Energy conservation for inhomogeneous incompressible and compressible Euler equations

Analysis of PDEs 2019-09-23 v3

Abstract

Energy conservations are studied for inhomogeneous incompressible and compressible Euler equations with general pressure law in a torus or a bounded domain. We provide sufficient conditions for a weak solution to conserve the energy. By exploiting a suitable test function, the spatial regularity for the density is only required to be of order 2/32/3 in the incompressible case, and of order 1/31/3 in the compressible case. When the density is constant, we recover the existing results for classical incompressible Euler equation.

Comments

The new version deals with general pressure law for compressible equations. By using a new test function, we allow the density to be zero instead of excluding completely vacuum. Required regularities for the density in the compressible case are also reduced
