Asymptotics toward rarefaction waves and vacuum for 1-d Compressible Navier–Stokes equations
Misha Perepelitsa
Abstract: In this work we study time asymptotic behavior of solutions of 1-d Compressible Navier–Stokes equations toward solutions of Euler equations that consist of two rarefaction waves separated by a vacuum region. The analysis relies on various energy estimates.
