Nonlinear diffusion $\partial_t \rho = \Delta(\Phi(\rho))$ is considered for a class of nonlinearities $\Phi$. It is shown that for suitable choices of $\Phi$, an associated Lyapunov functional can be interpreted as thermodynamics entropy.…
Smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) is typically used for barotropic fluids, where the pressure depends only on the local mass density. Here, we show how to incorporate the entropy into the SPH, so that the pressure can also depend on the…
This paper considers the asymptotic limit of small aspect ratio between vertical and horizontal spatial scales for viscous isothermal compressible flows. In particular, it is observed that fast vertical acoustic waves arise and induce an…
