Large Time Behavior and Sharp Interface Limit of Compressible Navier-Stokes/Allen-Cahn System for Interacting Shock Waves

Abstract

In this paper, we study the large time behavior and sharp interface limit of the Cauchy problem for compressible Navier-Stokes/Allen-Cahn system with interaction shock waves in the same family. This system is an important mathematical model for describing the motion of immiscible two-phase flow. The results show that, if the initial density and velocity are near the superposition of two shock waves in the same family, then there exists a unique global solution to the compressible Navier-Stokes/Allen-Cahn system, and this solution asymptotically converges to the superposition of the viscous shock wave and rarefaction wave which moving in opposite directions. Moreover, this global-in-time solution converges to the entropy solution of $p$-system in $L^\infty$-norm as the thickness of the diffusion interface tends to zero.
