Mach limits in analytic spaces on exterior domains

We address the Mach limit problem for the Euler equations in an exterior domain with analytic boundary. We first prove the existence of tangential analytic vector fields for the exterior domain with constant analyticity radii, and introduce an analytic norm in which we distinguish derivatives taken from different directions. Then we prove the uniform boundedness of the solutions in the analytic space on a time interval independent of the Mach number, and Mach limit holds in the analytic norm. The results extends more generally to Gevrey initial data with convergence in a Gevrey norm.

Passage from the Boltzmann equation with Diffuse Boundary to the Incompressible Euler equation with Heat Convection

We derive the incompressible Euler equations with heat convection with the no-penetration boundary condition from the Boltzmann equation with the diffuse boundary in the hydrodynamic limit for the scale of large Reynold number. Inspired by the recent framework in [30], we consider the Navier-Stokes-Fourier system with no-slip boundary conditions as an intermediary approximation and develop a Hilbert-type expansion of the Boltzmann equation around the global Maxwellian that allows the nontrivial heat transfer by convection in the limit. To justify our expansion and the limit, a new direct estimate of the heat flux and its derivatives in the Navier-Stokes-Fourier system is established adopting a recent Green's function approach in the study of the inviscid limit.

Larson-Penston Self-similar Gravitational Collapse

Using numerical integration, in 1969 Penston [22] and Larson [17] independently discovered a self-similar solution describing the collapse of a self-gravitating asymptotically flat fluid with the isothermal equation of state $p=k\varrho$, $k>0$, and subject to Newtonian gravity. We rigorously prove the existence of such a Larson-Penston solution.

Global existence of the nonisentropic compressible Euler equations with vacuum boundary surrounding a variable entropy state

Global existence for the nonisentropic compressible Euler equations with vacuum boundary for all adiabatic constants $γ> 1$ is shown through perturbations around a rich class of background nonisentropic affine motions. The notable feature of the nonisentropic motion lies in the presence of non-constant entropies, and it brings a new mathematical challenge to the stability analysis of nonisentropic affine motions. In particular, the estimation of the curl terms requires a careful use of algebraic, nonlinear structure of the pressure. With suitable regularity of the underlying affine entropy, we are able to adapt the weighted energy method developed for the isentropic Euler by Hadžić and Jang to the nonisentropic problem. For large $γ$ values, inspired by Shkoller and Sideris, we use time-dependent weights that allow some of the top-order norms to potentially grow as the time variable tends to infinity. We also exploit coercivity estimates here via the fundamental theorem of calculus in time variable for norms which are not top-order.

Incompressible Euler limit from Boltzmann equation with Diffuse Boundary Condition for Analytic data

A rigorous derivation of the incompressible Euler equations with the no-penetration boundary condition from the Boltzmann equation with the diffuse reflection boundary condition has been a challenging open problem. We settle this open question in the affirmative when the initial data of fluid are well-prepared in a real analytic space, in 3D half space. As a key of this advance we capture the Navier-Stokes equations of $$\textit{viscosity} \sim \frac{\textit{Knudsen number}}{\textit{Mach number}}$$ satisfying the no-slip boundary condition, as an $\textit{intermediary}$ approximation of the Euler equations through a new Hilbert-type expansion of Boltzmann equation with the diffuse reflection boundary condition. Aiming to justify the approximation we establish a novel quantitative $L^p$-$L^\infty$ estimate of the Boltzmann perturbation around a local Maxwellian of such viscous approximation, along with the commutator estimates and the integrability gain of the hydrodynamic part in various spaces; we also establish direct estimates of the Navier-Stokes equations in higher regularity with the aid of the initial-boundary and boundary layer weights using a recent Green's function approach. The incompressible Euler limit follows as a byproduct of our framework.

Linearized Analysis of Barotropic Perturbations around Spherically Symmetric Gaseous Stars Governed by the Euler-Poisson Equations

The hydrodynamic evolution of self-gravitating gaseous stars is governed by the Euler-Poisson equations. We study the structure of the linear approximation of barotropic perturbations around spherically symmetric equilibria based on functional analytic tools. In contrast to folklore, we show that the spectrum of the linearized operator for general perturbations is not of the Sturm-Liouville type unless the perturbations are restricted. In particular, we prove that it is of the Sturm-Liouville type for irrotational perturbations.

Continued Gravitational Collapse for Newtonian Stars

The classical model of an isolated selfrgavitating gaseous star is given by the Euler-Poisson system with a polytropic pressure law $P(ρ)=ρ^γ$, $γ>1$. For any $1<γ<\frac43$, we construct an infinite-dimensional family of collapsing solutions to the Euler-Poisson system whose density is in general space inhomogeneous and undergoes gravitational blowup along a prescribed space-time surface, with continuous mass absorption at the origin. The leading order singular behavior is described by an explicit collapsing solution of the pressureless Euler-Poisson system.

On Rotating Axisymmetric Solutions of the Euler-Poisson Equations

We consider stationary axisymmetric solutions of the Euler-Poisson equations, which govern the internal structure of barotropic gaseous stars. We take the general form of the equation of states which cover polytropic gaseous stars indexed by $6/5<γ<2$ and also white dwarfs. A generic condition of the existence of stationary solutions with differential rotation is given, and the existence of slowly rotating configurations near spherically symmetric equilibria is shown. The problem is formulated as a nonlinear integral equation, and is solved by an application of the infinite dimensional implicit function theorem. Oblateness of star surface is shown and also relationship between the central density and the total mass is given.

Nonuniqueness for the kinetic Fokker-Planck equation with inelastic boundary conditions

We describe the structure of solutions of the kinetic Fokker-Planck equations in domains with boundaries near the singular set in one-space dimension. We study in particular the behaviour of the solutions of this equation for inelastic boundary conditions which are characterized by means of a coefficient $r$ describing the amount of energy lost in the collisions of the particles with the boundaries of the domain. A peculiar feature of this problem is the onset of a critical exponent rc which follows from the analysis of McKean (cf. [26]) of the properties of the stochastic process associated to the Fokker-Planck equation under consideration. In this paper, we prove rigorously that the solutions of the considered problem are nonunique if $r < r_c$ and unique if $r_{c}<r\leq 1$. In particular, this nonuniqueness explains the different behaviours found in the physics literature for numerical simulations of the stochastic differential equation associated to the Fokker-Planck equation. In the proof of the results of this paper we use several asymptotic formulas and computations in the companion paper [16].

On the structure of the singular set for the kinetic Fokker-Planck equations in domains with boundaries

In this paper we compute asymptotics of solutions of the kinetic Fokker-Planck equation with inelastic boundary conditions which indicate that the solutions are nonunique if $r < r_c$. The nonuniqueness is due to the fact that different solutions can interact in a different manner with a Dirac mass which appears at the singular point $(x,v)=(0,0)$. In particular, this nonuniqueness explains the different behaviours found in the physics literature for numerical simulations of the stochastic differential equation associated to the kinetic Fokker-Planck equation. The asymptotics obtained in this paper will be used in a companion paper [34] to prove rigorously nonuniqueness of solutions for the kinetic Fokker-Planck equation with inelastic boundary conditions.

A class of global solutions to the Euler-Poisson system

Using recent developments in the theory of globally defined expanding compressible gases, we construct a class of global-in-time solutions to the compressible 3-D Euler-Poisson system without any symmetry assumptions in both the gravitational and the plasma case. Our allowed range of adiabatic indices includes, but is not limited to all $γ$ of the form $γ=1+\frac1n$, $n\in\mathbb N\setminus\{1\}$. The constructed solutions have initially small densities and a compact support. As $t\to\infty$ the density scatters to zero and the support grows at a linear rate in $t$.

Expanding large global solutions of the equations of compressible fluid mechanics

In a recent work Sideris constructed a finite-parameter family of compactly supported affine solutions to the three-dimensional isentropic compressible Euler equations satisfying the physical vacuum condition. The support of these solutions expands at a linear rate in time. We show that if the adiabatic exponent $γ$ belongs to the interval $(1,\frac53]$, then these affine motions are nonlinearly stable. Small perturbations lead to globally-in-time defined solutions that remain in the vicinity of the manifold of affine motions, they remain smooth in the interior of their support, and no shocks are formed in the process. Our strategy relies on two key ingredients. We first provide a new interpretation of the affine motions using an (almost) invariant action of GL$^+(3)$ on the compressible Euler system. This transformation dictates a particular rescaling of time and a change of variables, which in turn exposes a stabilization mechanism induced by the expansion of the background affine motions when $γ\in(1,\frac53]$. We then switch to a Lagrangian description of the rescaled Euler system which reflects the geometry of expanding affine motions. We introduce new ideas with respect to the existing well-posedness frameworks and build high-order energy spaces to prove global-in-time stability, thereby making crucial use of the new stabilization effect

On slowly rotating axisymmetric solutions of the Euler-Poisson equations

We construct stationary axisymmetric solutions of the Euler-Poisson equations, which govern the internal structure of polytropic gaseous stars, with small constant angular velocity when the adiabatic exponent $γ$ belongs to $(\frac65,\frac32]$. The problem is formulated as a nonlinear integral equation, and is solved by iteration technique. By this method, not only we get the existence, but also we clarify properties of the solutions such as the physical vacuum condition and oblateness of the star surface.

Nonlinear stability of expanding star solutions in the radially-symmetric mass-critical Euler-Poisson system

We prove nonlinear stability of compactly supported expanding star-solutions of the mass-critical gravitational Euler-Poisson system. These special solutions were discovered by Goldreich and Weber in 1980. The expanding rate of such solutions can be either self-similar or non-self-similar (linear), and we treat both types. An important outcome of our stability results is the existence of a new class of global-in-time radially symmetric solutions, which are not homogeneous and therefore not encompassed by the existing works. Using Lagrangian coordinates we reformulate the associated free-boundary problem as a degenerate quasilinear wave equation on a compact spatial domain. The problem is mass-critical with respect to an invariant rescaling and the analysis is carried out in similarity variables.

Lagrangian formulation and a priori estimates for relativistic fluid flows with vacuum

We study the evolution of a compressible fluid surrounded by vacuum and introduce a new symmetrization in Lagrangian coordinates that allows us to encompass both relativistic and non-relativistic fluid flows. The problem under consideration is a free boundary problem of central interest in compressible fluid dynamics and, from the mathematical standpoint, the main challenge to be overcome lies in the loss of regularity in the fluid variables near the free boundary. Based on our Lagrangian formulation, we establish the necessary a priori estimates in weighted Sobolev spaces which are adapted to this loss of regularity.

The compressible viscous surface-internal wave problem: local well-posedness

This paper concerns the dynamics of two layers of compressible, barotropic, viscous fluid lying atop one another. The lower fluid is bounded below by a rigid bottom, and the upper fluid is bounded above by a trivial fluid of constant pressure. This is a free boundary problem: the interfaces between the fluids and above the upper fluid are free to move. The fluids are acted on by gravity in the bulk, and at the free interfaces we consider both the case of surface tension and the case of no surface forces. We prove that the problem is locally well-posed. Our method relies on energy methods in Sobolev spaces for a collection of related linear and nonlinear problems.

The compressible viscous surface-internal wave problem: nonlinear Rayleigh-Taylor instability

This paper concerns the dynamics of two layers of compressible, barotropic, viscous fluid lying atop one another. The lower fluid is bounded below by a rigid bottom, and the upper fluid is bounded above by a trivial fluid of constant pressure. This is a free boundary problem: the interfaces between the fluids and above the upper fluid are free to move. The fluids are acted on by gravity in the bulk, and at the free interfaces we consider both the case of surface tension and the case of no surface forces. We are concerned with the Rayleigh-Taylor instability when the upper fluid is heavier than the lower fluid along the equilibrium interface. When the surface tension at the free internal interface is below the critical value, we prove that the problem is nonlinear unstable.
