A Galilei Invariant Version of Yong's Model

Abstract

In a paper in Arch. Rational Mech. 214 (2014), Wen-An Yong has described the dynamics of a compressible fluid with Maxwell delayed viscosity as a symmetric hyperbolic system of balance laws, and shown that the solutions of this system tend to solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations. The purpose of the present note is to present a Galilei invariant version of Yong's model and communicate observations on its shock waves.
