We prove shock formation results for the compressible Euler equations and related systems of conservation laws in one space dimension, or three dimensions with spherical symmetry. We establish an L∞ bound for C1 solutions of the one-dimensional (1D) Euler equations, and use this to improve recent shock formation results of the authors. We prove analogous shock formation results for 1D magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) with orthogonal magnetic field, and for compressible flow in a variable area duct, which has as a special case spherically symmetric three-dimensional (3D) flow on the exterior of a ball.

AbstractIn this paper, the problem on formation and construction of a shock wave for three dimensional compressible Euler equations with the small perturbed spherical initial data is studied. If the given smooth initial data satisfy certain nondegeneracy conditions, then from the results in [22], we know that there exists a unique blowup point at the blowup time such that the first order derivatives of a smooth solution blow up, while the solution itself is still continuous at the blowup point. From the blowup point, we construct a weak entropy solution which is not uniformly Lipschitz continuous on two sides of a shock curve. Moreover the strength of the constructed shock is zero at the blowup point and then gradually increases. Additionally, some detailed and precise estimates on the solution are obtained in a neighbourhood of the blowup point.

We numerically investigate the direct initiation of detonations driven by the propagation of a blast wave into a unconfined gaseous combustible mixture to study the role played by multidimensional instabilities in direct initiation of stable and unstable detonations. To this end, we first model the dynamics of unsteady propagation of detonation using the one-dimensional compressible Euler equations with a one-step chemical reaction model and cylindrical geometrical source terms. Subsequently, we use two-dimensional compressible Euler equations with just the chemical reaction source term to directly model cylindrical detonations. The one-dimensional results suggest that there are three regimes in the direct initiation for stable detonations, that the critical energy for mildly unstable detonations is not unique, and that highly unstable detonations are not self-sustainable. These phenomena agree well with one-dimensional theories and computations available in the literature. However, our two-dimensional results indicate that one-dimensional approaches are valid only for stable detonations. In mildly and highly unstable detonations, one-dimensional approaches break down because they cannot take the effects and interactions of multidimensional instabilities into account. In fact, instabilities generated in multidimensional settings yield the formation of strong transverse waves that, on one hand, increase the risk of failure of the detonation and, on the other hand, lead to the initiation of local over-driven detonations that enhance the overall self-sustainability of the global process. The competition between these two possible outcomes plays an important role in the direct initiation of detonations.

In this paper, we consider the three-dimensional Cauchy problem of the nonisentropic compressible Euler equations with relaxation. Following the method of Wu et al. (2021, Adv. Math. Phys. Art. ID 5512285, pp. 1–13), we show the existence and uniqueness of the global small H k k ⩾ 3 solution only under the condition of smallness of the H 3 norm of the initial data. Moreover, we use a pure energy method with a time-weighted argument to prove the optimal L p – L q 1 ⩽ p ⩽ 2 , 2 ⩽ q ⩽ ∞ -type decay rates of the solution and its higher-order derivatives.

AbstractIn this paper, for three dimensional compressible Euler equations with small perturbed initial data which are axisymmetric, we prove that the classical solutions have to blow up in finite time and give a complete asymptotic expansion of lifespan.
