Steady Prandtl Expansion for Subsonic Flows

Abstract: Assuming construction of Prandtl and its high order corrections for compressible fluids with small Mach number, we establish nonlinear remainder bound and justify the validity of the Prandtl layer expansion in the inviscid limit for an insulated boundary. To solve the full steady compressible Navier-Stokes system, which consists a div-curl reduction of \textit{the momentum equations} to an elliptic system for the stream function $\phi $ as well as an transport equation for the pressure $p$. The contruction of $\phi$ is based on an improved Guo-Iyer's $H^{4}$ theory for incompressible flows via development of a $H_{00}^{1/2}$ technique with a type \textit{viscous-inflow} BC, and the pressure $p$ is solved by imposing a key additional \textit{viscous-inflow} boundary condition as \begin{equation} \big{(\mu +\lambda )u_{s}\Delta_{\varepsilon} p + 2(\frac{\mu}{\lambda}+1)p_s (1-\frac{1}{2}u_s^2)p_{x}\big}\big|_{x=0}\backsim \text{given.} \end{equation} We reformulate the \textit{energy equation} in terms of the \textit{pseudo entropy} $S$ (not the temperature), which exhibits a crucial uniform bound for the final closure.
