On the $L_1$-maximal regularity in the study of free boundary problem for the compressible fluid flows
Yuko Enomoto, Yoshihiro Shibata
TL;DR
This work proves $L_1$ in-time maximal regularity for the linearized Stokes system with free boundary conditions arising from compressible viscous flows on domains with smooth boundaries. It develops a Besov-space framework and constructs operator-valued resolvent and Laplace-inverse solution operators for the Lamé equations in ${b R}^N$, half-spaces, bent half-spaces, and general domains, with uniform bounds in a parabolic sector. The spectral analysis of the Lamé system is carried out in progressively complex geometries, culminating in a global parametrix construction and resolvent estimates that yield $L_1$ maximal regularity for the evolution problem. These results enable well-posedness analyses for nonlinear free-boundary compressible flows and provide a robust toolkit for handling Lagrangian-type transforms in the presence of free surfaces.
Abstract
In this paper, we consider the Stokes equations with non-homogeneous free boundary conditions, which is obtained by the linearization procedure of the free boundary problem of the Navier-Stokes equations describing the viscous compressible fluid flows. We prove the $L_1$ maximal regularity of solutions to this Stokes equations.
