It is conjectured that Darcy’s law governs the motion of compressible porous media flow in large time. This has been justified for one-dimensional isentropic flows. In this work, we show the conjecture is true for one-dimensional adiabatic flows with generic small smooth initial data. © 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

A stability result for the compressible Navier-Stokes system with transport equation for entropy s is shown. The proof comes as an outcome of the isentropic case and additional properties of the effective viscous flux. We deal with the pressure term in the form ρ γ e s with adiabatic index γ > 3/2; therefore the crucial renormalization method is restricted.

In this paper we study the self-propelled motion of a single deformable body in a viscous compressible fluid which occupies whole 3-dimensional Euclidean space. The considered governing system for the fluid is the isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations. The main result of this paper is the existence of a weak solution on a time interval (0,+∞).
