In this paper, we consider the initial boundary value problem in a cylindrical domain to the three dimensional primitive equations with full eddy viscosity in the momentum equations but with only horizontal eddy diffusivity in the temperature equation. Global well-posedness of $z$-weak solution is established for any such initial datum that itself and its vertical derivative belong to $L^2$. This not only extends the results in cite{Cao5} from the spatially periodic case to general cylindrical domains but also weakens the regularity assumptions on the initial data which are required to be $H^2$ there.
In this paper we show global well-posedness near vacuum for the binary-ternary Boltzmann equation. The binary-ternary Boltzmann equation provides a correction term to the classical Boltzmann equation, taking into account both binary and ternary interactions of particles, and may serve as a more accurate description model for denser gases in non-equilibrium. Well-posedness of the classical Boltzmann equation and, independently, the purely ternary Boltzmann equation follow as special cases. To prove global well-posedness, we use a Kaniel-Shinbrot iteration and related work to approximate the solution of the nonlinear equation by monotone sequences of supersolutions and subsolutions. This analysis required establishing new convolution type estimates to control the contribution of the ternary collisional operator to the model. We show that the ternary operator allows consideration of softer potentials than the one binary operator, consequently our solution to the ternary correction of the Boltzmann equation preserves all the properties of the binary interactions solution. These results are novel for collisional operators of monoatomic gases with either hard or soft potentials that model both binary and ternary interactions.
Considering the Cauchy problem for the modified finite-depth-fluid equation $partial_tu-G_delta(partial_x^2u)mp u^2u_x=0, u(0)=u_0$, where $G_delta f=-i ft ^{-1}[coth(2pi delta xi)-frac{1}{2pi delta xi}]ft f$, $deltages 1$, and $u$ is a real-valued function, we show that it is uniformly globally well-posed if $u_0 in H^s (sgeq 1/2)$ with $ orm{u_0}_{L^2}$ sufficiently small for all $delta ges 1$. Our result is sharp in the sense that the solution map fails to be $C^3$ in $H^s (s<1/2)$. Moreover, we prove that for any $T>0$, its solution converges in $C([0,T]; H^s)$ to that of the modified Benjamin-Ono equation if $delta$ tends to $+infty$.
We construct global weak solutions to isothermal quantum Navier-Stokes equations, with or without Korteweg term, in the whole space of dimension at most three. Instead of working on the initial set of unknown functions, we consider an equivalent reformulation, based on a time-dependent rescaling, that we introduced in a previous paper to study the large time behavior, and which provides suitable a priori estimates, as opposed to the initial formulation where the potential energy is not signed. We proceed by working on tori whose size eventually becomes infinite. On each fixed torus, we consider the equations in the presence of drag force terms. Such equations are solved by regularization, and the limit where the drag force terms vanish is treated by resuming the notion of renormalized solution developed by I. Lacroix-Violet and A. Vasseur. We also establish global existence of weak solutions for the isothermal Korteweg equation (no viscosity), when initial data are well-prepared, in the sense that they stem from a Madelung transform.
We provide a new analysis of the Boltzmann equation with constant collision kernel in two space dimensions. The scaling-critical Lebesgue space is $L^2_{x,v}$; we prove global well-posedness and a version of scattering, assuming that the data $f_0$ is sufficiently smooth and localized, and the $L^2_{x,v}$ norm of $f_0$ is sufficiently small. The proof relies upon a new scaling-critical bilinear spacetime estimate for the collision gain term in Boltzmanns equation, combined with a novel application of the Kaniel-Shinbrot iteration.
It is known that the Maxwell-Klein-Gordon equations in $mathbb{R}^{3+1}$ admit global solutions with finite energy data. In this paper, we present a new approach to study the asymptotic behavior of these global solutions. We show the quantitative energy flux decay of the solutions with data merely bounded in some weighted energy space. We also establish an integrated local energy decay and a hierarchy of $r$-weighted energy decay. The results in particular hold in the presence of large total charge. This is the first result to give a complete and precise description of the global behavior of large nonlinear charged scalar fields.
