Cahn-Hillard and Keller-Segel systems as high-friction limits of Euler-Korteweg and Euler-Poisson equations

We consider a combined system of Euler--Korteweg and Euler--Poisson equations with friction and exponential pressure with exponent $γ> 1$. We show the existence of dissipative measure-valued solutions in the cases of repulsive and attractive potential in Euler--Poisson system. The latter case requires additional restriction on $γ$. Furthermore in case of $γ\geq 2$ we show that the strong solutions to the Cahn--Hillard--Keller--Segel system are a high-friction limit of the dissipative measure-valued solutions to Euler--Korteweg--Poisson equations.

On the Selection of Measure-Valued Solutions for the Isentropic Euler System

Measure-valued solutions to fluid equations arise naturally, for instance as vanishing viscosity limits, yet exhibit non-uniqueness to a vast extent. In this paper, we show that some measurevalued solutions to the two-dimensional isentropic compressible Euler equations, although they are energy admissible, can be discarded as unphysical, as they do not arise as vanishing viscosity limits. In fact, these measure-valued solutions also do not arise from a sequence of weak solutions of the Euler equations, in contrast to the incompressible case. Such a phenomenon has already been observed by Chiodaroli, Feireisl, Kreml, and Wiedemann using an $\mathcal{A}$-free rigidity argument, but only for non-deterministic initial datum. We develop their rigidity result to the case of nonconstant states and combine this with a compression wave solution evolving into infinitely many weak solutions, constructed by Chiodaroli, De Lellis, and Kreml. Hereby, we show that there exist infinitely many generalized measure-valued solutions to the two-dimensional isentropic Euler system with quadratic pressure law, which behave deterministically up to a certain time and which cannot be generated by weak solutions with bounded energy or by vanishing viscosity sequences.

Müller-Zhang truncation for general linear constraints with first or second order potential

Let $\mathcal{B}$ be a homogeneous differential operator of order $l=1$ or $l=2$. We show that a sequence of functions of the form $(\mathcal{B}u_j)_j$ converging in the $L^1$-sense to a compact, convex set $K$ can be modified into a sequence converging uniformly to this set provided that the derivatives of order $l$ are uniformly bounded. We prove versions of our result on the whole space, an open domain, and for $K$ varying uniformly continuously on an open, bounded domain. This is a conditional generalization of a theorem proved by S. Müller for sequences of gradients, cf. [6]. Moreover, a potential of order two for the linearized isentropic Euler system is constructed.

Which measure-valued solutions of the monoatomic gas equations are generated by weak solutions?

Contrary to the incompressible case not every measure-valued solution of the compressible Euler equations can be generated by weak solutions or a vanishing viscosity sequence. In the present paper we give sufficient conditions on an admissible measure-valued solution of the isentropic Euler system to be generated by weak solutions. As one of the crucial steps we prove an $L^{\infty}$-variant of Fonseca and Müller's characterization result for generating $\mathcal{A}$-free Young measures in terms of potential operators. More concrete versions of our results are presented in the case of a solution consisting of two Dirac measures. We conclude by discussing also necessary conditions for generating a measure-valued solution by weak solutions or a vanishing viscosity sequence and will point out that the resulting gap mainly results from obtaining only uniform $L^p$-bounds for $1<p<\infty$ instead of $p=\infty$.

Measure-valued low Mach number limits of ideal fluids

As a framework for handling low Mach number limits we consider a notion of measure-valued solution of the incompressible Euler system which explicitly formulates the usually suppressed dependence on the pressure variable. We clarify in which sense such a measure-valued solution is generated as a low Mach limit and state sufficient conditions for this convergence. For the special case of pressure-free solutions we are able to give such sufficient conditions only on the incompressible solution itself. As a necessary condition for low Mach limits we obtain a Jensen-type inequality. The same necessary condition actually holds true for limits of weak solutions or vanishing viscosity limits. We illustrate that this Jensen inequality is not trivially fulfilled. Since measure-valued solutions in the classical sense are always generated by weak solutions, this shows that our solution concept contains more information and low Mach limits lead to a partial selection criterion for incompressible solutions.

Probabilistic Descriptions of Fluid Flow: A Survey

Fluids can behave in a highly irregular, turbulent way. It has long been realised that, therefore, some weak notion of solution is required when studying the fundamental partial differential equations of fluid dynamics, such as the compressible or incompressible Navier-Stokes or Euler equations. The standard concept of weak solution (in the sense of distributions) is still a deterministic one, as it gives exact values for the state variables (like velocity or density) for almost every point in time and space. However, observations and mathematical theory alike suggest that this deterministic viewpoint has certain limitations. Thus, there has been an increased recent interest in the mathematical fluids community in probabilistic concepts of solution. Due to the considerable number of such concepts, it has become challenging to navigate the corresponding literature, both classical and recent. We aim here to give a reasonably concise yet fairly detailed overview of probabilistic formulations of fluid equations, which can roughly be split into measure-valued and statistical frameworks. We discuss both approaches and their relationship, as well as the interrelations between various statistical formulations, focusing on the compressible and incompressible Euler equations.
