1 Introduction
This paper concerns the initial value problem for the compressible fluid models of Korteweg type
with the initial condition
The variables are the density \(\rho \) and the momentum m. Furthermore, \(p = p(\rho )\) is the pressure function satisfying \(P'(\rho ) > 0\) for \(\rho > 0\). The viscosity coefficients satisfy \(\mu> 0, 2\mu +n\lambda > 0\), \(\alpha >0\).
This compressible fluid model of Korteweg type describes the dynamics of a liquid–vapor mixture in the setting of the diffuse interface approach: between the two phases lies a thin region of continuous transition and the phase changes are described through the variations of the density, for example a Van der Waals pressure. The compressible fluid model of Korteweg type was derived rigorously by Dunn and Serrin [4] (see also [2, 5]).
Let \(u=\frac{m}{\rho }\), then (1.1) may be rewritten as
There are numerous works dedicated to the study of the compressible fluid models of Korteweg type, and lots of important results were established. For well-posedness results, we refer to [1, 3, 6, 7, 9, 15]. Global existence of classical solutions in Sobolev space was established by [9]. Danchin and Desjardins [3] proved that global well-posedness in the critical Besov spaces for the initial data is close enough to stable equilibria. Moreover, local existence of solutions for initial densities bounded away from zero was also established. Bresch et al. [1] and Haspot [6] proved the global existence of weak solutions for the compressible Navier–Stokes–Korteweg system, respectively. Global strong solutions to the compressible Navier–Stokes–Korteweg system in two space dimensions have been proved in [7].
For decay estimate results of global solutions, we may refer to [12, 20,21,22, 27, 28]. Wang and Tan [27] established the \( L^2\) and \(L^p(p\ge 2)\) decay rates for the classical solutions by the detailed study of the linear decay estimates and nonlinear energy estimates. For the global existence and decay estimate of strong solutions, please refer to [20]. Tan and Zhang [22] obtained the faster decay estimate by assuming suitable condition on the initial value. For more decay estimates results, we may refer to [12, 21, 28]. The optimal decay estimates of global mild solutions in the critical nonhomogeneous Besov spaces to the problem (1.1), (1.2) were established in [25], provided that the initial perturbations of density and velocity are small in the space \(B^{\frac{n}{2}}_{2, 1}\bigcap \dot{B}^{0}_{1, \infty }\) and \(B^{\frac{n}{2}-1}_{2, 1}\bigcap \dot{B}^{0}_{1, \infty }\).
Our main purpose of this paper is to investigate asymptotic profile of global solutions obtained by Hattori and Li [9] to the problem (1.1), (1.2) and the corresponding convergence rate in the sprit of [14]. The nonlinear term plays a very important role in asymptotic profile of global solutions obtained in this paper. For the details, we refer to the following Theorem 1.3. The proof is based mainly on the decay estimate of solutions operator in the low-frequency region, the high-frequency region, the structure of the nonlinear term and global solutions obtained in [9] and decay estimate of global solutions established by Wang and Tan [27].
To state our asymptotic profile and the corresponding convergence rate results, we firstly state global solution and decay estimate results established by Hattori and Li [9] and Wang and Tan [27], respectively, as follows:
Theorem 1.1
( [9]) Let \(n\ge 3\) and \(s=[\frac{n}{2}]+1\) be an integer. Assume that \(\rho _0-1\in H^{s+1}\), \(m_0 \in H^s\). Put
Then there is a positive constant \(\delta _0\) such that if \(E_0\le \delta _0\), then the problem (1.3), (1.2) has a unique global solution \((\rho , u)\) satisfying
Theorem 1.2
( [27]) Let \(n\ge 3\) and \(s=[\frac{n}{2}]+2\) be an integer. Assume that \(\rho _0-1\in H^{s+1}\), \(m_0 \in H^s\) and \(L^1\) norm of \((\rho _0-1, m)\) is finite. Let \((\rho , u)\) be the global solution to the problem (1.3), (1.2) obtained in Theorem 1.1. Then
and
Let \(U=(\rho -1, m)^\tau =(\sigma , m)^\tau \). We state our asymptotic profile of global solutions obtained by Hattori and Li [9] and the corresponding convergence rate as follows:
Theorem 1.3
Let \(n\ge 3\), \(s=[n/2]+2\) and \(\kappa = \frac{1}{2}\) when \(n=3\) and \(\kappa = 1\) when \(n\ge 4\). Assume that \(\rho _0-1\in H^{s+1}\cap L^1_\kappa \bigcap L^2_\kappa \), \(m_0\in H^{s}\cap L^1_\kappa \bigcap L^2_\kappa \) and \( \partial _x \rho _0 \in L^2_\kappa \). Put
Let \((\rho , m)\) be the global solution to the problem (1.1), (1.2) obtained in Theorem 1.1. If \(E_1\) is suitable small, then it holds that
where
and \(\overline{F}_{i}(U)\) is the i-th column vector of the matrix \(\overline{F}_{ij}(U)\) defined by
and \(G_l(t) \) is defined by (2.8).
Remark 1.4
The result in Theorem 1.3 implies that the solutions to the problem (1.1), (1.2) are asymptotic to a new asymptotic profile, which is given by the nonlinear term in \(\overline{F}_{ij}(U)\). In fact, the corresponding decay rate of the other nonlinear term in \(F_{ij}\) (see (2.2)) is much faster.
The paper is organized as follows. We make the detail analysis for solution operators to (1.1), (1.2) in Sect. 2. In Sect. 3, weighted decay estimate of global solutions to the problem (1.3), (1.2) is established. Section 4 is devoted to derive the asymptotic profile of global solutions to the problem (1.1), (1.2) and the corresponding convergence rate.
Notations Let \({\mathcal {F}}[f]\) denote the Fourier transform of f defined by
We denote its inverse transform by \({\mathcal {F}}^{-1}\). \(L^p=L^p({\mathbb {R}}^n)(1\le p\le \infty )\) denotes the usual Lebesgue space with the norm \(\Vert \cdot \Vert _{L^p}\). \(L^p_\kappa =L^p_\kappa ({\mathbb {R}}^n)(1\le p< \infty )\) denotes the weighted Lebesgue space with the norm
The usual Sobolev space of order s is defined by \(H^{s}=(I-\partial ^2_x)^{-\frac{s}{2}}L^2\) with the norm \(\Vert f\Vert _{H^{s}}=\Vert (I-\partial ^2_x)^{\frac{s}{2}}f\Vert _{L^2}\).
For a nonnegative integer k, \(\partial _x^k\) denotes the totality of all the k-th order derivatives with respect to \(x\in {\mathbb {R}}^n\). \(\partial _t^l\) denotes the totality of all the l-th order derivatives with respect to \(t \in {\mathbb {R}}_{+}\). Also, for an interval I and a Banach space X, \(C^k(I;X)\) denotes the space of k-times continuously differential functions on I with values in X.
2 Decay properties of solution operators
This section is devoted to derive the solution operators to the compressible fluid models of Korteweg type (1.1), (1.2). To do so, let \(\sigma =\rho -1\) and \(P'(1) =1\). (1.1) may be rewritten as
where F is the \(n \times n\) matrix \(F_{ij}\) defined by
with the i-th component of \(\nabla \cdot F\) given by \({\displaystyle \sum ^n_{j=1}\partial _{x_j}F_{ij}}\).
Let \(U=(\sigma , m)\), then (1.1) may be written as
where
and \({\mathfrak {F}}(U)=(0, F(U))^{\tau }\).
Let \(G(t)*\) be the solution operators to the compressible fluid models of Korteweg type (1.1). Then Fourier transform of G(t, x) is given by
with
and
Due to Duhamel principle, the solution to the problem (1.1), (1.2) may expressed as
Let \({\mathcal {F}} \widehat{\phi } \in C^\infty ({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) such that
where \(0< \epsilon < 1\) is a constant. Set
The above Fourier splitting frequency technique was early introduced in [13] and so on. Then (2.7) implies
where
and
\(\widehat{{\mathcal {G}}}_l(t, \xi )\) and \(\widehat{{\mathcal {H}}}_l(t, \xi )\) may be written
and
respectively, where
Due to Taylor formula, it is not difficult to find that
and
We state the pointwise estimates for the solution operators \( \hat{{\mathcal {G}}}\) and \(\hat{{\mathcal {H}}}\) to the generalized Boussinesq equation (see [23] and [26]) as follows, which comes from [25].
Lemma 2.1
Let \(\widehat{{\mathcal {G}}}\) and \(\widehat{{\mathcal {H}}}\) be given by (2.5). Then we have the pointwise estimates
for \(\xi \in {\mathbb {R}}^n\) and \(t\ge 0\).
From the above results in Lemma 2.1, it is not difficult to find that
By Lemma 2.1 and the Plancherel theorem, the following decay estimates of solution operators can be established.
Lemma 2.2
Let \(1\le q\le 2\), and let k, j and l be nonnegative integers. Then we have
and
Lemma 2.3
Let k, j be nonnegative integers. Then
- (i)
If \(2\le p\le \infty \), it holds that
$$\begin{aligned} \Vert \partial ^j_t\partial ^k_x G_{l}(t)\Vert _{L^p}\le C(1+t)^{-\frac{n}{2}(1-\frac{1}{p})-\frac{k+j}{2}}. \end{aligned}$$(2.20) - (ii)
If \(1\le p< 2\), it holds that
$$\begin{aligned} \Vert \partial ^j_t\partial ^k_x G_{l}(t)\Vert _{L^p}\le C\left\{ \begin{array}{l} \displaystyle (1+t)^{ -\frac{n}{2}(1-\frac{1}{p})-\frac{n-1}{4}(1-\frac{2}{p})-\frac{k+j}{2}}, \quad n\ge 3 \text { and }n \text { is odd}\\ \displaystyle (1+t)^{ -\frac{n}{2}(1-\frac{1}{p})-\frac{n}{4}(1-\frac{2}{p})-\frac{k+j}{2}}, \quad \; \; n\ge 2 \text { and }n \text { is even} \\ \end{array}\right. \end{aligned}$$(2.21)
Proof
We may refer to [10, 11, 16,17,18] and [24] for the proof. The details are omitted. \(\square \)
From Lemma 2.2 and (2.8), (2.17), we get immediately the decay properties of \(G_h(t, x)\).
Lemma 2.4
Let k be a nonnegative integer. Then
To establish the weighted decay estimate of global solutions, we need the following decay properties of solution operators in low-frequency parts.
Lemma 2.5
Let \(\kappa =0, \frac{1}{2}, 1\) and let k be nonnegative integer. Then we have
Proof
When \(\kappa =0\), by the Plancherel theorem, it is not difficult to see that (2.23) holds. Owing to the properties of Fourier transform and (2.14), (2.15), (2.5), we have
From Hölder inequality and (2.24), we have
When \(\kappa =\frac{1}{2}, 1\), it follows from Young inequality and (2.24), (2.25) that
The lemma is proved. \(\square \)
Lemma 2.6
Assume that \( U_0 \in L^1_2({\mathbb {R}}^n)\). Then we have
Proof
The definition of convolution, Taylor formula, Young inequality and (2.20) entails that
where \(\theta \in (0, 1)\). We complete the proof of Lemma 2.6. \(\square \)
To derive the weighted decay estimate of solution operators in high-frequency part, we need the following lemma, which comes from [14].
Lemma 2.7
Let \(\partial ^k_\xi \widehat{ f}\in L^\infty \) for \(k=0, 1\), and let \((1+|x|^{\frac{1}{2}})g \in L^2\). Then we have
Lemma 2.8
Let \(\kappa =0, \frac{1}{2}, 1\) and let k be nonnegative integer. Then we have
and
Proof
When \(\kappa =0, 1\), (2.28) immediately follows from the Plancherel theorem. When \(\kappa =\frac{1}{2}\), making use of (2.27) and (2.5), (2.17), we deduce that
Similarly, we may prove (2.29). Then the proof of Lemma 2.8 is completed. \(\square \)
3 Weighted decay estimate of global solutions
The purpose of this section is to establish weighted decay estimate of global solutions obtained in [9]. To this end, let \(\sigma =\rho -1\), \(u=\frac{m}{\rho }\), \(P'(1) =1\) and \(V=(\sigma , u)^\tau \),\(V_0=(\sigma _0, u_0)^\tau =(\sigma _0, \frac{m_0}{\sigma _0+1})^\tau \) . Then (1.3) may be rewritten as
The initial value becomes
where
and
The problem (3.1), (3.2) may be rewritten as
where \(\widetilde{F}(V)=(\widetilde{F}_1(V), \widetilde{F}_2(V))^\tau \).
Noting that (2.8), then the solution to the problem (3.5) is given by
We state the weighted decay estimate of global solutions obtained in [9] as follows.
Theorem 3.1
Let \(n\ge 3\) and \(\kappa = \frac{1}{2}\) when \(n=3\) and \(\kappa = 1\) when \(n\ge 4\). Assume that the conditions of Theorem 1.2 hold. Moreover, assume that \( V_0 \in L^1_\kappa \bigcap L^2_\kappa \) and \(\partial _x\sigma _0 \in L^2_\kappa \). The solutions V to the problem (3.1), (3.2) satisfy
and
Proof
Let
Thanks to (3.6) and Minkowski inequality, we obtain
By virtue of (2.23), we can get
(2.28) entails that
It follows from (2.23) that
Owing to (2.28), we arrive at
Making use of (3.6) and Minkowski inequality, we obtain
Thanks to (2.23), we arrive at
Applying (2.28), this gives
By using (2.23), we get
(2.29) entails that
By a similar calculation to (3.13), it follows from (2.23) that
Due to (2.28), it holds that
We estimate \(J_7\) as follows by (2.23)
Making use of (2.29), we see that
Inserting (3.11)–(3.14) into (3.10) and (3.16)–(3.23) into (3.15) yields
which implies
provided that \(E_1\) is suitably small. The proof of Theorem 3.1 is completed. \(\square \)
4 Asymptotic profile of global solutions
In this section, our main goal is to establish asymptotic profile of global solutions and the corresponding convergence rate. To this end, we state the \(L^2\) decay rate of global solutions obtained in Theorem 1.1 in high-frequency part as follows.
Lemma 4.1
Under the conditions of Theorem 1.3, \(U_h(t, x)\) satisfies
Proof
(4.1) immediately follows from Theorem 1.1, 1.2 and the decay property of \(G_h(x,t)\). Here we omit the details. \(\square \)
In what follows, we give the proof of Theorem 1.3.
Proof
From (2.7), (2.9) and (2.10), we arrive at
Then (4.2) and Minkowski inequality give
By virtue of (4.1), it holds that
Thanks to (2.22), we have
\(K_3\) may be rewritten as
In what follows, we estimate \(K_{31}\) for \(n=3\) and \(n\ge 4\), respectively. When \(n=3 \), mean value theorem, Young inequality, Hölder inequality and (2.20), (3.7), (3.8) entail that
where \(\theta _1 \in (0, 1).\)
When \(n\ge 4 \), using mean value theorem, Young inequality, Hölder inequality and (2.20), (1.5), (1.6), (3.7), (3.8), the similar estimate of (4.6) leads to
where \(\theta _2 \in (0, 1).\)
Making use of mean value theorem, Young inequality, Hölder inequality and (2.20), (1.5), (1.6), we have
where \(\theta _3 \in (0, 1).\)
It follows from (2.23) with \(\kappa =0\) and (1.5) that
Young inequality, (2.21), (1.5), (1.6) entail that
Owing to (2.20) and (1.5), (1.6), we deduce, for \(n\ge 3\)
Substituting (4.4)-(4.11) into (4.3) yields (1.8). This concludes Theorem 1.3.\(\square \)
Remark 4.2
Assume that the conditions of Theorem 1.3 hold. Furthermore, assume that \(U_0 \in L^1_2\). Then from (2.22) and (2.26), we have
Therefore, (1.8) and (4.12) and Minkowski inequality imply that
