This model describes nonlinear acoustics in perfect gases under the irrotational flow. By means of the Fourier analysis we will derive $L^2$ estimates for the solution of the linear homogeneous problem and its derivatives. Then, we will apply these estimates to study three different topics: the optimality of the decay estimates in the case $n\\geqslant 5$ and the optimal growth rate for the $L^2$-norm of the solution for $n=3,4$; the singular limit problem in determining the first- and second-order profiles for the solution of the linear Blackstock's model with respect to the small thermal diffusivity; the proof of the existence of global (in time) small data Sobolev solutions with suitable regularity for a nonlinear Blackstock's model.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-04-20T10:03:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "asymptotic behaviors", "thermoviscous flow", "small data sobolev solutions", "nonlinear acoustics", "small thermal diffusivity" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
