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.
We introduce a new concept of dissipative varifold solution to models of two phase compressible viscous fluids. In contrast with the existing approach based on the Young measure description, the new formulation is variational combining the energy and momentum balance in a single inequality. We show the existence of dissipative varifold solutions for a large class of general viscous fluids with non--linear dependence of the viscous stress on the symmetric velocity gradient.
We prove global existence of weak solutions for a version of one velocity Baer-Nunziato system with dissipation describing a mixture of two non interacting viscous compressible fluids in a piecewise regular Lipschitz domain with general inflow/outfow boundary conditions. The geometrical setting is general enough to comply with most current domains important for applications as, for example, (curved) pipes of picewise regular and axis-dependent cross sections. As far as the existence proof is concerned, we adapt to the system the nowaday's classical Lions-Feireisl approach to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations which is combined with a generalization of the theory of renormalized solutions to the transport equations in the spirit of Vasseur-Wen-Yu. The results related to the families of transport equations presented in this paper extend/improve some of statements of the theory of renormalized solutions, and they are therefore of independent interest.
We extend the weak-strong uniqueness principle to general models of compressible viscous fluids near/on the vacuum. In particular, the physically relevant case of positive density with polynomial decay at infinity is considered.
Following Abbatiello et al. [ DCCDS-A (41), 2020], we introduce dissipative turbulent solutions to a simple model of a mixture of two non interacting compressible fluids {\tc filling a bounded domain with general non zero inflow/outflow boundary conditions.} We prove existence of such solutions for all adiabatic coefficients $γ>1$, their compatibility with classical solutions, the relative energy inequality, and the weak strong uniqueness principle in this class. The class of dissipative turbulent solutions is so far the largest class of generalized solutions which still enjoys the weak strong uniqueness property.
We consider the Navier--Stokes--Fourier system in a bounded domain $Ω\subset R^d$, $d=2,3$, with physically realistic in/out flow boundary conditions. We develop a new concept of weak solutions satisfying a general form of relative energy inequality. The weak solutions exist globally in time for any finite energy initial data and comply with the weak--strong uniqueness principle.
We consider the barotropic Navier--Stokes system describing the motion of a viscous compressible fluid interacting with the outer world through general in/out flux boundary conditions. We consider a hard--sphere type pressure EOS and show that all trajectories eventually enter a bounded absorbing set. In particular, the associated omega-limit sets are compact and support a stationary statistical solution.
The construction of weak solutions to compressible Navier-Stokes equations via a numerical method (including a rigorous proof of the convergence) is in a short supply, and so far, available only for one sole numerical scheme suggested in Karper [{\em Numer. Math.}, 125(3) : 441--510, 2013] for the no slip boundary conditions and the isentropic pressure with adiabatic coefficient $γ>3$. Here we consider the same problem for the general non zero inflow-outflow boundary conditions, which is definitely more appropriate setting from the point of view of applications, but which is essentially more involved as far as the existence of weak solutions is concerned. There is a few recent proofs of existence of weak solutions in this setting, but none of them is performed via a numerical method. The goal of this paper is to fill this gap. The existence of weak solutions on the continuous level requires several tools of functional and harmonic analysis and differential geometry whose numerical counterparts are not known. Our main strategy therefore consists in rewriting of the numerical scheme in its variational form modulo remainders and to apply and/or to adapt to the new variational formulation the tools developed in the theoretical analysis. In addition to the result, which is new, the synergy between numerical and theoretical analysis is the main originality of the present paper.
We consider the barotropic Navier--Stokes system describing the motion of a compressible Newtonian fluid in a bounded domain with in and out flux boundary conditions. We show that if the boundary velocity coincides with that of a rigid motion, all solutions converge to an equilibrium state for large times.
We study convergence of a mixed finite element-finite volume scheme for the compressible Navier Stokes equations in the isentropic regime under the full range of the adiabatic coefficient gamma for the problem with general non zero inflow/outflow boundary conditions. We propose a modification of Karper scheme [Numer. Math. 125:441-510, 2013] in order to accommodate the non zero boundary data, prove existence of its solutions, establish the stability and uniform estimates, derive a convenient consistency formulation of the balance laws and use it to show the weak convergence of the numerical solutions to a dissipative solution with the Reynold defect introduced in Abbatiello et al. [Preprint Arxiv 1912.12896]. If the target system admits a strong solution then the convergence is strong towards the strong solution. Moreover, we establish the convergence rate of the strong convergence in terms of the size of the space discretization h (which is supposed to be comparable with the time step). In the case of non zero inflow/outflow boundary data, all results are new. The latter result is new also for the no-slip boundary conditions.
We identify a class maximal dissipative solutions to models of compressible viscous fluids that maximize the energy dissipation rate. Then we show that any maximal dissipative solution approaches an equilibrium state for large times.
We propose a new approach to models of general compressible viscous fluids based on the concept of dissipative solutions. These are weak solutions satisfying the underlying equations modulo a defect measure. A dissipative solution coincides with the strong solution as long as the latter exists (weak-strong uniqueness) and they solve the problem in the classical sense as soon as they are smooth (compatibility). We consider general models of compressible viscous fluids with non-linear viscosity tensor and non-homogeneous boundary conditions, for which the problem of existence of global-in-time weak/strong solutions is largely open.
So far existence of dissipative weak solutions for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations (i.e. weak solutions satisfying the relative energy inequality) is known only in the case of boundary conditions with non zero inflow/outflow (i.e., in particular, when the normal component of the velocity on the boundary of the ow domain is equal to zero). Most of physical applications (as ows in wind tunnels, pipes, reactors of jet engines) requires to consider non-zero inflow-outflow boundary condtions. We prove existence of dissipative weak solutions to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations in barotropic regime (adiabatic coefficient gamma>3/2, in three dimensions, gamma>1 in two dimensions)with large velocity prescribed at the boundary and large density prescribed at the inflow boundary of a bounded piecewise regular Lipschitz domain, without any restriction neither on the shape of the inflow/outflow boundaries nor on the shape of the domain. It is well known that the relative energy inequality has many applications, e.g., to investigation of incompressible or inviscid limits, to the dimension reduction of flows, to the error estimates of numerical schemes. In this paper we deal with one of its basic applications, namely weak-strong uniqueness principle.
We investigate the creation and properties of eventual vacuum regions in the weak solutions of the continuity equation, in general, and in the weak solutions of compressible Navier--Stokes equations, in particular. The main results are based on the analysis of renormalized solutions to the continuity and pure transport equations and their inter-relations which are of independent interest.
The principle purpose of this work is to investigate a "viscous" version of a "simple" but still realistic bi-fluid model described in [Bresch, Desjardin, Ghidaglia, Grenier, Hillairet] whose "non-viscous" version is derived from physical considerations in \cite[Ishii, Hibiki]{ISHI} as a particular sample of a multifluid model with algebraic closure. The goal is to show existence of weak solutions for large initial data on an arbitrarily large time interval. We achieve this goal by transforming the model to an academic system which resembles to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations, with however two continuity equations and a momentum equation endowed with pressure of complicated structure dependent on two variable densities. The new "academic system" is then solved by an adaptation of the Lions--Feireisl approach for solving compressible Navier--Stokes equation, completed with several observations related to the DiPerna--Lions transport theory inspired by [Maltese, Michalek, Mucha, Novotny, Pokorny, Zatorska] and [Vasseur, Wen, Yu]. We also explain how these techniques can be generalized to a model of mixtures with more then two species. This is the first result on the existence of weak solutions for any realistic multifluid system.
We identify a large class of objects - dissipative measure-valued (DMV) solutions to the Navier-Stokes-Fourier system - in which the strong solutions are stable. More precisely, a DMV solution coincides with the strong solution emanating from the same initial data as long as the latter exists. The DMV solutions are represented by parameterized families of measures satisfying certain compatibility conditions. They can be seen as an analogue to the dissipative measure-valued solutions introduced earlier in the context of the (inviscid) Euler system.
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.
We derive the 1D isentropic Euler and Navier-Stokes equations describing the motion of a gas through a nozzle of variable cross section as the asymptotic limit of the 3D isentropic Navier-Stokes system in a cylinder, the diameter of which tends to zero. Our method is based on the relative energy inequality satisfied by any weak solution of the 3D Navier-Stokes system and a variant of Korn-Poincare's inequality on thin channels that may be of independent interest.
