Extending relative entropy for Korteweg-Type models with non-monotone pressure:large friction limit and weak-strong uniqueness

Abstract

In this paper we study weak-strong uniqueness and singular relaxation limits for the Euler--Korteweg and Navier--Stokes--Korteweg systems with non monotone pressure. Both weak-strong uniqueness and the relaxation limit are investigated using relative entropy technique. We make use of the enlarged formulation of the model in terms of the drift velocity introduced in [6], generalizing in this way results proved in [17] for the Euler-Korteweg model, by allowing more general capillarity functions, and the result contained in [8] for the monotone pressure case.
