Description
Summary:In this article, we study the zero-viscosity-capillarity limit problem for the one-dimensional full compressible Navier-Stokes-Korteweg equations. This equation models compressible viscous fluids with internal capillarity and heat conductivity. We prove that if the solution of the inviscid Euler equations is piecewise constants with a contact discontinuity, then there exist smooth solutions to the one-dimensional full compressible Navier-Stokes-Korteweg system which converge to the inviscid solution away from the contact discontinuity. It converges a rate of $\epsilon^{1/4}$ as the the viscosity $\mu=\epsilon$, heat-conductivity coefficient $\alpha=\nu\epsilon$ and the capillarity $\kappa=\lambda\epsilon^2$ and $\epsilon$ tends to zero. The proof is completed using the energy method and the scaling technique.
