Abstract
The hydrodynamic escape problem (HEP), which is characterized by a free boundary value problem of Euler equation with gravity and heat, is crucial for investigating the evolution of planetary atmospheres. In this paper, the global existence of transonic solutions to the HEP is established using the generalized Glimm method. New versions of Riemann and boundary-Riemann solvers are provided as building blocks of the generalized Glimm method by applying the contraction matrices to the homogeneous Riemann (or boundary-Riemann) solutions. The extended Glimm--Goodman wave interaction estimates are investigated for obtaining a stable scheme and positive gas velocity, which matches the physical observation. The limit of approximation solutions serves as an entropy solution of bounded variations. Moreover, the range of the feasible hydrodynamical region is also obtained.
