Abstract:

In this work, we investigate the stability of transonic shock phenomena with self-similar structure for the compressible, isentropic Euler system in a finite expanding nozzle or an annular domain. Assuming radial symmetry and prescribing small perturbations of the background solution at the inlet as the supersonic initial condition, we prove that a unique transonic shock solution exists for exit pseudo-velocities within a suitable range. Moreover, the shock location is a monotonically increasing function of the pseudo-velocity at the exit.

Key words: Euler equations, self-similar solutions, transonic shocks, stability.
