Uniqueness and Instability of Subsonic–sonic Potential Flow in a Convergent Approximate Nozzle
نویسندگان
چکیده
We proved uniqueness and instability of the symmetric subsonic– sonic flow solution of the compressible potential flow equation in a surface with convergent areas of cross–sections. Such a surface may be regarded as an approximation of a two–dimensional convergent nozzle in aerodynamics. Mathematically these are uniqueness and nonexistence results of a nonlinear degenerate elliptic equation with Bernoulli type boundary conditions. The proof depends on maximum principles and a generalized Hopf boundary point lemma which was proved in the paper.

Transonic Potential Flows in A Convergent–Divergent Approximate Nozzle
In this paper we prove existence, uniqueness and regularity of certain perturbed (subsonic–supersonic) transonic potential flows in a two-dimensional Riemannian manifold with “convergent–divergent” metric, which is an approximate model of the de Laval nozzle in aerodynamics. The result indicates that transonic flows obtained by quasi-one-dimensional flow model in fluid dynamics are stable with ...
متن کاملCompressible Euler Flows on a Convergent–Divergent Surface: Steady Subsonic Flows
In this paper, we construct various special solutions on a convergent-divergent surface for the steady compressible complete Euler system and established the stability of the purely subsonic flows. For a given pressure p0 prescribed at the “entry” of the surface, as the pressure p1 at the “exit” decreases, the flow patterns on the surface change continuously as those happen in a de Laval nozzle...
متن کاملOn Multi-Dimensional Sonic-Subsonic Flow
In this paper, a compensated compactness framework is established for sonic-subsonic approximate solutions to the n-dimensional(n ≥ 2) Euler equations for steady irrotational flow that may contain stagnation points. This compactness framework holds provided that the approximate solutions are uniformly bounded and satisfy H−1 loc (Ω) compactness conditions. As illustration, we show the existence...
متن کاملEntropic-acoustic instability in shocked accretion flows
A new instability mechanism is described in accretion flows where the gas is accelerated from a stationary shock to a sonic surface. The instability is based on a cycle of acoustic and entropic waves in this subsonic region of the flow. When advected adiabatically inward, entropy perturbations trigger acoustic waves propagating outward. If a shock is present at the outer boundary, acoustic wave...
متن کاملTransonic Evaporation Waves in a Spherically Symmetric Nozzle
This paper studies the liquid to vapor phase transition in a cone shaped nozzle. Using the geometric method presented in [32, 34], we further develop results on subsonic and supersonic evaporation waves in [14] to transonic waves. It is known that transonic waves do not exist if restricted solely to the slow system on the slow manifolds [14]. Thus we consider the existence of transonic waves th...
