Abstract

In this work we consider the linear stability of the sub-to-super inviscid transonic stationary wave of a one-dimensional model of isentropic compressible flows through a nozzle of varying area. This sub-to-super inviscid transonic stationary wave is newly founded by the authors using the geometric singular perturbation theory. The main result of this work is to show that the sub-to-super inviscid transonic stationary wave is physically relevant in the sense that it is L linearly stable on any bounded space interval as long as its velocity is greater than 1/2 of the sound speed.
