Low Mach Number Limit and Far Field Convergence Rates of Potential Flows in Multi-Dimensional Nozzles With an Obstacle Inside

Abstract

This paper considers the low Mach number limit and far field convergence rates of steady Euler flows with external forces in three-dimensional infinitely long nozzles with an obstacle inside. First, the well-posedness theory for both incompressible and compressible subsonic flows with external forces in multidimensional nozzle with an obstacle inside are established by several uniform estimates. The uniformly subsonic compressible flows tend to the incompressible flows as quadratic order of Mach number as the compressibility parameter goes to zero. Furthermore, we also give the convergence rates of both incompressible flow and compressible flow at far fields as the boundary of nozzle goes to flat even when the forces do not admit convergence rate at far fields. The convergence rates obtained for the flows at far fields clearly describe the effects of the external force.
