Some special solutions of the multidimensional Euler equations in \(\mathbb R^N\) (Q812197)

The multidimensional Euler equations for compressible gas are considered. The gas is polytropic, so the pressure \(p\) depends on the density \(\rho\): \(p(\rho)=\frac{\rho^\gamma}{\gamma}\). For the case of spherical symmetry the equations become simpler. The special solution for constant with respect to \(x\) density are obtained. Then the author finds out that the critical mass is infinite and thus no blow-up is possible for finite mass. For infinite mass the solution blows up everywhere in finite time for suitable initial velocity. Finally, using the total potential energy argument, the author proves that for \(\gamma>1\) finite total energy implies there is no \(\delta\)-function of bigger blow-up.
