Gevrey-class-3 regularity of the linearised hyperbolic Prandtl system on a strip (Q6052643): Difference between revisions

The paper studies the linearized and reduced Prandtl equations on a thin strip \[ \begin{aligned} (\partial_t+1)[\partial_tu(t,x,y)+U(y)\partial_xu(t,x,y)+v(t,x,y)U'(y)] -\partial_y^2u(t,x,y)=0,\\ \partial_xu(t,x,y)+\partial_yv(t,x,y)=0, \end{aligned} \] on \((0,T)\times X\times (0,1)\) equipped with the conditions \(u(0,x,y)=g(x,y)\), \(\partial_tu(0,x,y)=h(x,y)\) on \(X\times (0,1)\) and \(u(t,x,0)=0\), \(v(t,x,0)=0\) on \((0,T)\times X\). The authors establish a local-in-time existence of solutions under assumption that the initial data are from Gevrey-class 3. They give detailed bounds on regularity, life span and explicit quantitative dependence on the shear flow \(U\). Further, they give detailed discussion on possible improved well-possedness results for the non-linear hyperbolic system \( (\tau \partial_t+1)(\partial_tu+u\partial_xu+v\partial_yu) -\partial_y^2u+\partial_xp=0\), \(\partial_yp=0\), \(\partial_xu+\partial_yv=0 \) on \((0,T)\times X\times (0,1)\) with the conditions \(u(0,x,y)=g(x,y)\), \(\partial_tu(0,x,y)=h(x,y)\) on \(X\times (0,1)\) and \(u(t,x,0)=u(t,x,1) =v(t,x,0)=v(t,x,1)=0\) on \((0,T)\times X\).
