Asymptotic stability of the composite wave of rarefaction wave and contact wave to nonlinear viscoelasticity model with non-convex flux

In this paper, we consider the wave propagations of viscoelastic materials, which has been derived by Taiping-Liu to approximate the viscoelastic dynamic system with fading memory (see [T.P.Liu(1988)\cite{LiuTP}]) by the Chapman-Enskog expansion. By constructing a set of linear diffusion waves coupled with the high-order diffusion waves to achieve cancellations to approximate the viscous contact wave well and explicit expressions, the nonlinear stability of the composite wave is obtained by a continuum argument. It emphasis that, the stress function in our paper is a general non-convex function, which leads to several essential differences from strictly hyperbolic systems such as the Euler system. Our method is completely new and can be applied to more general systems and a new weighted Poincar\'e type of inequality is established, which is more challenging compared to the convex case and this inequality plays an important role in studying systems with non-convex flux.

Vanishing viscosity limit to the planar rarefaction wave with vacuum for 3-D full compressible Navier-Stokes equations with temperature-dependent transport coefficients

In this paper, we construct a family of global-in-time solutions of the 3-D full compressible Navier-Stokes (N-S) equations with temperature-dependent transport coefficients (including viscosity and heat-conductivity), and show that at arbitrary times {and arbitrary strength} this family of solutions converges to planar rarefaction waves connected to the vacuum as the viscosity vanishes in the sense of $L^\infty(\R^3)$. We consider the Cauchy problem in $\R^3$ with perturbations of the infinite global norm, particularly, periodic perturbations. To deal with the infinite oscillation, we construct a suitable ansatz carrying this periodic oscillation such that the difference between the solution and the ansatz belongs to some Sobolev space and thus the energy method is feasible. The novelty of this paper is that the viscosity and heat-conductivity are temperature-dependent and degeneracies caused by vacuum. Thus the a priori assumptions and two Gagliardo-Nirenberg type inequalities are essentially used. Next, more careful energy estimates are carried out in this paper, by studying the zero and non-zero modes of the solutions, we obtain not only the convergence rate concerning the viscosity and heat conductivity coefficients but also the exponential time decay rate for the non-zero mode.

Nonlinear stability of the composite wave of planar rarefaction waves and planar contact waves for viscous conservation laws with non-convex flux under multi-dimensional periodic perturbations

In this paper, we study the nonlinear stability of the composite wave consisting of planar rarefaction and planar contact waves for viscous conservation laws with degenerate flux under multi-dimensional periodic perturbations. To the level of our knowledge, it is the first stability result of the composite wave for conservation laws in several dimensions. Moreover, the perturbations studied in the present paper are periodic, which keep constantly oscillating at infinity. Suitable ansatz is constructed to overcome the difficulty caused by this kind of perturbation and delicate estimates are done on zero and non-zero modes of perturbations. We obtain satisfactory decay rates for zero modes and exponential decay rates for non-zero modes.

Asymptotic stability of the rarefaction wave for the non-viscous and heat-conductive ideal gas in half space

This paper is concerned with the impermeable wall problem for an ideal polytropic model of non-viscous and heat-conductive gas in one-dimensional half space. It is shown that the 3-rarefaction wave is stable under some smallness conditions. The proof is given by an elementary energy method and the key point is to control the boundary terms due to the less dissipativity of the system.

Asymptotic stability for the inflow problem of the heat-conductive ideal gas without viscosity

This paper is devoted to studying the inflow problem for an ideal polytropic model with non-viscous gas in one-dimensional half space. We showed the existence of the boundary layer in different areas. By employing the energy method, we also proved the unique global-in-time solution existed and the asymptotic stability of both the boundary layer and the superposition with the 3-rarefaction wave under some smallness conditions.
