SPATIAL BEHAVIOUR OF SOLUTIONS OF THE MOORE-GIBSON-THOMPSON EQUATION
In this note we study the spatial behaviour of the Moore-Gibson-Thompson equation. As it is a hyperbolic equation, we prove that the solutions do not grow along certain spatial-time lines. Given the presence of dissipation, we show that the solutions also decay exponentially in certain directions.
Some Explicit Solutions to the Three-Dimensional Nonlinear Water Wave Problem
We present some explicit solutions (given in Eulerian coordinates) to the three-dimensional nonlinear water wave problem. The velocity field of some of the solutions exhibits a non-constant vorticity vector. An added bonus of the solutions we find is the possibility of incorporating a variable (in time and space) surface pressure which has a radial structure. A special type of radial structure of the surface pressure (of exponential type) is one of the features displayed by hurricanes, cf. Overland (Earle, Malahoff (eds) Overland in ocean wave climate, Plenum Pub. Corp., New York, 1979).
On the Effect of Fast Rotation and Vertical Viscosity on the Lifespan of the 3 Primitive Equations
We study the effect of the fast rotation and vertical viscosity on the lifespan of solutions to the three-dimensional primitive equations (also known as the hydrostatic Navier-Stokes equations) with impermeable and stress-free boundary conditions. Firstly, for a short time interval, independent of the rate of rotation , we establish the local well-posedness of solutions with initial data that is analytic in the horizontal variables and only in the vertical variable. Moreover, it is shown that the solutions immediately become analytic in all the variables with increasing-in-time (at least linearly) radius of analyticity in the vertical variable for as long as the solutions exist. On the other hand, the radius of analyticity in the horizontal variables might decrease with time, but as long as it remains positive the solution exists. Secondly, with fast rotation, i.e., large , we show that the existence time of the solution can be prolonged, with "well-prepared" initial data. Finally, in the case of two spatial dimensions with , we establish the global well-posedness provided that the initial data is small enough. The smallness condition on the initial data depends on the vertical viscosity and the initial radius of analyticity in the horizontal variables.
Exact Solutions Modelling Nonlinear Atmospheric Gravity Waves
Exact solutions to the governing equations for atmospheric motion are derived which model nonlinear gravity wave propagation superimposed on atmospheric currents. Solutions are explicitly prescribed in terms of a Lagrangian formulation, which enables a detailed exposition of intricate flow characteristics. It is shown that our solutions are well-suited to modelling two distinct forms of mountain waves, namely: trapped lee waves in the Equatorial -plane, and vertically propagating mountain waves at general latitudes.
Global Existence and Weak-Strong Uniqueness for Chemotaxis Compressible Navier-Stokes Equations Modeling Vascular Network Formation
A model of vascular network formation is analyzed in a bounded domain, consisting of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations for the density of the endothelial cells and their velocity, coupled to a reaction-diffusion equation for the concentration of the chemoattractant, which triggers the migration of the endothelial cells and the blood vessel formation. The coupling of the equations is realized by the chemotaxis force in the momentum balance equation. The global existence of finite energy weak solutions is shown for adiabatic pressure coefficients . The solutions satisfy a relative energy inequality, which allows for the proof of the weak-strong uniqueness property.
