Global stability of superposition of viscous contact wave and rarefaction waves for compressible Navier-Stokes system with temperature-dependent transport coefficients and large data
Abstract
We study the Cauchy problem for the one-dimensional full compressible Navier--Stokes equations with viscosity $μ(θ)=\tildeμθ^α$ and heat conductivity $κ(θ)=\tildeκθ^β$. For each fixed $β\ge0$, we prove the global stability of the combination of a viscous contact wave with rarefaction waves, provided that the viscosity exponent $α$ and the total wave strength are sufficiently small. The initial perturbation may be large in $H^1$, and the specific volume and temperature are assumed to have positive initial lower bounds. The solution remains uniformly bounded in $H^1$ relative to the wave, and converges uniformly to that wave as time tends to infinity. We show that both the specific volume and the temperature admit time-uniform lower and upper bound. Estimates for the logarithmic volume derivative and the temperature gradient then close the $H^1$ estimates without requiring a second derivative of the initial specific volume.
