Stability of the composite wave for compressible Navier–Stokes/Allen–Cahn system

This paper is devoted to the study of the nonlinear stability of the composite wave consisting of two rarefaction waves and a viscous contact wave for the Cauchy problem to a one-dimensional compressible non-isentropic Navier–Stokes/Allen–Cahn system which is a combination of the classical Navier–Stokes system with an Allen–Cahn phase field description. We first construct the composite wave through Euler equations under the assumption of Formula: see text for the large time behavior, and then prove that the composite wave is time asymptotically stable under small perturbations for the corresponding Cauchy problem of the non-isentropic Navier–Stokes/Allen–Cahn system. The proof is mainly based on a basic energy method.
