Nonlinear stability of rarefaction waves for micropolar fluid model with large initial perturbation

In this paper, we consider the nonlinear stability of solutions to one-dimensional compressible micropolar equations. If the Riemann problem of corresponding Euler equations admits a solution which is composed of 1-rarefaction wave and 3-rarefaction wave, we proved that the solution to micropolar equations is nonlinear stable to the composite waves as time goes to infinity. Compared to the previous studies, we established the result under large initial perturbation. The key point in our analysis is how to deduce the positive lower and upper bounds of the specific volume and the absolute temperature. (c) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
