On the Riccati dynamics of 2D EulerPoisson equations with attractive forcing

The Euler-Poisson (EP) system describes the dynamic behaviour of many important physical flows. In this work, a Riccati system that governs pressureless two-dimensional EP equations is studied. The evolution of divergence is governed by the Riccati type equation with several nonlinear/nonlocal terms. Among these, the vorticity accelerates divergence while others further amplify the blow-up behaviour of a flow. The growth of these blow-up amplifying terms are related to the Riesz transform of density, which lacks a uniform bound makes it difficult to study global solutions of the multi-dimensional EP system. We show that the Riccati system can afford to have global solutions, as long as the growth rate of blow-up amplifying terms is not higher than exponential, and admits global smooth solutions for a large set of initial configurations. To show this, we construct an auxiliary system in 3D space and find an invariant space of the system, then comparison with the original 2D system is performed. Some numerical examples are also presented.
