Abstract

In this paper we prove global in time existence of weak solutions to zero Mach number systems arising in fluid mechanics with periodic boundary conditions. Relaxing a certain algebraic constraint between the viscosity and the conductivity introduced in [6] gives a more complete answer to an open question formulated in [23]. We introduce a new mathematical entropy which clearly shows existence of two-velocity hydrodynamics with a fixed mixture ratio. As an application of our result we first discuss a model of gaseous mixture extending the results of [10] to the global weak solutions framework. Second, we present the ghost effect system studied by C.D. Levermore, W. Sun and K. Trivisa [20] and discuss a contribution of the density-dependent heat-conductivity coefficient to the issue of existence of weak solutions.
