Connections Between Stability, Convexity of Internal Energy, and the Second Law for Compressible Newtonian Fluids

Abstract: In this note we provide proofs of the following statements for a compressible Newtonian fluid: (i) internal energy being a convex function of entropy and specific volume is equivalent to nonnegativity of both specific heat at constant volume and isothermal bulk modulus; (ii) convexity of internal energy together with the second law of thermodynamics imply linear stability of the rest state; and (iii) linear stability of the rest state together with the second law imply convexity of internal energy.

“…The subsequent analysis leans essentially on thermodynamic stability of the fluid system expressed through The above relations reflect stability of the equilibrium solutions to the Navier-Stokes-Fourier system (see Bechtel, Rooney, and Forest [1]) and play a crucial role in the study of the long-time behavior of solutions, see [19,Chapters 5,6]. Last but not least, as we will see below, the relations (1.18), (1.19) represent the key ingredient in the proof of weak-strong uniqueness.…”
