Global stability of rarefaction wave to the outflow problem of the one-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes-Korteweg system
摘要
In this article, we are concerned with the global existence and time-asymptotic stability of strong solutions to the outflow problem of the one-dimensional isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes-Korteweg system with γ-law type pressure and power like density-dependent viscosity and capillarity in the half-space ℝ+. Under certain requirements on the spatial asymptotic states and boundary data, the time-asymptotic profile of this problem is the 2-rarefaction wave of the corresponding Euler system. By employing the elementary L2-energy method together with Kanel’s technique, we prove that this 2-rarefaction wave is time-asymptotically nonlinear stable provided that the pressure, viscosity and capillarity satisfy some structural conditions. Here both the initial perturbation and the strength of the rarefaction wave can be arbitrarily large.
