region of smooth solutions.
Lemma 2.1
[19]
Under the conditions (8) and (9), if
then when \(\alpha>\frac{(\gamma-1)M_{2}+\sqrt{(\gamma -1)M_{2}^{2}+16(\gamma-1)M_{1}^{2}}}{8}\), we have
and
where \((x,t)\) is in the region of smooth solutions and \(M_{3}=\frac {M_{1}^{2}}{2\alpha}+M_{2}\).
The \(M_{i}\) (\(i\geq3\)) appearing in the rest of this paper are positive constants depending on \(M_{1}\), \(M_{2}\), and δ.
Next we estimate the derivatives of \(w(x,t)\), \(z(x,t)\) and \(v(x,t)\) with respect to x.
Let \(P(x,t)=w_{x}(x,t)\), \(Q(x,t)=z_{x}(x,t)\), \(R(x,t)=v_{x}(x,t)\). We have the following system for P, Q, and R:
and let
where \(A= (\frac{\gamma-1}{4k\sqrt{\gamma}} )^{\frac{\gamma +1}{\gamma-1}}\), \(l=-\frac{\gamma+1}{2(\gamma-1)}\), \(m=-\frac{3-\gamma }{2(\gamma-1)}\). We have the following lemma.
Lemma 2.2
[19]
Under the conditions of Lemma 2.1, if \(1<\gamma<\frac{5}{3}\) or \(\frac {5}{3}<\gamma<3\), and α being sufficiently large, there exists a constant \(M_{4}\) such that if
we have
Combining Lemma 2.1 and (15), we know that
where \(R_{0}\) is a positive constant depending only on \(M_{3}\), \(\Vert R(x,0)\Vert _{C^{0}}\).
Remark 1
According to Lemma 2.2 and (6), we obtain \(u_{x}=\frac{P+Q}{2}\), and \(\rho_{x}=\frac{1}{r}+\frac{2}{\gamma-1} (\frac{\gamma -1}{4K\sqrt{\gamma}} )^{\frac{2}{\gamma-1}}(w-z)^{\frac{3-\gamma }{\gamma-1}}(P-Q)r\). Then
and the \(C^{1}\) norm estimate for solutions inside the region of smooth solutions is proved. So we get the existence of one order global smooth solution for (3) and (4).
3 The boundedness of \(C^{2}\) norm of solutions for 2D Euler equation with symmetry outside a core region
For convenience, we list some equations which will be used later:
where we have used the notation \(\frac{d}{d_{\mu}t}=\frac{\partial }{\partial t}+\mu\frac{\partial}{\partial x}\), \(\frac{d}{d_{\lambda }t}=\frac{\partial}{\partial t}+\lambda\frac{\partial}{\partial x}\), and
Now we estimate the derivatives of \(w_{x}(x,t)\), \(z_{x}(x,t)\) and \(v_{x}(x,t)\) with respect to x.
Let \(\mathbb{H}(x,t)=w_{xx}(x,t)\), \(\mathbb{I}(x,t)=z_{xx}(x,t)\), \(\mathbb{L}(x,t)=v_{xx}(x,t)\). We have the following system for \(\mathbb {H}\), \(\mathbb{I}\), and \(\mathbb{L}\):
where \(1<\gamma<\frac{5}{3}\) or \(\frac{5}{3}<\gamma<3\), and
Under the a priori estimate of \(\mathbb{H}\) and \(\mathbb{I}\), using the property of P, Q, R, w, z, v and (24), we have
where \(\mathbb{L}_{0}\) is a positive constant depending only on \(M_{3}\), \(\Vert \mathbb{L}(x,0)\Vert _{C^{0}}\). We estimate the boundedness of \(\mathbb{H}\) and \(\mathbb{I}\) as follows. Let
where \(s_{1}=s_{4}=s_{5}=-\frac{\gamma+1}{\gamma-1}<0\), \(s_{2}=s_{3}=-1\), \(s_{6}=0\), and let
According to (26), (27), we know that if we deduced the boundedness of \(\overline{\mathbb{H}}\) and \(\overline{\mathbb{I}}\), the boundedness of \(\mathbb{H}\) and \(\mathbb{I}\) is apparent. Comparing (26) with (22), and together with (28), we have
and also combining (27), (23), and (28), we can obtain
where
and
In order to get the relationship between \(\overline{\mathbb{H}}_{t}+\mu\overline{ \mathbb{H}}_{x}\) and \(\mathbb{H}\) and the relationship between \(\overline{\mathbb{I}}_{t}+\lambda\overline{ \mathbb{I}}_{x}\) and \(\mathbb{I}\), we must choose the proper \(c_{i}\), \(d_{i}\), \(i=1,\ldots,6\), such that
This implies
Thus, the coefficient of \(\mathbb{I}\) in (29) and the coefficient of \(\mathbb{H}\) in (30) become zero. We can now proceed to obtain
Substituting (26) and (27) into (34) and (35), respectively, we can deduce that
In order to simplify (36) and (37), we let
and
Using the definition of \(\frac{d}{d_{\mu} t}\) and \(\frac{d}{d_{\lambda} t}\), (36) and (37) become
where \(\varepsilon (r, \frac{1}{r}, w, z, P, Q )\) denotes the function depending on r, \(\frac{1}{r}\), w, z, P, Q, and \(\chi_{i} (r, \frac{1}{r}, w-z, w+z, P-Q, P+Q )\) (\(i=1, 2\)) denotes the function depending on r, \(\frac{1}{r}\), \(w-z\), \(w+z\), \(P-Q\), \(P+Q\), then \(\vert \varepsilon \vert \leq M_{7}\), \(\vert \chi_{1}\vert \leq M_{8}\), \(\vert \chi_{2}\vert \leq M_{8}\).
The following theorem gives the boundedness of \(\overline{\mathbb{H}}\) and \(\overline{\mathbb{I}}\), which is defined in (26) and (27).
Theorem 3.1
Under the conditions \(\vert P(x,t)\vert \leq M_{4}\), \(\vert Q(x,t)\vert \leq M_{4}\), \(\vert R(x,t)\vert \leq R_{0}\), \(\vert w(x,t)\vert \leq M_{3}\), \(\vert z(x,t)\vert \leq M_{3}\), \(\vert v(x,t)\vert \leq M_{1}e^{-\alpha t}\), then when α is sufficiently large, we have
Proof
Multiplying (40) by \(\overline{\mathbb{H}}\) and using the Young inequality, we obtain
Referring to the proof of Theorem 2.2 in [19], we know that
Due to the boundedness of ε and when α is sufficiently large, we can see that
which implies the following:
and using the Gronwall inequality, we have
In a similar way,
We have completed the proof. □
4 The existence of the second order smooth solutions of Euler equation with axial symmetry outside a core region
The main result of this paper, which is the existence of the second order smooth solutions of this equation, is in the following theorem.
Theorem 4.1
Under the assumptions of \(1<\gamma<\frac {5}{3}\) or \(\frac{5}{3}<\gamma<3\) and α being sufficiently large, there exists second order smooth solutions of (3) and (4).
Proof
According to Theorem 3.1 and (26), (27), we have \(\vert \mathbb{H}\vert \leq M_{10}\), \(\vert \mathbb{I}\vert \leq M_{10}\). Using (6), we obtain
and
because of the boundedness of P, Q, R, w, z, v, we know that
So we get the existence of the second order smooth solution of (3) and (4). We have completed the proof. □
5 Conclusion
In this paper, we have derived the existence of the second order smooth solutions for the 2D compressible isentropic Euler equation with axial symmetry and damping outside a core region. Compared to the transformation about (1), the proof seems much more simple. Based on the results of Lemma 2.1 and Lemma 2.2, we have obtained the boundedness of \(C^{2}\) norm of the solutions. These are the improvement and innovation for the existing result in [19].
