Abstract

We study global-in-time classical solutions to the two-dimensional (2D) compressible Euler system with axial symmetry. We derive several groups of suitable characteristic decompositions for the 2D axisymmetric compressible Euler system. Using these characteristic decompositions, we find several classes of expanding initial data to ensure the existence of global-in-time classical solutions. These solutions have an expanding vacuum region centered at the origin.
