Abstract

We study the time-asymptotic stability of solutions to the inflow problem for the one-dimensional Navier--Stokes--Fourier system on the half-line. We consider the most generic wave pattern: the superposition of a degenerate boundary layer, a rarefaction, a viscous contact wave, and a viscous shock. More precisely, if the boundary data belongs to the subsonic region, and the initial perturbation and strengths of the boundary layer, viscous contact wave, and viscous shock are sufficiently small, then the solution to the inflow problem converges to the corresponding superposition, up to a time-dependent shift for a shock. The rarefaction wave, however, is allowed to have arbitrarily large strength. To control the viscous shock, we employ the method of $a$-contraction with shifts. A notable feature of our analysis is that this method can be applied even when the rarefaction wave has large amplitude. In particular, this resolves, in a generic setting, the open problem of the stability of inflow wave patterns containing a viscous shock for Navier--Stokes--Fourier system.

Time-asymptotic stability of generic Riemann solutions for viscous-dispersive heat-conducting compressible fluids

We establish the time-asymptotic stability of generic Riemann solutions for the one-dimensional Navier-Stokes-Fourier-Korteweg (NSFK) system, which describes the dynamics of viscous, heat-conducting, compressible fluids with internal capillarity. We prove that, for the adiabatic exponent $\gamma\in(1,2]$, the solution...

Asymptotic stability of viscous shock for the outflow problem of 3D Navier-Stokes system

We establish the asymptotic stability of planar viscous shock waves for the outflow problem of the three-dimensional barotropic compressible Navier--Stokes equations in a half-space, with periodic boundary conditions imposed in the transverse directions. For a weak shock located sufficiently far from the boundary, we p...

Time-asymptotic stability of generic Riemann solutions for the system of heat-conductive ideal gas without viscosity

This paper is concerned with the time-asymptotic stability of the generic Riemann solution for the one-dimensional system of heat-conductive ideal gas without viscosity, where the generic Riemann solution consists of a shock, a contact discontinuity, and a rarefaction wave. We prove that, as time tends to infinity, the...

Stability of composite waves consisting of a non-classical Liu shock and a rarefaction wave for a non-convex viscoelastic system

We investigate the time-asymptotic stability of composite waves consisting of a non-classical Liu shock and a rarefaction wave for non-convex viscoelastic system. By choosing delicate time-dependent shift functions to the viscous shock and suitable weight functions for the relative entropy, we succeed in proving the ti...

We study the nonlinear stability of a composite wave consisting of a traveling wave and a rarefaction wave for a parabolic-hyperbolic system arising from chemotaxis. We prove that if the initial value is a small $H^1$-type perturbation of composite wave, then the system admits a global solution that converges toward th...
