چکیده
It is shown that expansion waves for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations are nonlinearly stable. The expansion waves are constructed for the compressible Euler equations based on the inviscid Burgers equation. Our result shows that Navier-Stokes equations and Euler equations are timeasymptotically equivalent on the level of expansion waves. The result is proved using the energy method, making essential use of the expansion of the underlining nonlinear waves and the specific form of the constitutive eqution for a polytropic gas.

Nonlinear Stability of Rarefaction Waves for the Compressible Navier-stokes Equations with Large Initial Perturbation
The expansion waves for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations have recently been shown to be nonlinear stable. The nonlinear stability results are called local stability or global stability depending on whether theH1−norm of the initial perturbation is small or not. Up to now, local stability results have been well established. However, for global stability, only partial results have been ob...

We prove the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations for one-dimensional compressible heat-conducting fluids with centered rarefaction data of small strength exists globally in time, and moreover, as the viscosity and heat-conductivity coefficients tend to zero, the global solution converges to the centered rarefaction wave solution of the corresponding Euler equations uniformly away from the i...

In this paper, we study the large time asymptotic behavior toward rarefaction waves for solutions to the 1-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations with density-dependent viscosities for general initial data whose far fields are connected by a rarefaction wave to the corresponding Euler equations with one end state being vacuum. First, a global-in-time weak solution around the rarefacti...
متن کاملStability of Wave Patterns to the Inflow Problem of Full Compressible Navier-Stokes Equations
The inflow problem of full compressible Navier-Stokes equations is considered on the half line (0,+∞). Firstly, we give the existence (or non-existence) of the boundary layer solution to the inflow problem when the right end state (ρ+, u+, θ+) belongs to the subsonic, transonic and supersonic regions respectively. Then the asymptotic stability of not only the single contact wave but also the su...
