McKenzie Black, Changhui Tan. Asymptotic behaviors for the compressible Euler system with nonlinear velocity alignment. Journal of Differential Equations, Volume 380, pp. 198-227 (2024).
Abstract: We consider the pressureless compressible Euler system with a family of nonlinear velocity alignment. The system is a nonlinear extension of the Euler-alignment system in collective dynamics. We show the asymptotic emergent phenomena of the system: alignment and flocking. Different types of nonlinearity and nonlocal communication protocols are investigated, resulting in a variety of different asymptotic behaviors.
