Abstract

We study numerically the standard one pressure model of two fluid flows with energy equations. This system is not solved in time derivative. It has been transformed into an equivalent system solved in time derivative. We show that the scheme in this paper applies to both solved and nonsolved systems and gives same results. One usually adds a nonphysical term to render the system hyperbolic. However, explicit solutions and well posedness of the Cauchy problem for some nonlinear nonhyperbolic systems of physics have been obtained in some events by [B. Keyfitz et al.]. We also show that our scheme applies equally well to both versions, with and without the additional term, whether solved in time derivative or not, which provides four versions of the system. We observe that the nonhyperbolic and the hyperbolic systems give very close but slightly different results: the step values are always the same but peaks in gas and liquid velocities are observed in the nonhyperbolic model, which is typically observed in experimental results concerning the gas kick phenomenon though we are unable to say if this result is related or not. The numerical quality of the hyperbolic solved in time derivative system is better, therefore our results (same pressure and temperatures, and same step values in volume fraction and velocities besides the isolated peaks) provide a justification of the additional term that renders it hyperbolic. Another difficulty lies in that these systems are in nonconservative form and therefore its discontinuous solutions cannot make sense in the theory of distributions and it has been observed that different numerical schemes can lead to different discontinuous solutions. For the hyperbolic system this solution is identical to the main one in [S.T. Munkejord, S. Evje, T. Flatten] obtained from completely different methods.

Well-posedness of the two-dimensional unsteady Prandtl system in Sobolev space with degenerate critical points

This paper is devoted to the well-posedness of classical Prandtl equations in a finite order Sobolev space. For a initial data with degenerate critical points and general outflow, we obtain the local-in-time existence and uniqueness of the solution to the Prandtl equations in a Sobolev space, by introducing a new iteration scheme and linear cancelation. This result shows that Oleinik's monotonicity condition is not a necessary condition for the Prandtl equations to be well-posed in Sobolev spaces and provides evidence to demonstrate that zero shear stress does not necessarily lead to boundary layer separation in two-dimensional unsteady boundary layers.

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.

Boundary layer of 2D Chemotaxis Navier-Stokes equations with logarithmic Sensitivity. II. viscous vanishing limit

This is the second part of a two-part work concerning boundary layer solutions to the coupled Chemotaxis-Navier-Stokes system in the two-dimensional half-space. In the present work, we address the convergence of boundary layer solutions to singular chemotaxis-fluid equations under slip boundary conditions with respect to the chemical diffusion-viscosity parameter $\varepsilon$ in the two-dimensional half-plane. More precisely, we show that the boundary layer for $\varepsilon>0$ (viscous convection coefficient) converges to the superposition of the outer layer (solution with $\varepsilon=0$) and the inner layer as $\varepsilon\rightarrow0$. The outer and inner profiles are explicitly derived as in the first part\cite{WWZ}. Furthermore, the well-posedness results of the coupled Chemotaxis-Navier-Stokes system in conormal Sobolev spaces will be presented in Appendix. They answer the question mentioned in the first part of the two-part work. This study could help the understanding of the chemotactic movement of aerobic bacteria to the water-air surface observed experimentally in fluids, and enrich the theoretical results of boundary layer in chemotactic fluid models.
