Some remarks on steady solutions to the Euler system in \(\mathbb{R}^d\) (Q2021487)

The authors consider the Euler system of gas dynamics \(\operatorname{div}_x (\rho \mathbf u)=0\), \(\operatorname{div}_x (\rho \mathbf u \otimes \mathbf u)+ \nabla_x \pi(\rho,s)=0\), \(\operatorname{div}_x (\rho s \mathbf u)=0\) with positive far field density and arbitrary far field entropy \(s\) in \(\mathbb R^d\) \((d = 2, 3)\). The equation of state \(\pi(\rho,s)=\rho^{\gamma} \exp(as)\) is fulfilled. It is shown that the Euler system admits infinitely many steady solutions with compactly supported velocity. The same holds for the incompressible Euler system with variable density. In particular, these are examples of global in time smooth (non-trivial) solutions for the corresponding time-dependent systems.
