From the highly compressible Navier-Stokes equations to the Porous Medium equation - rate of convergence

We consider the one-dimensional Cauchy problem for the Navier-Stokes equations with degenerate viscosity coefficient in highly compressible regime. It corresponds to the compressible Navier-Stokes system with large Mach number equal to $\frac{1}{\sqrt{\varepsilon}}$ for $\varepsilon$ going to $0$. When the initial velocity is related to the gradient of the initial density, a solution to the continuity equation-$\rho_\varepsilon$ converges to the unique solution to the porous medium equation [13,14]. For viscosity coefficient $\mu(\rho_\varepsilon)=\rho_\varepsilon^\alpha$ with $\alpha>1$, we obtain a rate of convergence of $\rho_\varepsilon$ in $L^\infty(0,T; H^{-1}(\mathbb{R}))$; for $1<\alpha\leq\frac{3}{2}$ the solution $\rho_\varepsilon$ converges in $L^\infty(0,T;L^2(\mathbb{R}))$. For compactly supported initial data, we prove that most of the mass corresponding to solution $\rho_\varepsilon$ is located in the support of the solution to the porous medium equation. The mass outside this support is small in terms of $\varepsilon$.Comment: 19 page

Incompressible limit of the Navier-Stokes model with a growth term

Starting from isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations with growth term in the continuity equation, we rigorously justify that performing an incompressible limit one arrives to the two-phase free boundary fluid system

On strong dynamics of compressible two-component mixture flow

We investigate a system describing the flow of a compressible two-component mixture. The system is composed of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations coupled with non-symmetric reaction-diffusion equations describing the evolution of fractional masses. We show the local existence and, under certain smallness assumptions, also the global existence of unique strong solutions in $L_p-L_q$ framework. Our approach is based on so called entropic variables which enable to rewrite the system in a symmetric form. Then, applying Lagrangian coordinates, we show the local existence of solutions applying the $L_p$-$L_q$ maximal regularity estimate. Next, applying exponential decay estimate we show that the solution exists globally in time provided the initial data is sufficiently close to some constants. The nonlinear estimates impose restrictions $2<p<\infty, \ 3<q<\infty$. However, for the purpose of generality we show the linear estimates for wider range of $p$ and $q$
