Nonexistence of the compressible Euler equations with space-dependent damping in high dimensions

Abstract

Abstract Compressible Euler equations with space-dependent damping in high dimensions R n ( n = 2 , 3 ) {{\bf{R}}}^{n}\hspace{0.33em}\hspace{0.33em}\left(n=2,3) are considered in this article. Assuming that the small initial velocity and small perturbation of the initial density have compact support, we establish finite-time blow-up results for the Euler system, by combining energy estimate and new test functions constructed by the solutions of the following linear elliptic partial differential equations system: − G 1 ( x ) + ∇ ⋅ G 2 → ( x ) = 0 , − G 2 → ( x ) + ∇ G 1 ( x ) = μ G 2 → ( x ) ( 1 + ∣ x ∣ ) λ . \left\{\begin{array}{l}-{G}_{1}\left(x)+\nabla \cdot \overrightarrow{{G}_{2}}\left(x)=0,\\ -\overrightarrow{{G}_{2}}\left(x)+\nabla {G}_{1}\left(x)=\frac{\mu \overrightarrow{{G}_{2}}\left(x)}{{(1+| x| )}^{\lambda }}.\end{array}\right. This result generalizes the one in the literature from 1 − D 1-D to high dimension R n ( n = 2 , 3 ) {{\bf{R}}}^{n}\hspace{0.33em}\hspace{0.33em}\left(n=2,3) .
