Comparison of decay of solutions to two compressible approximations to Navier-Stokes equations

摘要

In this article, we use the decay character of initial data to compare the energy decay rates of solutions to different compressible approximations to the Navier- Stokes equations.We show that the system having a nonlinear damping term has slower decay than its counterpart with an advection-like term. Moreover, me characterize a set of initial data for which the decay of the first system is driven by the difference between the full solution and the solution to the linear part, while for the second system the linear part provides the decay rate.
