Hydrodynamic limit from nonlinear Fokker--Planck to barotropic Euler equations
Abstract
The hydrodynamic limit to the barotropic Euler equations, including power-law pressure $P(\rho)=\rho^\gamma$, for a kinetic nonlinear Fokker--Planck equation with degenerate diffusion is established. This extends the well-known result of the derivation of isothermal Euler equations via Fokker--Planck equation with linear diffusion. We establish the asymptotic analysis using the relative entropy method by quantifying error estimates for pressures and employing the generalized Log-Sobolev inequality for degenerate diffusion.
