Wave-breaking for two-component Fornberg-Whitham systems with dissipation

Xi Zhu, Min Zhu, Ying Wang, Ke Wang

Abstract:
In this article, we study the Cauchy problem for a two-component Fornberg-Whitham (2FW) system in fluid dynamics, incorporating a dissipation term to account for energy loss. In the 2FW system, the analysis of blow-up phenomena is complicated due to its non-integrable structure and the lack of sufficient useful conservation laws. Adding dissipation term makes the problem even more challenging, since the \(L^2\) norm of \(u\) grows exponentially in time rather than polynomially. Unlike previous works that focus on Riccati-type inequalities with polynomial expressions, we consider a case where the involved term exhibits exponential growth. This induces an extension of the Riccati-type inequalities to handle exponential forms, from which we obtain a new blow-up analysis result. As a consequence, we establish a novel blow-up criterion and obtain three blow-up results.
