Shock Diffraction Problem by Convex Cornered Wedges for Isothermal Gas

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We are concerned with the shock diffraction configuration for isothermal gas modeled by the conservation laws of nonlinear wave system. We reformulate the shock diffraction problem into a linear degenerate elliptic equation in a fixed bounded domain. The degeneracy is of Keldysh type—the derivative of a solution blows up at the boundary. We establish the global existence of solutions and prove the C012-regularity of solutions near the degenerate boundary. We also compare the difference of solutions between the isothermal gas and the polytropic gas.
