Absorption of Characteristics by Sonic Curve of the Two-dimensional Euler Equations

چکیده
We explore the reflection off a sonic curve and the domain of determinacy, via the method of characteristics, of self-similar solutions to the two dimensional isentropic Euler system through several examples with axially symmetric initial data. We find that characteristics in some cases can be completely absorbed by the sonic curve so that the characteristics vanish tangentially into the sonic boundary, exemplifying a classical scenario of the Keldysh type; however, the characteristics can wrap around the closed sonic curve unboundedly many times, so that the domain of determinacy of the hyperbolic characteristic boundary value problem or the Goursat problem exhibit layered annulus structures. As the number of layers increases, the layers become thinner, and the solution at an interior point of the domain depends eventually on the entire boundary data.

Euler-Lagrange equations and geometric mechanics on Lie groups with potential
Abstract. Let G be a Banach Lie group modeled on the Banach space, possibly infinite dimensional, E. In this paper first we introduce Euler-Lagrange equations on the Lie group G with potential and right invariant metric. Euler-Lagrange equations are natural extensions of the geodesic equations on manifolds and Lie groups. In the second part, we study the geometry of the mechanical system of a r...

In this paper, the general governing equations of three-dimensional vibrations of an Euler-Bernoulli Beam under influences of system dynamics are derived by the Hamiltonian method. Then two fundamental cases of a cantilever beam and a rotating beam are considered. The conventional methods for vibration suppression debit to expenses and make new problems such as control spillover because they ar...
متن کاملOn Two-Dimensional Sonic-Subsonic Flow
A compensated compactness framework is established for sonic-subsonic approximate solutions to the two-dimensional Euler equations for steady irrotational flows that may contain stagnation points. Only crude estimates are required for establishing compactness. It follows that the set of subsonic irrotational solutions to the Euler equations is compact; thus flows with sonic points over an obsta...
متن کاملOne Dimensional Internal Ballistics Simulation of Solid Rocket Motor
An internal ballistics model has been developed for performance prediction of a solid propellant rocket motor. In this model a 1-D unsteady Euler equation with source terms is considered. The flow is assumed as a non-reacting mixture of perfect gases with space and time varying thermo physical properties. The governing equations in the combustion chamber are solved numerically by using the Steg...

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...
