Global existence and time decay for a bipolar Euler-Poisson system with one pressureless and undamped fluid

We study the Cauchy problem for a three-dimensional bipolar Euler--Poisson system in which one fluid is pressureless and undamped, while the other is subject to momentum relaxation. For sufficiently small smooth perturbations of a constant equilibrium, we prove the global existence and uniqueness of smooth solutions under an irrotationality assumption on the initial velocity of the pressureless fluid, together with algebraic time-decay estimates. The main difficulty is that the velocity of the pressureless fluid is dissipated only indirectly through the Poisson coupling, and this mechanism degenerates strongly at high frequencies, leading to a regularity-loss structure. We overcome this difficulty by combining refined Green-function estimates, a low--middle--high frequency decomposition, and high-order nonlinear energy estimates adapted to the asymmetric regularity hierarchy. The result establishes a global small-data theory for this asymmetric regime, in which pressure and damping are simultaneously absent from the same fluid.

Well-Posedness and Asymptotic Decay of Solutions to the Three-Dimensional Euler Equations with Damping

The global well-posedness of the multi-dimensional compressible Euler equations with damping remains a longstanding open problem. This problem has been partially resolved in the isentropic regime ({\it i.e.}, the adiabatic exponent $γ>1$) for small smooth initial data (see \cite{WY, STW}). In this paper, we establish the global well-posedness and asymptotic decay of smooth solutions of the Cauchy problem of the three-dimensional compressible Euler equations with damping for the isentropic regime $γ>1$ and the isothermal regime $γ=1$, allowing for partially large initial data. More precisely, the $L^2$-norm of the initial data is allowed to be large, while the third-order Sobolev norm of the initial data is assumed to be small. For the isentropic case, we develop a new analytical framework in which all required {\it a priori} estimates of solution $(ρ,u)$ can be derived under the condition that $\int_0^T \big( \|\nablaρ\|_{L^\infty} + \|\nabla u\|_{L^\infty} \big) \, \mathrm{d}t$ remains sufficiently small. Moreover, we obtain the optimal algebraic decay rates of global solutions. Furthermore, we study the isothermal limit of solutions of the isentropic regime as $γ\to 1$, and establish the global well-posedness and asymptotic decay of solutions to the isothermal Euler equations with damping.

Global dynamics of damped Euler systems with exterior potentials

We study the three-dimensional isothermal Euler equations with linear damping and an exterior potential. For sufficiently large damping, we prove global well-posedness for arbitrarily large initial data by combining a parabolic comparison principle with scaled high-order energy estimates ensuring uniform density bounds. In the small-data regime with arbitrary damping, we establish global classical solutions and derive sharp algebraic decay rates via spectral analysis and frequency decomposition, and further prove their optimality under a mild non-degeneracy condition. Finally, for the pressureless damped system, we construct a weighted functional showing that solutions can blow up in finite time when the damping is insufficient, highlighting a qualitative difference from the pressured case.

Asymptotic flocking dynamics of Relativistic-Cucker-Smale particles immersed in incompressible Navier-Stokes equations

In this paper, we propose a coupled system describing the interaction between the Relativistic Cucker-Smale model and the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations via a drag force, and establish a global existence theory as well as the time-asymptotic behavior of the proposed model in $\mathbb{T}^3$. It is shown that the coupled system exhibits an exponential alignment under some specific assumptions, and that weak solutions exist globally for general initial data.

Enhanced dissipation and temporal decay in the Euler-Poisson-Navier-Stokes equations

This paper investigates the global well-posedness and large-time behavior of solutions for a coupled fluid model in $\mathbb{R}^3$ consisting of the isothermal compressible Euler-Poisson system and incompressible Navier-Stokes equations coupled through the drag force. Notably, we exploit the dissipation effects inherent in the Poisson equation to achieve a faster decay of fluid density compared to velocities. This strategic utilization of dissipation, together with the influence of the electric field and the damping structure induced by the drag force, leads to a remarkable decay behavior: the fluid density converges to equilibrium at a rate of $(1+t)^{-11/4}$, significantly faster than the decay rates of velocity differences $(1+t)^{-7/4}$ and velocities themselves $(1+t)^{-3/4}$ in the $L^2$ norm. Furthermore, under the condition of vanishing coupled incompressible flow, we demonstrate an exponential decay to a constant state for the solution of the corresponding system, the damped Euler-Poisson system.

Global well-posedness and large-time behavior of classical solutions to the Euler-Navier-Stokes system in R^3

In this paper, we study the Cauchy problem of a two-phase flow system consisting of the compressible isothermal Euler equations and the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations coupled through the drag force, which can be formally derived from the Vlasov-Fokker-Planck/incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. When the initial data is a small perturbation around an equilibrium state, we prove the global well-posedness of the classical solutions to this system and show the solutions tends to the equilibrium state as time goes to infinity. In order to resolve the main difficulty arising from the pressure term of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, we properly use the Hodge decomposition, spectral analysis, and energy method to obtain the $L^2$ time decay rates of the solution when the initial perturbation belongs to $L^1$ space. Furthermore, we show that the above time decay rates are optimal.

Global well-posedness and optimal time decay rates of solutions to the pressureless Euler-Navier-Stokes system

In this paper, we present a new framework for the global well-posedness and large-time behavior of a two-phase flow system, which consists of the pressureless Euler equations and incompressible Navier-Stokes equations coupled through the drag force. To overcome the difficulties arising from the absence of the pressure term in the Euler equations, we establish the time decay estimates of the high-order derivative of the velocity to obtain uniform estimates of the fluid density. The upper bound decay rates are obtained by designing a new functional and the lower bound decay rates are achieved by selecting specific initial data. Moreover, the upper bound decay rates are the same order as the lower one. Therefore, the time decay rates are optimal. When the fluid density in the pressureless Euler flow vanishes, the system is reduced into an incompressible Navier-Stokes flow. In this case, our works coincide with the classical results by Schonbek \cite{M.S3} [JAMS,1991], which can be regarded as a generalization from a single fluid model to the two-phase fluid one.
