Two-dimensional vortex sheets for the nonisentropic Euler equations: nonlinear stability (Q1736167)

The authors demonstrate the short-time existence and nonlinear stability of vortex sheets for the nonisenthropic compressible Euler equations in two spatial dimensions. Their work is based on the weakly linear stability result of \textit{A. Morando} and \textit{P. Trebeschi} [J. Hyperbolic Differ. Equ. 5, No. 3, 487--518 (2008; Zbl 1170.35018)]. The missing normal derivatives are compensated through the equations of the linearised vorticity and entropy when deriving higher-order energy estimates. Their proof of the resolution for this nonlinear problem follows from certain a priori tame estimates on the effective linear problem in the usual Sobolev spaces and a suitable Nash-Moser iteration scheme.
