Wave propagation for the three-dimensional isentropic compressible
Navier-Stokes/Allen-Cahn system
Abstract
In this paper, we study the Cauchy problem for the three-dimensional
isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes/Allen-Cahn system, which describes
the phase transitions in two-component patterns interacting with a
compressible fluid. We establish the existence and space-time pointwise
behaviors of global solutions to this non-conserved system. In order to
control the source term consisting of the phase variable, we make use of
the Green’s function and space-time weighted estimates to prove that the
phase variable only contains the diffusion wave whose amplitude decays
exponentially in time, so as to show that the density and momentum of
the fluid obey the generalized Huygens’ principle.
