A hyperbolic-parabolic system arising in pulse combustion: existence of solutions for the linearized problem

Olga Terlyga, Hamid Bellout, Frederick Bloom

Abstract:
A mixed hyperbolic-parabolic system is derived for a lumped parameter continuum model of pulse combustion. For a regularized version of the initial-boundary value problem for an associated linear system, with time-dependent boundary conditions, Galerkin approximations are used to establish the existence of a suitable class of unique solutions. Standard parabolic theory is then employed to established higher regularity for the solutions of the regularized problem. Finally, a priori estimates are derived which allow for letting the artificial viscosity, in the regularized system, approach zero so as to obtain the existence of a unique solution for the original mixed hyperbolic-parabolic problem.
