In this paper, we show that steady solutions of the hydrostatic Euler equations in an infinite strip strictly away from stagnation must be shear flows. Furthermore, we prove the existence, uniqueness, and asymptotic behavior of global steady solutions to the hydrostatic Euler equations in general nozzles. In terms of stream function formulation, the hydrostatic Euler equations can be written as a degenerate elliptic equation, for which the Liouville type theorem in a strip is a consequence of the analysis for the second order ordinary differential equation (ODE). The analysis on the associated ODE also helps determine the far field behavior of solutions in general nozzles, which plays an important role in guaranteeing the equivalence of stream function formulation. One of the key ingredients for the analysis on flows in a general nozzle is a new transformation, which combines a change of variable and an Euler–Lagrange transformation. With the aid of this new transformation, the solutions in the new coordinates enjoy explicit representations so that the regularity with respect to the horizontal variable can be gained in a clear way.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55484,"journal":{"name":"Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis","volume":"248 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142672491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The newly formed particle has volume and area equal to the sum of the respective quantities of the two colliding particles. After collision, the fusion phase begins and during it the geometry of the interacting particles is modified in such a way that the volume of the total system is preserved and the surface area is reduced.
