The pointwise estimates of diffusion wave of the compressible micropolar fluids

The pointwise estimates for the compressible micropolar fluids in dimension three are given, which exhibit generalized Huygens' principle for the fluid density and fluid momentum as the compressible Navier-Stokes equation, while the micro-rational momentum behaves like the fluid momentum of the Euler equation with damping. To circumvent the complexity from 7 x 7 Green's matrix, we use the decomposition of fluid part and electromagnetic part for the momentums to study three smaller Green's matrices. The following from this decomposition is that we have to deal with the new problem that the nonlinear terms contain nonlocal operators. We solve it by using the natural match of these new Green's functions and the nonlinear terms. Moreover, to derive the different pointwise estimates for different unknown variables such that the estimate of each unknown variable is in agreement with its Green's function, we develop some new estimates on the nonlinear interplay between different waves.
