Global Well-Posedness and Large-Time Behavior to the 3D Two-Fluid Model with Degenerate Viscosities ()
1. Introduction
Two-phase flow refers to a flow system consisting of two substances in different phases (at least one of which is a fluid). The flow system may be in different combinations such as gas-liquid and liquid-solid. Two-phase flow is also widely present in nature and other engineering fields, such as the drift of rain, snow, clouds and fog [1] [2], blood circulation in living organisms [3] [4], sediment movement [5] [6], high-speed aerated water flow in hydraulic engineering, and air pollution caused by smoke and dust in environmental engineering. With the passage of time and the development of science, the problem of two-phase flow has received increasing attention. Two-phase flow plays an important role in aerospace [7] [8], biomedical engineering [9]-[13], chemical engineering [14]-[16] and other fields. However, the analysis of two-phase flow problem is relatively complex. It involves knowledge from multiple fields such as fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and heat transfer. People use different models to study two-phase flow problems. The most common is the compressible two-fluid model in [17] established using the Navier-Stokes equations:
(1.1)
in which

. Moreover,
,

(1.2)
where

and

are shear and bulk viscosity coefficients:

,
,
, then
,
.
When
,
,
and
are constants, there are many studies on the solutions of (1.1). Bresch, Huang and Li obtained global weak solutions of a non-conservative viscous compressible two-phase model in one space dimension in [18]. For the multi-dimensional case, Yao, Zhang and Zhu obtained the existence and asymptotic behavior of global weak solutions for a two-phase model of two-dimensional viscous liquid gas flow by using the idea of studying single-phase Navier-Stokes equations in [19]. Vasseur, Wen and Yu in [20] got the existence of global weak solutions for the model like (1.1), where the pressure contingent upon two variables. Cui, Wang, Yao and Zhu in [21] studied the time-decay rate of a non conservative compressible model by analysing systems and estimating energy. When
, Wu and Yao obtained the properties of the classical solutions to the three dimensional space in [22].
With the intensive study of the single phase Navier-Stokes equations, researchers have obtained some important conclusions, one of which is particularly noteworthy: The dynamic viscosity coefficient and volumetric viscosity coefficient both depend on density, see [23]-[27] and the references therein. For the two-fluid model, we make the following assumptions:
(1.3)
where
,
,
. The biggest difference between this article and previous research is the viscosity term, in which both
and
are functions of density.
When the velocities of the two fluids are the same, Zodji in [28] proved the existence of a unique local-time solution when density and dynamic viscosity coefficients have an infimum. Li, Wang and Zhang in [29] researched a model analogous to (1.1), where the dynamic viscosity coefficient and volumetric viscosity coefficient are functions of density. There are no finite-energy classical solutions to this system for any small time. The assumption made by Bresch in [30] is that the viscosity coefficients of two-phase motion are
and
respectively, and the volume viscosity coefficients are both 0, Bresch obtained the global weak solutions, while

(1.5)
then

Where , represent the
sound speed respectively. They achieved global existence and decay rates of the solutions in [31].
There are currently few research results on viscous stress tensors (1.3). Therefore, we study the properties of solutions when both
and
are functions of density.
The research methods and techniques used in this article are derived from [22], which obtains the global goodness and large time behavior of the classical solution of a three-dimensional compressible two-phase flow model with common pressure through energy estimation and continuity induction.
We observed (1.1)5 and obtained the following relationship
(1.6)
We introduce fractional density like in [30]
(1.7)
Combined with
, it gives
(1.8)
From (1.6) and (1.7), we get
(1.9)
Putting (1.9) into (1.8), we derive
and
We get
:
where
From

(1.10)
With (1.1)5, (1.7) and (1.10), we define

(1.17)
and
(1.18)
(1.19)
(1.20)
where

(1.21)
Now, we will show the difficulties in the proof and how to fix them.
First of all, we rewrite (1.12) as (1.14) by taking
,
. We obtain the corresponding linear system (1.26) for (1.14). To study time-decay estimates of the linear system (1.26), we must study the properties of the semigroup in detail. We use the Hodge decomposition technique [32] to decompose the linear system into three equations. We can get linear
estimates using the Fourier transform.
Second, similar to [22], we multiply (1.14)3, (1.14)4, (1.14)5 by
,
,
and
, respectively, and then integrate them. The difference between this paper and [22] is that when estimating the term on the right, we need to estimate the norms of
,
,
and
. We noticed that
and
are related to
, making
. Therefore, norm estimates related to
,
,
and
can all be calculated using norm estimates related to
. We deduce the energy of
and its derivatives.
In the last, we need handle
and
in (1.16). because we have chosen

and
can be more difficult for us, so we have rewritten it as (5.11). At the same time, applying related inequalities, We deduced the time decay rates for

It is straightforward to verify the presence of a zero eigenvalue in the linearized problem (3.1), it adds to the difficulty and complexity of the issue. In order to eliminate the zero eigenvalues, we study the Cauchy problem of

4. The Energy Estimate of (Z, w, n) and Its Derivatives
Due to the fact that local classical solutions can be proven in [37] [38], which omit details. Combining the results of local existence with prior estimates through classical argumentation, the global existence of the solution is obtained. So we suppose a priori that

(4.2)
The following are a series of lemmas for energy estimation. First, we perform zero order energy estimation.
Lemma 4.1. Under the suppositions of Theorem 1.1 meanwhile (4.1) are valid, then

(4.5)
For the term

Lemma 4.2. Under the suppositions of Theorem 1.1 meanwhile (4.1) are valid, then

(4.10)
Employing relevant inequalities, we obtain
(4.11)
We calculate
(4.12)
Similarly, we obtain
(4.13)
Substituting (4.11)-(4.13), into (4.10), then, we obtain (4.9) if

Next we consider

Similar to (4.11), we obtain
(4.16)
Similar to (4.12), we obtain
(4.17)
We also have
(4.18)
Substituting (4.16)-(4.18) into (4.15), we obtain (4.14). From (4.9) and (4.14), if

Similar to the previous process, we have
(4.24)
and
(4.25)
Similarly, we have
(4.26)
Substituting (4.24)-(4.26) into (4.22), we obtain (4.19). We restate the equation (4.21)2, (4.21)3, and get the following form:

and
(5.3)
Proof. From (1.14), we see that
(5.4)

From (1.14), (4.19) and (4.20), we have
(5.6)
Similarly, we also have

Assuming that the constant
. From (5.4)-(5.7), summing up
× ((4.8) + (4.19)) + (4.20), then there exists an energy functional, designated as
, which is equivalent to

, we can get
(5.8)
In addition, Define the time-weighted energy functional:
(5.9)
Denoting

So we can derive
(5.10)
Because of the non-dissipative nature of
, we need to devise innovative approaches to address the final two terms of

as a whole, and then restate cleverly. If we notice that
, and use the subtle relation between the variables, it is somewhat unexpected that
can be rewritten as
(5.11)
From Proposition 3.6, (5.9) and (5.10), we have
(5.12)

Integrating by parts, we have
Similarly, we have
Then we deal with (5.20)
Therefore, we have

However, the uniform boundedness of the
-norm of

(5.30)
Using the similar process to (5.28) and (5.29), we have

, we have
(5.33)
(5.34)
Using the similar process to (5.34), we obtain

By applying integration by parts, we have
(5.36)
Similarly, for
, we have
(5.37)
Substituting (5.25)-(5.37) into (5.24) yields,
(5.38)
In virtue of (5.2) and (5.3), for any
, then
we deduce that
(5.39)
The proof is completed. □
