On temporal asymptotics for the pth power viscous reactive gas Original Research Article

In this paper, we investigate the long time behaviour of solutions to the system governing a heat-conductive, viscous reactive pth power gas confined between two parallel plates. For initial-boundary value problems with the end-points held at a prescribed temperature or insulated, we prove the global existence of physically relevant solutions, and establish their rate of convergence to equilibria, for generic initial data. The estimates for different boundary conditions are presented in a unified manner.
