Continuous sonic-supersonic flows in two-dimensional infinitely long divergent nozzles

Abstract

This paper concerns continuous sonic-supersonic flows in a two-dimensional infinitely long divergent nozzle with straight solid walls. For a given inlet that is a small perturbation of an arc centered at the vertex of the nozzle, we establish the global existence and uniqueness of a continuous sonic-supersonic potential flow which is close to the radially symmetric sonic-supersonic flow. The flow is sonic at the inlet, with its velocity along the normal direction, and becomes supersonic in the nozzle. Such a sonic-supersonic model is governed by a quasilinear nonstrictly hyperbolic equation with degeneracy at the inlet, and the degeneracy is weak in the sense that there exist exactly two distinct characteristics from each sonic point, except for those at the walls, pointing into the supersonic region. One of the crucial ingredients of the analysis is to obtain the precise asymptotic behavior near the sonic inlet by the method of characteristics, which is essential for establishing the local existence of continuous sonic-supersonic flows. Another one is to extend the local solution globally and derive uniform estimates in the supersonic region.

Large friction limit of compressible Navier--Stokes equations with Navier boundary conditions in a half-space

We study the large-friction limit for the three-dimensional barotropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations in a half-space. The velocity satisfies a Navier boundary condition with friction coefficient $α>0$, while the limiting problem satisfies the no-slip boundary condition. We establish estimates for local-in-time smooth solutions that are uniform in $α$ and prove strong convergence of the density and velocity as $α\to\infty$. For weak solutions, we use the Lagrangian flow maps associated with the two velocities to compare the densities and construct suitable transported test functions. This yields weak convergence to the no-slip solution. Our results provide a compressible counterpart of the large-friction limit for incompressible flows.

Bochner-Riesz means for critical magnetic Schrödinger operators in ${\mathbb R^2}$

We study $L^p$-boundedness of the Bochner-Riesz means for critical magnetic Schrödinger operators $\LL_{\A}$ in ${\mathbb R^2}$, which involve the {physical} Aharonov-Bohm potential. We show that for $1\leq p\leq +\infty$ and $p\not= 2$, the Bochner-Riesz operator $S_λ^δ(\LL_{\A})$ of order $δ$ is bounded on $L^p(\R^2)$ if and only if $δ>\max\big\{0, 2\big|1/2-1/p\big|-1/2\big\}$. The new ingredient {in} the proof is to obtain the localized $L^4(\R^2)$ estimate of $S_λ^δ(\LL_{\A})$, whose kernel is heavily affected by the physical magnetic diffraction, and more singular than the classical Bochner-Riesz means $S_λ^δ(Δ)$ for the Laplacian $Δ$ in ${\mathbb R}^2$.

Solitons, scattering and blow-up for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with combined power-type nonlinearities on $\mathbb{R}^d\times\mathbb{T}$

We investigate the long time dynamics of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) with combined powers on the waveguide manifold $\mathbb{R}^d\times\mathbb{T}$. Different from the previously studied NLS-models with single power on the waveguide manifolds, where the non-scale-invariance is mainly due to the mixed nature of the underlying domain, the non-scale-invariance of the present model is both geometrical and structural. By considering different combinations of the nonlinearities, we establish both qualitative and quantitative properties of the soliton, scattering and blow-up solutions. As one of the main novelties of the paper compared to the previous results for the NLS with single power, we particularly construct two different rescaled families of variational problems, which leads to an NLS with single power in different limiting profiles respectively, to establish the periodic dependence results.
