A lower bound estimate of solutions to the Cauchy problems for a hyperbolic Monge–Ampère equation

This paper investigates the Cauchy problems for a hyperbolic Monge–Ampère equation which can be reduced to a quasilinear hyperbolic system via Riemannian invariants. Based on the first a priori estimate of the solutions, the second a priori estimate of the derivation of the solutions, and the third a priori estimate of the continuous mould of the first‐order partial derivatives of the solutions to quasilinear hyperbolic system, a lower bound estimate of classical solutions to the Cauchy problems for a hyperbolic Monge–Ampère equation is derived.

Simple waves for anti-van der Waals modified Chaplygin gas in 2-D magnetohydrodynamics

Abstract This paper presents essential findings on the reducible equations introduced by Courant and Friedrichs in their seminal work, Supersonic Flow and Shock Waves. In this paper, we discuss the presence of simple waves in a 2-D magnetohydrodynamic system with an anti-van der Waals-modified Chaplygin gas. Following the approach of Hu and Sheng (characteristic decomposition of the 2 × 2 quasilinear strictly hyperbolic systems). Appl. Math. Lett. 25(3), 262–267 (2012), and (simple waves and characteristic decompositions of quasilinear hyperbolic systems in two independent variables). Math. Methods Appl. Sci. 38(8), 1494–1505 (2015) for the characteristic decomposition of a strictly hyperbolic system, we establish the existence of simple waves for a non-reducible system. This extends Courant and Friedrichs’s fundamental finding, which was initially proposed for reducible system (R. Courant and K. O. Friedrichs, Supersonic Flow and Shock Waves, New York, Interscience Publishers, Inc, 1948, p. 464). These results enhance our understanding of simple wave behaviour in magnetohydrodynamic systems with modified Chaplygin gas, expanding the applicability of Courant and Friedrichs’s theoretical framework.

A quasilinear hyperbolic one-dimensional model of the lymph flow through a lymphangion with valve dynamics and a contractile wall

This paper presents a one-dimensional model that describes fluid flow in lymphangions, the segments of lymphatic vessels between valves, using quasilinear hyperbolic systems. The model incorporates a phenomenological pressure-cross-sectional area relationship based on existing literature. Numerical solutions of the differential equations align with known results, offering insights into lymphatic flow dynamics. This model enhances the understanding of lymph movement through the lymphatic system, driven by lymphangion contractions.

Asymptotic preserving methods for quasilinear hyperbolic systems with stiff relaxation: a review

Hyperbolic systems with stiff relaxation constitute a wide class of evolutionary partial differential equations which describe several physical phenomena, ranging from gas dynamics to kinetic theory, from semiconductor modeling to traffic flow. Peculiar features of such systems is the presence of a small parameter that determines the smallest time scale of the system. As such parameter vanishes, the system relaxes to a different one with a smaller number of equations, and sometime of a different mathematical nature. The numerical solution of such systems may present some challenges, in particular if one is interested in capturing all regimes with the same numerical method, including the one in which the small parameter vanishes (relaxed system). The design, analysis and application of numerical schemes which are robust enough to solve this class of systems for arbitrary value of the small parameter is the subject of the current paper. We start presenting different classes of hyperbolic systems with relaxation, illustrate the properties of implicit–explicit (IMEX) Runge–Kutta schemes which are adopted for the construction of efficient methods for the numerical solution of the systems, and then illustrate how to apply IMEX schemes for the construction of asymptotic preserving schemes, i.e. scheme which correctly capture the behavior of the systems even when the relaxation parameter vanishes.

Global existence and decay of small solutions for quasi-linear second-order uniformly dissipative hyperbolic-hyperbolic systems

This paper is concerned with quasilinear systems of partial differential equations consisting of two hyperbolic operators interacting dissipatively. Its main theorem establishes global-in-time existence and asymptotic stability of strong solutions to the Cauchy problem close to homogeneous reference states in d≥3 space dimensions. Notably, the operators are not required to be symmetric hyperbolic, instead merely the existence of symbolic symmetrizers is assumed. The dissipation is characterized by algebraic conditions implying the uniform decay of all Fourier modes at the reference state. On a technical level, the theory developed herein uses para-differential operators as its main tool. Apparently being the first to apply such operators in the context of global-in-time existence of small solutions for quasi-linear hyperbolic systems, the present work contains a new version of the strong Gårding inequality. In the context of theoretical physics, the theorem applies to recent formulations for the relativistic dynamics of viscous, heat-conductive fluids such as notably that of Bemfica, Disconzi and Noronha (2018) [2].

Global existence, scattering, rigidity and inverse scattering for some quasilinear hyperbolic systems

Abstract We study the Cauchy problem of multidimensional quasilinear hyperbolic systems of diagonal form without self-interaction. In both L 1 {L^{1}} and L ∞ {L^{\infty}} frameworks, we will first show the global existence of classical solutions with small initial data, and then prove that the global solution will scatter to free linear waves and study the rigidity aspect of the scattering problem. We also show the inverse scattering result: The scattering field can determine the global solution uniquely, in the L 1 {L^{1}} framework.

An analysis of fluid–structure interaction coupling mechanisms in liquid-filled viscoelastic pipes subject to fast transients

An extension of a recently developed quasi-2D flow model for fluid transients in viscoelastic pipes to handle fluid–structure interaction mechanisms is presented. In a context in which the fluid flow is devised as a structured pseudo-mixture and the pipe’s viscoelasticity is rooted in an internal variable theory, the axial movement of the pipe wall is allowed to occur, giving rise to friction, Poisson, and junction coupling mechanisms. The resulting governing equations of the model form a quasi-linear hyperbolic system of partial differential equations, which approximated solution is achieved by means of the method of characteristics. The proposed approach is validated against pressure traces acquired from a reservoir–pipe–valve experimental setup found in the literature. In the course of the validating process, different pipe anchoring conditions are employed to study the system responses. Focus is given to pipe–fluid interface interactions, energy dissipation, and transfer of energy between both media.

A causal formulation of dissipative relativistic fluid dynamics with or without diffusion

The article proposes a causal five-field formulation of dissipative relativistic fluid dynamics as a quasilinear symmetric hyperbolic system of second order. The system is determined by four dissipation coefficients η , ζ , κ , μ \eta ,\zeta ,\kappa ,\mu , free functions of the fields, which quantify shear viscosity, bulk viscosity, heat conductivity, and diffusion.

Partially dissipative systems in the critical regularity setting, and strong relaxation limit

Many physical phenomena may be modeled by first order hyperbolic equations with degenerate dissipative or diffusive terms. This is the case for example in gas dynamics, where the mass is conserved during the evolution, but the momentum balance includes a diffusion (viscosity) or damping (relaxation) term, or, in numerical simulations, of conservation laws by relaxation schemes. Such so-called partially dissipative systems have been first pointed out by S. K. Godunov in a short note in 1961. Much later, in 1984, S. Kawashima highlighted in his PhD thesis a simple criterion ensuring the existence of global strong solutions in the vicinity of a linearly stable constant state. This criterion has been revisited in a number of research works. In particular, K. Beauchard and E. Zuazua proposed in 2010 an explicit method for constructing a Lyapunov functional allowing to refine Kawashima’s results and to establish global existence results in some situations that were not covered before. These notes originate essentially from the PhD thesis of T. Crin-Barat that was initially motivated by an earlier observation of the author in a chapter of the handbook edited by Y. Giga and A. Novotný. Our main aim is to adapt the method of Beauchard and Zuazua to a class of symmetrizable quasilinear hyperbolic systems (containing the compressible Euler equations), in a critical regularity setting that allows to keep track of the dependence with respect to e.g. the relaxation parameter. Compared to Beauchard and Zuazua’s work, we exhibit a ‘damped mode’ that will have a key role in the construction of global solutions with critical regularity, in the proof of optimal time-decay estimates and, last but not least, in the study of the strong relaxation limit. For simplicity, we here focus on a simple class of partially dissipative systems, but the overall strategy is rather flexible, and adaptable to much more general situations.

Local Solution of Three-Dimensional Axisymmetric Supersonic Flow in a Nozzle

In this paper, we construct a local supersonic flow in a 3-dimensional axis-symmetry nozzle when a uniform supersonic flow inserts the throat. We apply the local existence theory of boundary value problem for quasilinear hyperbolic system to solve this problem. The boundary value condition is set in particular to guarantee the character number condition. By this trick, the theory in quasilinear hyperbolic system can be employed to a large range of the boundary value problem.

Multiple Riemann wave solutions of the general form of quasilinear hyperbolic systems

The objective of this paper is to construct Riemann $k$-wave solutions of the general form of first-order quasilinear hyperbolic systems of partial differential equations geometrically. To this end, we adapt and combine elements of two approaches to the construction of Riemann $k$-waves, namely, the symmetry reduction method and the generalized method of characteristics. We formulate a geometrical setting for the general form of the $k$-wave problem and discuss in detail the conditions for the existence of $k$-wave solutions. An auxiliary result concerning the Frobenius theorem is established. We use it to obtain formulae describing the $k$-wave solutions in closed form. Our theoretical considerations are illustrated by examples of hydrodynamic type systems including the Brownian motion equation.

Saturated boundary feedback control of quasi-linear hyperbolic balance laws with application to LWR traffic flow stabilization

The saturated boundary stabilization problem for quasi-linear hyperbolic systems of balance laws is considered under H2-norm in this paper, where the boundary conditions of the system are subject to actuator saturations. The resulting closed-loop system is proven to be locally exponentially stable with respect to the steady states in the presence of saturations. To this end, the sector nonlinearity model is introduced to deal with the saturation term, and then sufficient conditions for ensuring the locally exponential stability are established in terms of a set of matrix inequalities by employing the Lyapunov function method along with a sector condition. Furthermore, these results are applied to the stabilization of the two-lane traffic flow dynamic represented by Lighthill–Whitham–Richards (LWR) model. By utilizing variable speed limit (VSL) devices, a saturated boundary feedback controller is designed to stabilize the two-lane traffic flow, and the exponential convergence of the quasi-linear traffic flow system in H2 sense is validated by numerical simulations.

Singularity for the one-dimensional rotating Euler equations of Chaplygin gases

This paper is focused on the singularity formation of smooth solutions for the one-dimensional rotating Euler equations of Chaplygin gases, which is a nonhomogeneous quasilinear hyperbolic system with linearly degenerate characteristic fields. We overcome the influence of the rotation terms and show that the density itself of the smooth solution tends to infinity in finite time for a kind of initial data.
