On the Spectral Properties for the Linearized Problem around Space-Time-Periodic States of the Compressible Navier–Stokes Equations

Abstract

This paper studies the linearized problem for the compressible Navier-Stokes equation around space-time periodic state in an infinite layer of Rn (n=2,3), and the spectral properties of the linearized evolution operator is investigated. It is shown that if the Reynolds and Mach numbers are sufficiently small, then the asymptotic expansions of the Floquet exponents near the imaginary axis for the Bloch transformed linearized problem are obtained for small Bloch parameters, which would give the asymptotic leading part of the linearized solution operator as t→∞.
