Global existence and nonlinear diffusion of classical solutions to non-isentropic Euler equations with damping in bounded domain

Abstract

We consider classical solutions to the initial boundary value problem for the non-isentropic compressible Euler equations with damping in several space dimensions. We establish a global existence theory for classical solutions to this system when the initial data are sufficiently small. We prove that the pressure and the velocity converge exponentially toward some constants, while the entropy and the density in general do not approach constants. Finally, we prove that, as the time goes to infinity, the pressure and the velocity components of the non-isentropic Euler equations with damping converge exponentially toward those of an associated nonlinear diffusion system, and the global existence of classical solutions to these nonlinear diffusion equations is also established.
