We consider a real two-fluid system of compressible viscous fluids with a common velocity field and algebraic closure for the pressure law. The constitutive relation involves densities of both fluids through an implicit function. The existence of global-in-time finite energy weak solutions to this system is known since the work of Novotný and Pokorný [Arch. Rational Mech. Anal., 2020]. On the other hand, existence of local-in-time strong solutions is due to Piasecki and Zatorska [J. Math Fluid Mech., 2022]. In this paper, we establish the weak-strong uniqueness principle using the relative entropy method. In sharp contrast to the two-phase model of Baer-Nunziato type, the volume fraction of phase + obeys a transport equation with an additional nonlinear term. This gives rise to troublesome terms in the relative entropy inequality. We are able to close the estimate by making an elaborate use of the structure of the system.
We study a viscous one-velocity Baer–Nunziato system for two barotropic compressible fluids in a bounded three-dimensional domain. In contrast with models in which the volume fraction is merely transported or determined by an algebraic equilibrium constraint, it satisfies a differential closure driven by the pressure gap between the phases. For arbitrary finite-energy initial data and adiabatic exponents γ^±>1, we construct global-in-time dissipative measure-valued solutions and prove dissipative measure-valued–strong uniqueness relative to any sufficiently regular solution with the same initial data. The principal difficulties are the singular and non-continuous behavior of the pressure-relaxation source at vanishing volume fractions, the associated concentration defects, and the lack of direct coercivity of the standard thermodynamic relative energy with respect to the volume fraction. These are resolved by an endpoint cutoff argument and an augmented relative energy coupled to the renormalized volume-fraction equation.
We study the low Mach number limit for a viscous compressible two-fluid model with algebraic pressure closure in the three-dimensional torus 𝕋^3. The pressure is determined implicitly through the densities of the two phases, which makes the singular limit substantially more delicate than for models with explicit pressure laws. Working in the framework of local-in-time strong solutions, we prove that, for well-prepared initial data, solutions to the rescaled compressible two-fluid system exist on a time interval independent of the Mach number and converge to the solution of the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations as the Mach number tends to zero. In addition, we establish explicit convergence rates for the densities and the velocity field. The proof relies on uniform high-order energy estimates and a relative energy argument adapted to the implicit structure of the pressure law. These results provide a rigorous justification of the low Mach number limit for the compressible two-fluid model with algebraic pressure closure.
We derive a hydrodynamic model for the motion of inertial particles with a spherical hard core, interacting through lubrication forces and pairwise repulsive forces. The repulsion arises from the assumption that each particle is surrounded by a thin rough layer of reduced permeability. We prove that, as the number of particles tends to infinity (and their size tends to 0), the microscopic dynamics converges to a macroscopic hydrodynamic model in which congestion effects are encoded directly into the macroscopic interaction forces, depending on a local critical density transported by the flow. In particular, we extend the work of Lefebvre-Lepot and Maury where non-inertial particles, submitted to only a lubrication force were considered, and present the convergence proof when inertial effects and roughness are taken into account.
We compare the multi-dimensional generalisation of the Aw-Rascle model with the pressureless Euler-alignment system, in which the communication weight is matrix-valued. Our generalisation includes the velocity offset in the form of a gradient of a non-local density function, given by the convolution with a kernel K. We investigate connections between these models at the macroscopic, mesoscopic and macroscopic (hydrodynamic) level, and overview the results on the mean-field limit for various assumptions on K.
We study the multi-dimensional Euler-alignment system with a matrix-valued communication kernel, motivated by models of anticipation dynamics in collective behaviour. A key feature of this system is its formal equivalence to a nonlocal variant of the Aw–Rascle–Zhang (ARZ) traffic model, in which the desired velocity is modified by a nonlocal gradient interaction. We prove the global-in-time existence of measure solutions to both formulations, obtained via a single degenerate pressureless Navier–Stokes approximation. Furthermore, we establish a weak-strong uniqueness principle adapted to the pressureless setting and to nonlocal alignment forces. As a consequence, we rigorously justify the formal correspondence between the nonlocal ARZ and Euler-alignment models: they arise from the same inviscid limit, and the weak-strong uniqueness property ensures that, whenever a classical solution exists, both formulations coincide with it.
We consider a one-dimensional hydrodynamic model featuring nonlocal attraction-repulsion interactions and singular velocity alignment. We introduce a two-velocity reformulation and the corresponding energy-type inequality, in the spirit of the Bresch-Desjardins estimate. We identify a dependence between the communication weight and interaction kernel and between the pressure and viscosity term allowing for this inequality to be uniform in time. It is then used to study long-time asymptotics of solutions.
The one-dimensional Aw-Rascle (AR) system has become a cornerstone of macroscopic models for single-lane vehicular traffic. A possible generalization of this model to a multi-dimensional setting is the so-called dissipative AR model, which is more suited to capturing crowd dynamics. This review summarizes recent studies that analyze the dissipative AR model, its hard congestion limit, the non-uniqueness of weak solutions, the existence and asymptotics of solutions within the duality framework, non-local interactions, and the existence of regular solutions.
We analyze the pressureless Navier-Stokes system with nonlocal attraction- repulsion forces. Such systems appear in the context of models of collective behaviour. We prove the existence of weak solutions on the whole space R-3 in the case of density-dependent degenerate viscosity. For the nonlocal term it is assumed that the interaction kernel has the quadratic growth at infinity and almost quadratic singularity at zero. Under these assumptions, we derive the analog of the Bresch- Desjardins and Mellet-Vasseur estimates for the nonlocal system. In particular, we are able to adapt the approach of Vasseur and Yu [37,36] to construct a weak solution. (c) 2025 Elsevier Masson SAS.

In this paper, we revisit the joint low-Mach and low-Frode number limit for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations with degenerate, density-dependent viscosity. Employing the relative entropy framework based on the concept of κ-entropy, we rigorously justify the convergence of weak solutions toward the generalized anelastic system in a three-dimensional periodic domain for well-prepared initial data. For general ill-prepared initial data, we establish a similar convergence result in the whole space, relying essentially on dispersive estimates for acoustic waves. Compared with the work of Fanelli and Zatorska [Commun. Math. Phys., 400 (2023), pp. 1463-1506], our analysis is conducted for the standard isentropic pressure law, thereby eliminating the need for the cold pressure term that played a crucial role in the previous approach. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first rigorous singular limit result for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations with degenerate viscosity that requires no additional regularization of the system.
We are concerned with the global existence of finite-energy entropy solutions of the one-dimensional compressible Euler equations with (possibly) damping, alignment forces, and the nonlocal interactions of Newtonian repulsion and quadratic confinement. Both the polytropic gas law and the general gas law are analyzed. This is achieved by constructing a sequence of solutions of the one-dimensional compressible Navier–Stokes-type equations with density-dependent viscosity on expanding intervals with the stress-free boundary condition and then taking the vanishing viscosity limit. The main difficulties in this paper arise from the appearance of the nonlocal terms. In particular, some uniform higher moment estimates of the solutions for the compressible Navier–Stokes equations on the expanding intervals with stress-free boundary condition are obtained by careful design of the approximate initial data.
In this paper, we investigate the compressible Navier-Stokes equations with degenerate, density-dependent, viscosity coefficient driven by multiplicative stochastic noise. We consider three-dimensional periodic domain and prove that the family of weak martingale solutions is sequentially compact.
In this article, we prove the local-in-time existence of regular solutions to dissipative Aw-Rascle system with the offset equal to gradient of some increasing and regular function of density. It is a mixed degenerate parabolic-hyperbolic hydrodynamic model, and we extend the techniques previously developed for compressible Navier-Stokes equations to show the well-posedness of the system in the $L_2-L_2$ setting. We also discuss relevant existence results for offset involving singular or non-local functions of density.
We investigate a potential model for an unbounded celestial bodies of finite mass composed of a solid core and a gaseous atmosphere. The system is governed by the Navier-Stokes-Fourier-Poisson equations, incorporating no-slip boundary conditions for velocity and a specified temperature distribution on the surface of the solid core. Additionally, a positive far-field condition is imposed on the temperature. This manuscript extends the mathematical theory of open fluid systems to unbounded exterior domains addressing these physically motivated yet highly challenging combination of boundary conditions. Notably, we establish the existence of global-in-time weak solutions and demonstrate the weak-strong uniqueness principle
In this study, we analyse the famous Aw-Rascle system in which the difference between the actual and the desired velocities (the offset function) is a gradient of a singular function of the density. This leads to a dissipation in the momentum equation which vanishes when the density is zero. The resulting system of PDEs can be used to model traffic or suspension flows in one dimension with the maximal packing constraint taken into account. After proving the global existence of smooth solutions, we study the so-called "hard congestion limit", and show the convergence of a subsequence of solutions towards a weak solution of an hybrid freecongested system. In the context of suspension flows, this limit can be seen as the transition from a suspension regime, driven by lubrication forces, towards a granular regime, driven by the contact between the grains.
We prove nonuniqueness of weak solutions to multi-dimensional generalisation of the Aw-Rascle model of vehicular traffic. Our generalisation includes the velocity offset in a form of gradient of density function, which results in a dissipation effect, similar to viscous dissipation in the compressible viscous fluid models. We show that despite this dissipation, the extension of the method of convex integration can be applied to generate infinitely many weak solutions connecting arbitrary initial and final states. We also show that for certain choice of data, ill posedness holds in the class of admissible weak solutions.
We prove the existence of the weak solutions to the compressible Navier–Stokes system with barotropic pressure p(ϱ )=ϱ ^γ for γ≥ 9/5 in three space dimension. The novelty of the paper is the approximation scheme that instead of the classical regularization of the continuity equation (based on the viscosity approximation εΔϱ ) uses more direct truncation and regularisation of nonlinear terms and the pressure. This scheme is compatible with the Bresch–Jabin compactness criterion for the density. We revisit this criterion and prove, in full rigour, that it can be applied in our approximation at any level.
We consider the multi-dimensional generalization of the Aw-Rascle system for vehicular traffic. For arbitrary large initial data and the periodic boundary conditions, we prove the existence of global-in-time measure-valued solutions. We also show, using the relative energy technique, that the measure-valued solutions coincide with the classical solutions as long as the latter exist.
In this paper, we investigate the low Mach and low Froude numbers limit for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations with degenerate, density-dependent, viscosity coefficient, in the strong stratification regime. We consider the case of a general pressure law with singular component close to vacuum, and general ill-prepared initial data. We perform our study in the three-dimensional periodic domain. We rigorously justify the convergence to the generalised anelastic approximation, which is used extensively to model atmospheric flows.
We investigate a compressible two-fluid Navier-Stokes type system with a single velocity field and algebraic closure for the pressure law. The constitutive relation involves densities of both fluids through an implicit function. We are interested in regular solutions in a L-p - L(q)maximal regularity setting. We show that such solutions exists locally in time and, under additional smallness assumptions on the initial data, also globally. Our proof rely on appropriate transformation of the original problem, application of Lagrangian coordinates and maximal regularity estimates for associated linear problem.
