Global Existence of Solutions for Baer-Nunziato Two-Phase Flow Model in a Bounded Domain ()
1. Introduction
1.1. Background and Motivation
In this paper, we are interested in a version of one velocity Baer-Nunziato model with dissipation for the mixture of two compressible fluids in a smooth bounded domain
. The system is as follows:
(1.1)
Here,
and
. The variables z,
and
denote the density of the fluid, the velocity field of the fluid and the volume fraction, respectively.
is the density of the particles in the mixture. Where
are given functions, and satisfying
(1.2)
is pressure satisfying
(1.3)
And
(1.4)
(
is the identity tensor) is the viscous stress tensor. The constant viscosity coefficients satisfy standard physical assumptions
(1.5)
In fact, the system (1.1) is derived by Antonin Novotry in [1] from the two velocity Baer-Nunziato system, taking the form of
(1.6)
in the above
—concentrations, densities, velocities of the
species—are unknown functions,
are two (different) given functions defined on
and
,
are conveniently chosen quantities—they represent pressure and velocity at the interface. In the multifluid modeling, there are many possibilities about how the quantities
,
could be chosen, and there is no consensus about this choice.
As [1] [2], under the following simplifying assumptions:
with some functions
defined on
and functions
defined on
. The two velocity Baer-Nunziato system reduces to the one velocity Baer-Nunziato system.
System (1.1) corresponds to the barotropic and viscous version of the five-equation model of two-phase flows derived by Allaire, Clerc and Kokh in [3] [4] by different considerations. There are many results about the numerical properties of the Baer-Nunziato two-phase model and related models. Coquel proposed a splitting method for calculating the approximate solution of the isentropic Baer-Nunziato two-phase flow model, and tested the accuracy of some approximate solutions of Baer-Nunziato model in [5]; Pan, Zhao, Tian and Wang studied the numerical calculation of Baer-Nunziato two-phase flow model and proposed a new aerodynamic scheme [6]. In [7], Li and Wang proposed an HLLC method that can avoid estimating the wave velocity, and applied it to the Baer-Nunziato model simulation of two-phase flow, which can get better simulation results. When it comes to mathematical analysis, there are few results providing insight into the existing theory and asymptotic behavior of solutions concerning the two-phase models. The first result on the existence of weak solutions to the system (1.1) was investigated by Novotny [1] for arbitrary large initial data on a large time interval in the mathematical literature. In addition, Novotny and Jin not only defined the weak solutions and dissipative weak solutions of the system (1.1) and their existence theorems in large time intervals, but also studied the strong solutions of the system and proved their existence in short time intervals in [4]. In [2], Kwon, Novotny and Cheng proved that the weak solution set is stable, and pointed out that the construction of the weak solutions of the system is still a difficult problem. Motivated by [4] [7], our aim of the paper is to establish the existence theory of strong solutions for the one velocity Baer-Nunziato model with dissipation for the mixture of two compressible fluids in a bounded domain with no-slip boundary.
The results of weak solutions to multi-fluid models are in the mathematical literature in a short supply. It is convenient to quote [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] for a few papers which are relevant to the present work. It is worth pointing out that the system (1.1) is similar to the viscous liquid-gas two-phase flow model. There is little research on Baer-Nunziato’s initial value problem. Here we can refer to some relevant papers on the existence, uniqueness and large time behavior of solutions of viscous liquid-gas two-phase flow model [13] - [28]. The main difference of the viscous liquid-gas two-phase flow model from another is that the pressure term in the liquid-gas two-phase model satisfies:
(1.7)
where
and
are linear functions with respect to each variable. And the study of two-phase flow models in a bounded domain is becoming increasingly popular [29] [30] [31] [32]. Based on the above research background and current situation, I think it is necessary to study the global existence of the solution to the initial value problem of Baer-Nunziato two-phase flow model. So in this paper, we will study the initial value problem of the Baer-Nunziato two-phase flow model in a bounded region.
1.2. Main Results
To overcome the difficulties arising from the non-dissipation on
, we first rewrite system (1.1) in a more suitable form. The crucial idea is that instead of the variables
, we study the variables
. Let
(1.8)
By a direct calculation, from (1.3) and (1.8), we have
(1.9)
then the system (1.1) clearly can be written in terms of the variables
, that is
(1.10)
with the initial and boundary conditions
(1.11)
where
,
and
is a positive constant.
Now, we are in a position to state our main results:
Theorem 1.1. Let
,
and
are three constants, assume the initial boundary value
satisfies the compatibility conditions, i.e.
,
,
where
is the lth derivative at
of any solution of the system (1.10) - (1.11), as calculated from
(1.10) to yield an expression in terms of
. Then there exists a constant
such that if
(1.12)
then the initial boundary value problem (1.10) - (1.11) admits a unique solution
globally in the time with
, which satisfies
(1.13)
where
(1.14)
Moreover, there exist two positive constant
,
such that for any
, it holds that
(1.15)
(1.16)
(1.17)
(1.18)
Finally,
exists and let
, the following convergence rate holds
(1.19)
1.3. Notations
Throughout this paper, C denotes the generic positive constant depending only on the initial data and physical coefficients but independent of time t. Moreover, the norms in Sobolev spaces
and
are denoted respectively by

, for
and
. Particularly, for
, we will simply use
and
. As usual,

. Finally,
,
and for any integer
,

The rest of this paper is organized in the following way. In the next section, we show some useful inequalities. In Section 3, we obtained some a priori estimates and hence the global existence by the energy estimate method. As a by-product, we get the time decay estimates of the solutions.
2. Preliminaries
In this section, we first introduce some Sobolev’s inequalities that will be used frequently in later articles (cf. [33] [34] ).
Lemma 2.1. [33] Let
be a bounded Lipschitz domain in
and
. It holds that
(2.1)
for some contants
depending only on
.
Due to the slip boundary condition, the classical energy estimates can’t be applied directly to spatial derivatives. In order to get the estimates on the tangential derivatives of the solutions
, we introduce the following lemmas on the stationary Stokes equations, c.f. [35].
Lemma 2.2. [36] Let
be any bounded domain in
with smooth boundary. Consider the problem
(2.2)
where
. Then the above problem has a solution
which is unique modulo a constant of integration for P. Moreover, this solution satisfies:
(2.3)
3. Global Existence
In this section, we will prove the global existence and large-time behavior of the solution with the small initial data. Firstly, we start with the local existence and uniqueness of the strong solution to the initial boundary value problem (1.10) - (1.11).
Proposition 3.1. (Local existence) Let
such that
Then there exists a positive constant T and C, such that the initial value problem (1.10) - (1.11) has a unique solution
satisfying
Furthermore, the following estimates hold,
Next, we will establish some a priori estimates of the solution
. We first make the a priori assumption that
(3.1)
where
is sufficiently small. By the Sobolev inequality, we have
(3.2)
This will be often used in the rest of paper.
In order to deduce a prior estimate, We first use the energy estimation method to estimate the lower derivative of
.
Lemma 3.1. Under the conditions of Theorem 1.1 and (3.1), there exists a positive constant C such that for any
, it holds
(3.3)
Proof.Multiplying (1.10)4 by u, and integrating on
, using integration by parts, we get
(3.4)
In order to get the estimate of P, we shall deduce the equation of
. By integrating (1.10)3 over
gives
(3.5)
Therefore,
(3.6)
Then, we have
(3.7)
Combining the above equality, (3.1) and (3.2), we obtain
(3.8)
Now, we rewrite Equation (1.10)3 in the linear form as the following
(3.9)
Multiplying the above equality by
and integrating over
gives
(3.10)
Adding (3.4) to (3.10), we find
(3.11)
By using (3.1), (3.2), (3.8), Lemma 2.1, Hölder’s inequality and Poincaré’s inequality, the right terms of the above equation can be estimated as follows:
(3.12)
(3.13)
(3.14)
Plugging (3.12)-(3.14) into (3.11) yields (3.3). The proof of Lemmas 3.1 is completed.
Next, we give the energy estimate of the time derivative for
.
Lemma 3.2. Under the conditions of Theorem 1.1 and (3.1), there exists a positive constant C such that for any
it holds
(3.15)
Proof.Differentiating (1.10)4 and (3.9) with respect to t, then multiplying the result by
and
respectively, then summing up and integrating on
, we get
(3.16)
We use the boundary conditions
. For the first term on the right hand side of the above equality, we have from (3.1), (3.2) and Lemma 2.1, Hölder’s inequality and Poincaré’s inequality that
(3.17)
By (3.1) and (1.10)2 yields
(3.18)
Similarly, for the second term, we have
(3.19)
where is using
(3.20)
Then, combing (3.1), (1.10)2, (3.7) and (3.18), we can obtain
(3.21)
Finally, for the last term, we have
(3.22)
Substituting (3.17), (3.19), (3.22) into (3.16) gives (3.15).
Next, we will localize
when estimate the boundary solutions. Refer to [35], we will revise the standard technique about separating the estimates of solution into that over the region away from the boundary and near the boundary. Let
be an arbitrary but fixed-function in
. Then, we have the following energy estimates on the region away from the boundary.
Lemma 3.3. Under the conditions of Theorem 1.1 and (3.1), there exists a positive constant C such that for any
, it holds
(3.23)
(3.24)
Proof.Differentiating (1.10)4 and (3.9) with respect to
, multiplying the resulting equations by
respectively, then summing up and integrating on
, we have
(3.25)
which gives (3.23). Repeating the above procedure again for 2nd order spatial derivatives we get the following
(3.26)
which implies (3.24). So, the Lemma 3.3 can be finished.
Refer to [35], we need a more argument using the trick of estimating the tangential derivatives and the normal derivatives separately to establish the estimates near the boundary. We choose a finite number of bounded open sets
in
, such that
. In each open set
, we choose the local coordinates
as follows:
1) The surface
is the image of a smooth vector function
(e.g. take the local geodesic polar coordinate), satifying
(3.27)
where
is a positive constant independent of
.
2) For any
is represented by
(3.28)
where
represents the internal unit normal vector at the point
of the surface
.
We omit the subscript j in what follows for the simplicity of presentation. For
, we define the unit vectors
Then Frenet-Serret’s formal gives that there exist smooth functions
of
satisfying
where
denote the i-th component of
. An elementary calculation shows that the Jacobian J of the transform (3.28) is
(3.29)
By (3.29), we have the transform (3.28) is regular by choosing
so small that
for some positive
. Therefore, the inverse function of
exists, and we use
denote it. Using a straightforward calculation,
can be expressed by
(3.30)
where
,
,
,
, and
. It’s easy to find out, (3.30) gives
(3.31)
and
(3.32)
where we have used the Einstein convention of summing over repeated indices.
Therefore, in each
, (1.10)3 - (1.10)4 can be rewritten in the local coordinates
as follows:
where
Let us denote the tangential derivatives by
and
be arbitrary but fixed-function in
. Obviously,
on
, where
and
. Estimating the tangential derivatives in the similar way as the above lemma, we have
Lemma 3.4. Under the conditions of Theorem 1.1 and (3.1), there exists a positive constant C such that for any
, it holds
(3.33)
(3.34)
Next, we begin to deduce the estimates of derivatives in the normal directions.
Lemma 3.5. Under the conditions of Theorem 1.1 and (3.1), there exists a positive constant C such that for any
, it holds
(3.35)
(3.36)
Proof.First, using
and
, that is the following forms:
(3.37)
(3.38)
In order to eliminate
in equation (3.37), we use (3.37) ×
+ (3.38) yields:
(3.39)
Multiply that by
and integrating on
, we obtain
(3.40)
Estimate each term at the right end of the above equation,
(3.41)
and
(3.42)
Substituting (3.41) and (3.42) into (3.40) get
(3.43)
which implies (3.35).
By the same way, using
to (3.38), multiplying the resulting equations by
, then when
we have
(3.44)
which implies (3.36). The proof of Lemma3.5 is completed.
Finally, we use Lemma 2.2 to deduce the estimates on the tangential derivatives of
.
Lemma 3.6. Under the conditions of Theorem 1.1 and (3.1), there exists a positive constant C such that for any
, it holds
(3.45)
(3.46)
Proof.We rewrite the perturbed equations as the Stokes problem:
(3.47)
where applying Lemma 2.2 to (3.47), one can easily get (3.45).
Next we prove (3.46). To do this, by applying
to equation (3.47)2, we have
(3.48)
Using the Lemma 2.2 to (3.48) gives (3.46). The proof of Lemma 3.6 is completed.
Now, let’s start proving Theorem 1.1. We will do it by four steps.
Step 1: We first estimate the lower order derivatives for
. Suppose D be a fixed but large positive constant. Let D2 × ((3.3) + (3.15)) + D × ((3.23) + (3.33)) + (3.35), there exists a function
which is equivalent to
and satisfies
(3.49)
Substituting equation (3.45) into the above equation and using
, we obtain
(3.50)
where D is enough large,
is arbitrarily small.
Step 2: In this step, we will estimate the higher order derivatives for
. Let
in (3.36), by D × (2(3.24) + (3.34)) + (3.36), we get
(3.51)
Then by taking
in (3.36) and substituting (3.46) into (3.36), we have
(3.52)
By the same way, D × (3.51) + (3.52), there exists
which is equivalent to
, such that
(3.53)
Applying Lemma 2.2 to (3.47), we obtain
(3.54)
Step 3: Establish the energy inequality of Gronwall-type. An application of the
-estimate of elliptic system to (1.10)4 gives
(3.55)
Consider D4 × (3.50) + D × (3.53) + (3.54), there exists a function
which is equivalent to
such that
(3.56)
where we have used the Poincaré’s inequality
. Integrating the above inequality over [0,t] get (1.15). Using Gronwall’s inequality to (3.56), it is clear that there exist two positive constant
and
such that
(3.57)
which together with (1.10)3 yield (1.16).
Step 4: Finally, we prove (1.17), (1.18) and (1.19), and we can conclude the energy estimates on
, c as following:
By Gronwall’s inequality, we get
By simple calculation, implies (1.17) and (1.18). To prove (1.19), we first show that
exists. In fact, for any arbitrary positive constant
, there exists a positive constant
such that for any
, it holds that
which implies that
exists. Now, setting
, and combining (3.8), we obtain
which together with (1.16) implies (1.19).
Finally, we have finished the proof of Theorem 1.1.
