Multiple scales and singular limits of perfect fluids

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this article our goal is to study the singular limits for a scaled barotropic Euler system modelling a rotating, compressible and inviscid fluid, where Mach number =epsilonm, Rossby number =epsilon and Froude number =epsilonn are proportional to a small parameter epsilonightarrow0. The fluid is confined to an infinite slab, the limit behaviour is identified as the incompressible Euler system. For emph{well--prepared} initial data, the convergence is shown on the life span time interval of the strong solutions of the target system, whereas a class of generalized emph{dissipative solutions} is considered for the primitive system. The technique can be adapted to the compressible Navier--Stokes system in the subcritical range of the adiabatic exponent gamma with 1<gammaleqfrac32, where the weak solutions are not known to exist.


A inviscid compressible fluid rotating around the axis \(\mathbf{b}\) is described by the compressible Euler system \[ \begin{split} \partial_t\varrho + \operatorname{div}\, \mathbf{m} & = 0\\ \partial_t\mathbf{m} + \operatorname{div} \left(\frac{\mathbf{m}\otimes \mathbf{m}}{\varrho}\right) + \frac 1{Ma^2}\nabla p(\varrho) + \frac 1{Ro}\mathbf{b}\times \mathbf{m} & = \frac 1{Fr^2} \varrho \nabla G. \end{split} \] The paper in question deals with a low Mach number limit. Namely, the author consider the following scaling: \[ Ma \sim \varepsilon^m,\quad Ro\sim \varepsilon,\quad Fr\sim \varepsilon^n \] for some \(m,n>0\). If \(\varepsilon\) tends to zero, the dissipative solution to the Euler system will converge to the strong solution of an appropriate target system which is determined by values of \(m\) and \(n\). The relative entropy inequality is used in order to deduce the means of convergence assuming the initial data are well prepared.
