Existence and Stability of Supersonic Euler Flows past Lipschitz Wedges

چکیده
It is well known that, when the vertex angle of a straight wedge is less than the critical angle, there exists a shock-front emanating from the wedge vertex so that the constant states on both sides of the shock-front are supersonic. Since the shock-front at the vertex is usually strong, especially when the vertex angle of the wedge is large, then such a global flow is physically required to be governed by the isentropic or adiabatic Euler equations. In this paper, we systematically study two-dimensional steady supersonic Euler (i.e. non-potential) flows past Lipschitz wedges and establish the existence and stability of supersonic Euler flows when the total variation of the tangent angle functions along the wedge boundaries is suitably small. We develop a modified Glimm difference scheme and identify a Glimm-type functional, by incorporating the Lipschitz wedge boundary and the strong shock-front naturally and by tracing the interaction not only between the boundary and weak waves but also between the strong shock front and weak waves, to obtain the required BV estimates. Then these estimates are employed to establish the convergence of both approximate solutions to a global entropy solution and corresponding approximate strong shock-fronts emanating from the vertex to the strong shock-front of the entropy solution. The regularity of strong shock-fronts emanating from the wedge vertex and the asymptotic stability of entropy solutions in the flow direction are also established.

Well-posedness for Two-dimensional Steady Supersonic Euler Flows past a Lipschitz Wedge
For a supersonic Euler flow past a straight wedge whose vertex angle is less than the extreme angle, there exists a shock-front emanating from the wedge vertex, and the shock-front is usually strong especially when the vertex angle of the wedge is large. In this paper, we establish the L wellposedness for two-dimensional steady supersonic Euler flows past a Lipschitz wedge whose boundary slope ...
متن کاملStability of Compressible Vortex Sheets in Steady Supersonic Euler Flows over Lipschitz Walls
We are concerned with the stability of compressible vortex sheets in two-dimensional steady supersonic Euler flows over Lipschitz walls under a BV boundary perturbation, since steady supersonic Euler flows are important in many physical situations. It is proved that steady compressible vortex sheets in supersonic flow are stable in structure globally, even under the BV perturbation of the Lipsc...

In our previous work, we have established the existence of transonic characteristic discontinuities separating supersonic flows from a static gas in two-dimensional steady compressible Euler flows under a perturbation with small total variation of the incoming supersonic flow over a solid right-wedge. It is a free boundary problem in Eulerian coordinates and, across the free boundary (character...
متن کاملEvaluation of Roe s Method with Different Limiters in Supersonic 2-D and Axisymmetric Flows
2-D and axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations are solved using Reiman-Roe solver with different limiters for second-order accurate schemes. The results were obtained for supersonic viscous flows over semi-infinite axisymmetric and 2-D bodies. The free stream Mach numbers were 7.78 and 16.34. The stability of Roe method with different limiters and entropy conditions were considered. The results s...
متن کاملAdaptation of Structured Grid for Supersonic and Transonic Flows
Two distinct redistribution grids - adaptation techniques, spring analogy and elliptic grid generator are applied to two-dimensional steady, inviscid, shocked flows, and the ability of each technique is examined and compared. Euler equations are solved base on Roe's Reimann solver approach to simulate supersonic flow around a sphere, transonic flow about an airfoil and supersonic flow in a symm...
