Abstract:
In this article, we study the zero-viscosity-capillarity limit problem for the one-dimensional
full compressible Navier-Stokes-Korteweg equations. This equation models
compressible viscous fluids with internal capillarity and heat
conductivity. We prove that if the solution of the inviscid Euler
equations is piecewise constants with a contact discontinuity, then
there exist smooth solutions to the one-dimensional full
compressible Navier-Stokes-Korteweg system which converge to the
inviscid solution away from the contact discontinuity.
It converges a rate of \(\epsilon^{1/4}\) as the the viscosity \(\mu=\epsilon\),
heat-conductivity coefficient \(\alpha=\nu\epsilon\) and the
capillarity \(\kappa=\lambda\epsilon^2\) and \(\epsilon\) tends to
zero. The proof is completed using the energy method and the scaling
technique.
