Global regularity of solutions to the 2D steady compressible Prandtl equations

1.   Introduction

In this paper, we study the 2D steady compressible Prandtl equations in $\left\{ x > 0, y > 0 \right\}$:

where $(u, v)$ is velocity field, $\rho(x)$ and $U(x)$ are the traces at the boundary $\left\{y = 0\right\}$ of the density and the tangential velocity of the outer Euler flow. The states $\rho, U$ satisfy the Bernoulli law

The pressure $P(\rho)$ is a strictly increasing function of $\rho$ with $0 < \rho_{0}\leq\rho \leq \rho_{1}$ for some positive constants $\rho_{0}$ and $\rho_{1}$.

In this paper, we assume that the pressure satisfies the favorable pressure gradient $\partial_{x}P\leq0$, which implies that

The boundary layer is a very important branch in fluid mechanics. Ludwig Prandtl ^[14] first proposed the related theory of the boundary layer in 1904. Since then, many scholars have devoted themselves to studying the mathematical theory of the boundary layer ^{[1,7,8,9,11,12,17,18,19,21,22,23,24,26,27]}. For more complex fluids, such as compressible fluids, one can refer to ^[19,20,28] and the references therein for more details. Here, for our purposes, we only list some relevant works.

There are three very natural problems about the steady boundary layer: (ⅰ) Boundary layer separation, (ⅱ) whether Oleinik's solutions are smooth up to the boundary for any $x > 0$ and (ⅲ) vanishing viscosity limit of the steady Navier-Stokes system. Next, we will introduce the relevant research progress in these three aspects. The separation of the boundary layer is one of the very important research contents in the boundary layer theory. ^[17]. The earliest mathematical theory in this regard was proposed by Caffarelli and E in an unpublished paper ^[25]. Their results show that the existence time $x^{*}$ of the solutions to the steady Prandtl equations in the sense of Oleinik is finite under the adverse pressure gradient. Moreover, the family $u_{\mu}(x, y) = \mu^{-\frac{1}{2}}u(x^{*}-\mu x, \mu^{\frac{1}{4}}y)$ is compact in $C^{0}(\mathbb{R}_{+}^{2})$. Later, Dalibard and Masmoudi ^[4] proved the solution behaves near the separation as $\partial_{y} u(x, 0)\sim(x^{*}-x)^{\frac{1}{2}}$ for $x < x^{*}$. Shen, Wang and Zhang ^[18] found that the solution near the separation point behaves like $\partial_{y} u(x, y)\sim(x^{*}-x)^{\frac{1}{4}}$ for $x < x^{*}$. The above work further illustrates that the boundary layer separation is a very complex phenomenon. Recently, there were also some results about the steady compressible boundary layer separation ^[28]. The authors found that if the heat transfer in the boundary layer disappeared, then the singularity would be the same as that in the incompressible case. There is still relatively little mathematical theory on the separation of unsteady boundary layers. This is because back-flow and separation no longer occur simultaneously. When the boundary layer back-flow occurs, the characteristics of the boundary layer will continue to maintain for a period of time. Therefore, it is very important to study the back-flow point for further research on separation. Recently, Wang and Zhu ^[21] studied the back-flow problem of the two-dimensional unsteady boundary layer, which is a important work. It is very interesting to further establish the mathematical theory of the unsteady boundary layer separation.

Due to degenerate near the boundary, the high regularity of the solution of the boundary layer equation is a very difficult and meaningful work. In a local time $0 < x < x^{*}\ll 1$, Guo and Iyer ^[6] studied the high regularity of of the Prandtl equations. Oleinik and Samokhin ^[13] studied the existence of solutions of steady Prandtl equations and Wang and Zhang ^[23] proved that Oleinik's solutions are smooth up to the boundary $y = 0$ for any $x > 0$. The goal of this paper is to prove the global $C^{\infty}$ regularity of the two-dimensional steady compressible Prandtl equations. Recently, Wang and Zhang ^[24] found the explicit decay for general initial data with exponential decay by using the maximum principle.

In addition, in order to better understand the relevant background knowledge, we will introduce some other related work. As the viscosity goes to zero, the solutions of the three-dimensional evolutionary Navier-Stokes equations to the solutions of the Euler equations are an interesting problem. Beirão da Veiga and Crispo ^[2] proved that in the presence of flat boundaries convergence holds uniformly in time with respect to the initial data's norm. For the non-stationary Navier-Stokes equations in the 2D power cusp domain, the formal asymptotic expansion of the solution near the singular point is constructed and the constructed asymptotic decomposition is justified in ^[15,16] by Pileckas and Raciene.

Before introducing the main theorem, we introduce some preliminary knowledge. To use the von Mises transformation, we set

then we find that $(\tilde{u}, \tilde{v})$ satisfies:

By the von Mises transformation

and (1.3)–(1.5), we know that $w(x, \psi)$ satisfies:

with

In addition, we have

In ^[5], Gong, Guo and Wang studied the existence of the solutions of system (1.1) by using the von Mises transformation and the maximal principle proposed by Oleinik and Samokhin in ^[13]. Specifically, they proved that:

Theorem 1.1. If the initial data $u_{0}$ satisfies the following conditions:

and $\rho\in C^{2}([0, X_{0}])$, then there exists $0 < X\leq X_{0}$ such that system (1.1) admits a solution $u\in C^{1}([0, X)\times \mathbb{R}_{+})$. The solution has the following properties:

$(i)$ $u$ is continuous and bounded in $[0, X]\times \mathbb{R}_{+}$; $\partial_{y}u, \partial_{y}^{2}u$ are continuous and bounded in $[0, X)\times \mathbb{R}_{+}$; $v, \partial _{y}v, \partial_{x}u$ are locally bounded in $[0, X)\times \mathbb{R}_{+}$.

$(ii)$ $u(x, y) > 0$ in $[0, X)\times \mathbb{R}_{+}$ and for any $\bar{x} < X$, there exists $y_{0}, m > 0$ such that for all $(x, y)\in[0, \bar{x}]\times[0, y_{0}]$,

$(iii)$ if $\partial_{x}P\leq0(\partial_{x}\rho\leq0)$, then

Remarks 1.2. $u\in C^{2, \alpha}_{b}([0, +\infty))(\alpha > 0)$ means that $u$ is Hölder continuity and bounded.

This theorem shows that under the favorable pressure gradient, the solution is global-in-$x$. However, if the pressure is an adverse pressure gradient, then boundary layer separation will occur. Xin and Zhang ^[26] studied the global existence of weak solutions of unsteady Prandtl equations under the favorable pressure gradient. For the unsteady compressible Prandtl equation, similar results are obtained in ^[3]. Recently, Xin, Zhang and Zhao ^[27] proposed a direct proof of the existence of global weak solutions of the Prandtl equation. The key content of this paper is that they have studied the uniqueness and regularity of weak solutions. This method can be applied to the compressible Prandtl equation.

Our main results are as follows:

Theorem 1.3. If $u$ is a solution for equation (1.1) in Theorem 1.1, assume $u_{0}$ satisfies the condition (1.9) and the known function $\rho$ and $\partial_{x}P$ are smooth. Then, there exists a constant $C > 0$ depending only on $\varepsilon, X, u_{0}, P(\rho), k, m$ such that for any $(x, y)\in[\varepsilon, X]\times[0, +\infty),$

where $X, \varepsilon$ are positive constants with $\varepsilon < X$ and $m, k$ are any positive integers.

Remarks 1.4. Our methods may be used to other related models. There are similar results for the magnetohydrodynamics boundary layer and the thermal boundary layer. This work will be more difficult due to the influence of temperature and the magnetic field.

Due to the degeneracy near the boundary $\psi = 0$, the proof of the main result is divided into two parts, Theorem 1.5 and Theorem 1.6. This is similar to the result of the incompressible boundary layer, despite the fluid being compressible and the degeneracy near the boundary. Different from the incompressible case ^[23], we have no divergence-free conditions, which will bring new terms. It is one of the difficulties in this paper to deal with these terms. Now, we will briefly introduce our proof framework. First, we prove the following theorem in the domain $[\varepsilon, X]\times[0, Y_{1}]$ for a small $Y_{1}$. The key ingredients of proof is that we employ interior priori estimates and the maximum principle developed by Krylov ^[10].

Theorem 1.5. If $u$ is a solution for equation (1.1) in Theorem 1.1, assume $u_{0}$ satisfies the condition (1.9) and the known function $\rho$ and $\partial_{x}P$ are smooth. Then, there exists a small constant $Y_{1} > 0$ and a large constant $C > 0$ depending only on $\varepsilon, X, Y_{1}, u_{0}, P(\rho), k, m$ such that for any $(x, y)\in[\varepsilon, X]\times[0, Y_{1}],$

where $X, \varepsilon$ are positive constants with $\varepsilon < X$ and $m, k$ are any positive integers.

Next, we prove the following theorem in the domain $[\varepsilon, X]\times[Y_{2}, +\infty)$ for a small positive constant $Y_{2}$. The key of proof is that we prove (1.6) is a uniform parabolic equation in the domain $[\varepsilon, X]\times[Y_{2}, +\infty)$ in Section 4. Once we have (1.6) is a uniform parabolic equation, the global $C^{\infty}$ regularity of the solution is a direct result of interior Schauder estimates and classical parabolic regularity theory. The proof can be given similarly to the steady incompressible boundary layer. For the sake of simplicity of the paper, more details can be found in ^[23] and we omit it here.

Theorem 1.6. If $u$ is a solution for equation (1.1) in Theorem 1.1, assume $u_{0}$ satisfies the condition (1.9) and the known function $\rho$ and $\partial_{x}P$ are smooth. Then, there exists a constant $Y_{0} > 0$ such that for any constant $Y_{2}\in(0, Y_{0})$, there exists a constant $C > 0$ depending only on $\varepsilon, X, Y_{2}, u_{0}, P(\rho), k, m$ such that for any $(x, y)\in[\varepsilon, X]\times[Y_{2}, +\infty),$

where $X, \varepsilon$ are positive constants with $\varepsilon < X$ and $m, k$ are any positive integers.

Therefore, Theorem 1.3 can be directly proven by combining Theorem 1.5 with Theorem 1.6.

The organization of this paper is as follows. In Section 2, we study lower order and higher order regularity estimates. In Section 3, we prove Theorem 1.5 in the domain near $y = 0$ by transforming back to the original coordinates $(x, y)$. In Section 4, we prove (1.6) is a uniform parabolic equation by using the maximum principle and we also prove the Theorem 1.3.

2.   Lower order and higher order regularity estimates

2.1.   Lower order regularity estimates

In this subsection, we study the lower order regularity estimates using the standard interior a priori estimates developed by Krylov ^[10].

Lemma 2.1. If $u$ is a solution for equation (1.1) in Theorem 1.1, assume $u_{0}$ satisfies the condition (1.9)and the known function $\rho$ and $\partial_{x}P$ are smooth. Assume $0 < \varepsilon < X$, then there exists some positive constants $\delta_{1} > 0$ and $C$ independent of $\psi$ such that for any $(x, \psi)\in[\varepsilon, X]\times[0, \delta_{1}],$

Proof. Due to Lemma 2.1 in ^[5] (or Theorem 2.1.14 in ^[13]), there exists $\delta_{1} > 0$ for any $(x, \psi)\in[0, X]\times[0, \delta_{1}]$, such that for some $\alpha\in(0, \frac{1}{2})$ and positive constants $m, M$ (we assume $\delta_{1} < 1$),

By (1.6), we obtain

Take a smooth cutoff function $0 \leq \phi(x) \leq 1$ in $[0, X]$ such that

then

Combining with (2.1), we know

We take $\varphi(\psi) = \mu_{1} \psi-\mu_{2} \psi^{1+\beta}$ with constants $\mu_{1}, \mu_{2}$, then by (2.1) and (2.2), we get

By taking $\mu_{2}$ sufficiently large and $\alpha = \beta$, for $(x, \psi)\in(0, X] \times\left(0, \delta_{1}\right)$, we have

For any $\psi\in\left[0, \delta_{1}\right]$, let $\mu_{1} \geq \mu_{2}$, and we have

and take $\mu_{1}$ large enough depending on $M, \delta_{1}, \mu_{2}$ such that

Since $w(x, 0) = 0$, we know that for any $x\in[0, X]$,

By the maximum principle, it holds in $[0, X] \times[0, \delta_{1}]$ that

Let $\delta_{1}$ be chosen suitably small, for $(x, \psi)\in[\varepsilon, X] \times[0, \delta_{1}]$, and we obtain

Considering $-\partial_{x} w \phi-\varphi$, the result $-\partial_{x} w \leq \frac{\mu_{1}}{2} \psi$ in $[\varepsilon, X] \times[0, \delta_{1}]$ can be proved similarly. This completes the proof of the lemma.

Lemma 2.2. If $u$ is a solution for equation (1.1) in Theorem 1.1, assume $u_{0}$ satisfies the condition (1.9) and the known function $\rho$ and $\partial_{x}P$ are smooth. Assume $0 < \varepsilon < X$, then there exists some positive constants $\delta_{2} > 0$ and $C$ independent of $\psi$ such that for any $(x, \psi)\in[\varepsilon, X]\times[0, \delta_{2}],$

Proof. From Lemma 2.1, there exists $\delta_{1} > 0$ such that for any $(x, \psi)\in[\frac{\varepsilon}{2}, X] \times[0, \delta_{1}],$

Let $\Psi_{0} = \min \{\frac{2}{3} \delta_{1}, \frac{\varepsilon}{2}\}$, for any $(x_{0}, \psi_{0}) \in[\varepsilon, X] \times(0, \Psi_{0}]$, and we denote

By the definition of $\Psi_{0}$, we know $\Omega\subseteq[\frac{\varepsilon}{2}, X] \times[0, \delta_{1}]$, then it holds in $\Omega$ that

The following transformation $f$ is defined:

where $x-x_{0} = \psi_{0}^{\frac{3}{2}} \tilde{x}, \psi-\psi_{0} = \psi_{0} \tilde{\psi}$.

Since $\partial_{\tilde{x}} = \psi_{0}^{\frac{3}{2}}\partial_{x}, \partial_{\tilde{\psi}} = \psi_{0} \partial_{\psi}$, it holds in $\Omega$ that

Combining with (2.1), we get $0 < c \leq\psi_{0}^{-\frac{1}{2}} \sqrt{w} \leq C, |\psi_{0}^{-1} w| \leq C$, and for any $\widetilde{z}_{1}, \widetilde{z}_{2} \in \widetilde{\Omega}$,

This means that for any $\alpha \in(0, 1)$, we have

Since $P$ and $\rho$ are smooth, we have

By standard interior priori estimates (see Theorem 8.11.1 in ^[10] or Proposition 2.3 in ^[23]), we have

Let $f: = \partial_{x} w \psi_{0}^{-1}$, which satisfies

By (2.3), we have $|f| \leq C$ in $\widetilde{\Omega}$. Due to

we have

Since

which along with (2.4) and (2.5) gives

As before, by (2.4) and the density $\rho$ and $P$ are smooth, via the standard interior a priori estimates, it yield that

Therefore, we obtain

This completes the proof of the lemma.

2.2.   Higher order regularity estimates

In this subsection, we study the higher order regularity estimates using the maximum principle. The two main results of this subsection are Lemma 2.3 and Lemma 2.7.

Lemma 2.3. If $u$ is a solution for equation (1.1) in Theorem 1.1, assume $u_{0}$ satisfies the condition (1.9) and the known function $\rho$ and $\partial_{x}P$ are smooth. Assume $0 < \varepsilon < X$ and $k \geq 2$, then there exists some positive constants $\delta > 0$ and $C$ independent of $\psi$ such that for any $(x, \psi)\in[\varepsilon, X]\times[0, \delta],$

Proof. By Lemma 2.1 and Lemma 2.2, we may inductively assume that for $0 \leq j \leq k-1$, there holds that in $\left[\frac{\varepsilon}{2}, X\right] \times\left[0, \delta_{3}\right]$ (assume $\delta_{3}\ll1$),

We will prove that there exists $\delta_{4} < \delta_{3}$ so that in $[\varepsilon, X] \times[0, \delta_{4}]$,

The above results are deduced from the following Lemma 2.4, Lemma 2.5 and Lemma 2.6.

Lemma 2.4. If $u$ is a solution for equation (1.1) in Theorem 1.1, assume $u_{0}$ satisfies the condition (1.9) and the known function $\rho$ and $\partial_{x}P$ are smooth. Assume that (2.6) holds, then there is a positive constant $M_{1}$ for any $(x, \psi)\in\left[\frac{7 \varepsilon}{8}, X\right] \times\left[0, \delta_{3}\right]$ and $0 < \beta \ll 1$,

Proof. Take a smooth cutoff function $0 \leq \phi(x) \leq 1$ in $[0, X]$ such that

As in ^[23], fix any $h < \frac{\varepsilon}{8}$. Set

and let

(ⅰ) $f = \frac{\partial_{x}^{k-1} w(x-h, \psi)-\partial_{x}^{k-1} w(x, \psi)}{-h} \phi+M \psi \ln \psi,$ $(x, \psi)\in[\frac{5 \varepsilon}{8}, X]\times [0, +\infty)$,

(ⅱ) $f = M \psi \ln \psi,$ $(x, \psi)\in[0, \frac{5 \varepsilon}{8})\times[\psi, +\infty),$

so we get $f(x, 0) = 0$, $f(0, \psi) \leq 0$. We know

where $M$ is large enough. Then, by choosing the appropriate $M$, we know that the positive maximum of $f$ cannot be achieved in the interior. Finally, the lemma can be proven by the arbitrariness of $h$.

Assume that there exists a point

such that

It is easy to know that

By (2.1), denote $\xi = \sqrt{m}$, we have

By (1.6), a direct calculation gives

and

For $x \geq \frac{5 \varepsilon}{8}$, we consider the following equality

where

with $p_{1} = (x-h, \psi), p = (x, \psi)$.

For any $x \geq \frac{5 \varepsilon}{8}$, by (2.6), it is easy to conclude that

where $C$ is dependent on the parameter $h$.

Since

combining with (2.6), $f_{1}(p_{0}) > 0$ and $\partial_{x}P\leq 0$, it holds at $p = p_{0}$ that

Summing up (2.10) and (2.11), we conclude that at $p = p_{0}$,

This along with (2.8) shows that for $x \geq \frac{5 \varepsilon}{8}$, it holds at $p = p_{0}$ that

By taking $M$ large enough, we have $\partial_{x} f\left(p_{0}\right)-\sqrt{w} \partial_{\psi}^{2} f\left(p_{0}\right) < 0$. By the definition of $p_{0}$, we obtain

which leads to a contradiction. Therefore, for $M$ chosen as above and independent of $h$, we have

We can similarly prove that $\min _{\bar{\Omega}} f \geq 0$ by replacing $M \psi \ln \psi$ in $f$ with $-M \psi \ln \psi$. By the arbitrariness of $h$, for any $(x, \psi)\in(\frac{7\varepsilon}{8}, X] \times(0, \delta_{3}]$ we have

Due to

which along with (2.6) shows that in $(\frac{7}{8} \varepsilon, X] \times(0, \delta_{3}]$,

Lemma 2.5. If $u$ is a solution for equation (1.1) in Theorem 1.1, assume $u_{0}$ satisfies the condition (1.9) and the known function $\rho$ and $\partial_{x}P$ are smooth. Assume that (2.6) holds, then for any $(x, \psi)\in[\frac{15}{16} \varepsilon, X] \times[0, \delta_{3}]$,

Proof. Take a smooth cutoff function $\phi(x)$ so that

Set

with constants $\mu_{1}, \mu_{2}$. Let $\beta$ be small enough in Lemma 2.4. Then it holds in $[\frac{7 \varepsilon}{8}, X] \times[0, \delta_{3}]$ that

We denote

As in ^[23], we have $f(x, 0) = 0$, $f(0, \psi) \leq 0$ and $f(x, \delta_{3}) \leq 0$ by taking $\mu_{1}$ large depending on $\mu_{2}$. We claim that the maximum of $f$ cannot be achieved in the interior.

By (1.6), we have

and

For any $x \geq \frac{7 \varepsilon}{8}$, $0 \leq j \leq k-1$ and $0 \leq m \leq k-1$, from (2.6) and (2.14), we get

Then let $\beta\ll\frac{1}{2}$, for $0 \leq m \leq k-1$ and $x \geq \frac{7 \varepsilon}{8}$, we obtain

Therefore, we conclude that for $x \geq \frac{7 \varepsilon}{8}$,

By the above inequality and (2.1), it holds at $p = p_{0}$ that

where $\xi = \left(\frac{3}{2}-\beta\right)\left(\frac{1}{2}-\beta\right) \sqrt{m} > 0$. Then we have $\partial_{x} f-\sqrt{w} \partial_{\psi}^{2} f < 0$ in $\Omega$ by taking $\mu_{2}$ large depending on $C_{2}$. This means that the maximum of $f$ cannot be achieved in the interior. Therefore, we have

In the same way, we can prove that

So, for any $(x, \psi)\in[\frac{15}{16} \varepsilon, X] \times[0, \delta_{3}]$, we have

Combining with (2.6) and (2.13), it holds in $[\frac{15}{16} \varepsilon, X] \times[0, \delta_{3}]$ that

This completes the proof of the lemma.

Lemma 2.6. If $u$ is a solution for equation (1.1) in Theorem 1.1, assume $u_{0}$ satisfies the condition (1.9) and the known function $\rho$ and $\partial_{x}P$ are smooth. Assume that (2.6) holds, then for any $(x, \psi)\in[\varepsilon, X] \times[0, \delta_{4}]$,

Proof. By Lemma 2.5 and (2.6), for any $(x, \psi)\in[\frac{15}{16} \varepsilon, X] \times[0, \delta_{3}]$,

Set $\Psi_{0} = \min \{\frac{2}{3} \delta_{3}, \frac{\varepsilon}{16}\}$, for $(x_{0}, \psi_{0}) \in[\varepsilon, X] \times(0, \Psi_{0}]$, we denote

A direct calculation gives

By (1.6), we obtain

and

then

The following transformation $f$ is defined:

where $x-x_{0} = \psi_{0}^{\frac{3}{2}} \tilde{x}, \psi-\psi_{0} = \psi_{0} \tilde{\psi}$.

Let $f = \partial_{x}^{k} w \psi_{0}^{-1}$, we get

From the proof of Lemma 2.2 and Lemma 2.6, we know that in $\widetilde{\Omega}$ for $\alpha \in(0, 1)$,

By (2.6), (2.15) and the equality

we can conclude that for $j \leq k-1$ and $m \leq k-2$,

Combining (2.4) with (2.5), we can obtain

By the standard interior priori estimates, we obtain

Therefore, this means that

Since $\left(x_{0}, \psi_{0}\right)$ is arbitrary, this completes the proof of the lemma.

Lemma 2.7. If $u$ is a solution for equation (1.1) in Theorem 1.1, assume $u_{0}$ satisfies the condition (1.9) and the known function $\rho$ and $\partial_{x}P$ are smooth. Assume $0 < \varepsilon < X$ and integer $m, k \geq 0$, then there exists a positive constant $\delta > 0$ such that for any $(x, \psi)\in[\varepsilon, X]\times[0, \delta],$

Proof. From Lemma 2.1, (2.1), Lemma 2.2 and Lemma 2.3, a direct calculation can prove that

and (2.16) holds for $m = 0, 1, 2$. Then for $0 \leq m \leq j$ with $j \geq 1$, we inductively assume that

In the next part, we will prove that (2.17) still holds for $m = j+1$.

By (1.6), we obtain

Combining with (2.17), we get

By straight calculations, we get

Combining the above equality with (2.17), we can conclude that

This completes the proof of the lemma.

3.   Proof of Theorem 1.5

In this section, we will prove the regularity of the solution $u$ in the domain

Proof of Theorem 1.5:

Proof. For the convenience of proof, we denote

A direct calculation gives (see P13 in ^[23])

By (2.1) and Lemma 2.3, we have $|\partial_{x} \psi| \leq C \psi$. Due to $\partial_{y} = \sqrt{w} \partial_{\psi}$, we obtain

By $|\partial_{x} \psi| \leq C \psi$ and Lemma 2.7, we obtain that Theorem 1.5 holds for $m = 0, 1, 2,$

We inductively assume that for any integer $k$ and $m \geq 1$,

A direct calculation gives

and we can deduce from (3.1) and (3.2) that

This completes the proof of the theorem.

4.   Proof of Theorem 1.3 and 1.6

In this section, we prove our main theorem. The key point is to prove that (1.6) is a uniform parabolic equation. The proof is based on the classical parabolic maximum principle. The specific proof details are as follows.

Proof. By (1.2) and $\partial_{x}P \leq 0$, we obtain

By (1.7) and $w$ increasing in $\psi$ (see below), we know that there exists some positive constants $\Psi$ and $C_{0}$ such that for any $(x, \psi)\in[0, X] \times[\Psi, +\infty),$

From Theorem 1.1, we know that there exists positive constants $y_{0}, M, m$ such that for any $(x, \psi)\in[0, X] \times[0, y_{0}]$ (we can take $y_{0}$ to be small enough),

The fact that $\psi\sim y^{2}$ is near the boundary $y = 0$ (see Remark 4.1 in ^[23]), for some small positive constant $0 < \kappa < 1$, we get

for some constant $\sigma > 0$ depends on $\kappa, m, M$.

We denote

By (4.2) and (4.3), we get $\tilde{u}(x, \sigma y_{0}) \geq m \sigma y_{0}$, then for any $x\in[0, X]$, we have

Since the initial data $u_{0}$ satisfies the condition (1.9) and $w = \tilde{u}^{2}$, we know $w(0, \psi) > 0$ for $\psi > 0$ and there exists a positive constant $\zeta$, such that for $\psi \in[\frac{\kappa}{2} y_{0}^{2}, \Psi]$,

Then, we only consider

We denote $H(x, \psi): = e^{-\lambda x}\partial_{\psi}w(x, \psi)$, which satisfies the following system in the region $\Omega_{0} = \left\{(x, \psi)|0\leq x < X, 0 < \psi < +\infty\right\}$:

Then, we choose $\lambda$ properly large such that $\lambda-2\frac{\partial_{x}\rho}{\rho}\geq 0$. Due to

it follows that

which means $\partial_{\psi}w\geq0$ in $[0, X)\times\mathbb{R}_{+}$. Hence, $w$ is increasing in $\psi$. Therefore, we know that there exists a positive constant $\lambda\geq m^{2} \sigma^{2} y_{0}^{2}$ such that for any $x\in[0, X],$

By (1.6), for any $\varepsilon > 0$, we know $W: = w+\varepsilon x$ satisfies the following system in $\Omega_{1}:$

where

Since $\partial_{x}P\leq0$, we know the diffusive term $\mathcal{F} > 0.$ Therefore, the minimum cannot be reached inside $\Omega_{1}$. Set

then by the maximum principle, we obtain $W = w+\varepsilon x\geq \eta_{0}$. Let $\varepsilon \rightarrow 0$, we have $w \geq \eta_{0}$ in $\Omega_{1}$. Then we denote

combining with (4.1), we have $w\geq\eta$ in $\Omega$. Therefore, there exists some positive constant $c$ such that $c\leq w$ in $\Omega$. From Theorem 1.1, we have $w \leq C$ in $\Omega$. In sum, there exists positive constants $c, C$ such that $c \leq w \leq C$ in $\Omega$. This further means that

where $C$ depends on $X$. Therefore, we prove (1.6) is a uniform parabolic equation. Furthermore, by Theorem 1.1, we know $\partial_{y}\tilde{u}, \partial_{y}^{2}\tilde{u}$ are continuous and bounded in $[0, X)\times \mathbb{R}_{+}$. Combining $\rho$, $\partial_{x}P$ are smooth, (4.8) with

we obtain

Once we have the above conclusion, the proof of Theorem 1.6 can be given in a similar fashion to ^[23]. Here, we provide a brief explanation for the reader's convenience. More details can be found in ^[23].

Step 1: For any $(x_{1}, \psi_{1})\in[\varepsilon, X]\times[ \kappa y_{0}^{2}, +\infty)$, we denote

Step 2: Note that the known function $\rho$, $\partial_{x}P$ is smooth, we can repeat interior Schauder estimates in $\Omega_{x_{1}, \psi_{1}}$ to achieve uniform estimates independent of choice of $(x_{1}, \psi_{1})$ for any order derivatives of $w$. Since the width and the length of $\Omega_{x_{1}, \psi_{1}}$ are constants and the estimates employed are independent of $(x_{1}, \psi_{1})$, restricting the estimates to the point $(x_{1}, \psi_{1})$, we can get for any $m < +\infty, |\nabla^{m}w(x_{1}, \psi)|\leq C_{X, m, y_{0}, \varepsilon}$.

Step 3: Since $(x_{1}, \psi_{1})$ is arbitrary, we have for any $m < +\infty, |\nabla^{m}w(x_{1}, \psi)|\leq C_{X, m, y_{0}, \varepsilon}$ in $[\varepsilon, X]\times[ \kappa y_{0}^{2}, +\infty)$. Then, as in Section 3, we can prove Theorem 1.6.

Finally, Theorem 1.3 is proven by combining Theorem 1.5 and Theorem 1.6.
