Abstract: Given a bounded domain DsubsetmathbbRN and m>1, we study the long-time behaviour of solutions to the Porous Medium equation (PME) posed in a tube [ partial_tu = Delta u^m quad ext{ in } D imes mathbb{R}, quad t > 0, ] with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions on the boundary partialDimesmathbbR and suitable initial datum at t=0. In two previous works, V'azquez and Gilding & Goncerzewicz proved that a wide class of solutions exhibit a traveling wave behaviour, when computed at a logarithmic time-scale and suitably renormalized. In this paper, we show that, for large times, solutions converge in relative error to the Friendly Giant, i.e., the unique nonnegative solution to the PME posed in the section D of the tube (with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions) having a special self-similar form. In addition, sharp rates of convergence and uniform bounds for the location of the free boundary of solutions are given.
