Shifted shock formation for the 3D compressible Euler equations with damping and variation of the vorticity

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the shock formation problem for the 3-dimensional(3D) compressible Euler equations with damping inspired by the work \cite{BSV3Dfulleuler}. It will be shown that for a class of large data, the damping can not prevent the formation of point shock, and the damping effect shifts the shock time and the wave amplitude while the shock location and the blow up direction remain the same with the information of this point shock being computed explicitly. Moreover, the vorticity is concentrated in the non-blow-up direction, which varies exponentially due to the damping effect. Our proof is based on the estimates for the modulated self-similar variables and lower bounds for the Lagrangian trajectories.
