Asymptotic behavior of solutions to the full compressible Navier-Stokes equations in the half space (Q620030)

The initial-boundary value problem to the one-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations is studied in the set \(x>0\), \(t>0\): \[ \begin{aligned} &\frac{\partial \rho}{\partial t}+\frac{\partial }{\partial x}\,(\rho u)=0,\\ & \frac{\partial }{\partial t}\,(\rho u)+\frac{\partial }{\partial x}\,(\rho u^2+p)=\mu\frac{\partial^2 u }{\partial x^2},\\ & \frac{\partial }{\partial t}\left(\rho\left(e+\frac{u^2}{2}\right)\right)+ \frac{\partial }{\partial x}\left(\rho u\left(e+\frac{u^2}{2}\right)+pu\right)=k\frac{\partial^2 \theta}{\partial x^2}+\frac{\partial }{\partial x}\left(\mu u\,\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}\right), \end{aligned} \] where \(u\) is the velocity, \(\rho\) is the density, \(p\) is the pressure, \(\theta\) is the absolute temperature, \(\mu=const>0\) is the viscosity coefficient, \(k=const>0\) is the coefficient of heat conduction, \(e\) is the internal energy. The unknown functions \(\rho,u,\theta\) satisfy to the initial and boundary conditions \[ \begin{alignedat}{2} \rho(x,0)=\rho_0(x),\quad u(x,0)&=u_0(x),&\quad \theta(x,0)&=\theta_0(x),\\ u(0,t)&= u_-\,,&\quad \theta(0,t)&=\theta_->0. \end{alignedat} \] The asymptotic stability of the rarefaction wave, boundary layer solution and their combination is established for the cases \(u_-=0\) and \(u_->0\) under some smallness conditions.
