  • existence and stability of entropy solutions for the hyperbolic systems of isentropic Gas Dynamics in eulerian and lagrangian coordinates
    Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, 1998
    Co-Authors: Pierrelouis Lions, Benoit Perthame, Panagiotis E Souganidis
    Abstract:

    We prove the existence and compactness (stability) of entropy solutions for the hyperbolic systems of conservation laws corresponding to the isentropic Gas Dynamics, where the pressure and density are related by a γ-law, for any γ > 1. Our results considerably extend and simplify the program initiated by DiPerna and provide a complete existence proof. Our methods are based on the compensated compactness and the kinetic formulation of systems of conservation laws. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

  • kinetic formulation of the isentropic Gas Dynamics and p systems
    Communications in Mathematical Physics, 1994
    Co-Authors: Pierrelouis Lions, Benoit Perthame, Eitan Tadmor
    Abstract:

    We consider the 2 x 2 hyperbolic system of isentropic Gas Dynamics, in both Eulerian or Lagrangian variables (also called the p-system). We show that they can be reformulated as a kinetic equation, using an additional kinetic variable. Such a formulation was first obtained by the authors in the case of multidimensio nal scalar conservation laws. A new phenomenon occurs here, namely that the advection velocity is now a combination of the macroscopic and kinetic velocities. Various applications are given: we recover the invariant regions, deduce new L°° estimates using moments lemma and prove L°° — w* stability for 7 > 3.

  • when Gas Dynamics decouples from galactic rotation characterizing ism circulation in disk galaxies
    The Astrophysical Journal, 2020
    Co-Authors: Jose Utreras, Guillermo A Blanc, Andres Escala, Sharon E Meidt, Eric Emsellem, Frank Bigiel, Simon C O Glover, Jonathan D Henshaw
    Abstract:

    In galactic disks, galactic rotation sets the bulk motion of Gas, and its energy and momentum can be transferred toward small scales. Additionally, in the interstellar medium, random and noncircular motions arise from stellar feedback, cloud-cloud interactions, and instabilities, among other processes. Our aim is to comprehend to which extent small-scale Gas Dynamics is decoupled from galactic rotation. We study the relative contributions of galactic rotation and local noncircular motions to the circulation of Gas, $\Gamma$, a macroscopic measure of local rotation, defined as the line integral of the velocity field around a closed path. We measure the circulation distribution as a function of spatial scale in a set of simulated disk galaxies and we model the velocity field as the sum of galactic rotation and a Gaussian random field. The random field is parameterized by a broken power law in Fourier space, with a break at the scale $\lambda_c$. We define the spatial scale $\lambda_{\rm eq}$ at which galactic rotation and non-circular motions contribute equally to $\Gamma$. For our simulated galaxies, the Gas Dynamics at the scale of molecular clouds is usually dominated by noncircular motions, but in the center of galactic disks galactic rotation is still relevant. Our model shows that the transfer of rotation from large scales breaks at the scale $\lambda_c$ and this transition is necessary to reproduce the circulation distribution. We find that $\lambda_{\rm eq}$, and therefore the structure of the Gas velocity field, is set by the local conditions of gravitational stability and stellar feedback.
