Analytical Solutions to a Model of Inviscid Liquid-gas Two-phase Flow with Cylindrical Symmetry and Free Boundary

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the free boundary value problem for a model of inviscid liquid-gas two-phase flow with cylindrical symmetry. For simplicity, we assume that the gas velocity is always equal to the liquid one and the gas and liquid are both connected continuously to the outer vacuum through the same free boundary. Furthermore, the free boundary is assumed to move in the radial direction with the radial velocity, which will affect the angular velocity but does not affect the axial velocity. We construct two classes of global analytical solutions by using some ansatzs and show that the free boundary will spread outward linearly in time by using some new averaged quantities.
