Blowup phenomena of solutions to the Euler equations for compressible fluid flow

Abstract The blowup phenomena of solutions is investigated for the Euler equations of compressible fluid flow. The approach is to construct special explicit solutions with spherical symmetry to study certain blowup behavior of multi-dimensional solutions. In particular, the special solutions with velocity of the form c ( t ) x are constructed to show the expanding and blowup properties. The solution with velocity of the form a ˙ ( t ) x / a ( t ) for γ ⩾ 1 and for any space dimensions is obtained as a corollary. Another conclusion is that there is only trivial solution with velocity of the form c ( t ) | x | α - 1 x for α ≠ 1 and multi-space dimensions.
