Abstract

The vanishing viscosity limit for the multi-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations to the corresponding Euler equations is a difficult and challenging problem in the mathematics. Recently, L.Li, D.Wang and Y.Wang [17] verified that the solutions for the 2D compressible isentropic Navier-Stokes equations converge to the planar rarefaction wave solution for the corresponding 2D Euler equations as viscosity vanishes with a convergence rate ϵ1/6|ln⁡ϵ|. In this paper, the vanishing viscosity limit of 2D non-isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations is studied. In contrast to the work [17], the convergence rate for the 2D full compressible Navier-Stokes equations is improved to ϵ2/7|ln⁡ϵ|2 by choosing a different scaling argument and performing more detailed energy estimates.
