| The free boundary for one-dimensional compressible isentropic Navier-Stokes equations is studied in this paper, namely ξ∈G [0, a(τ)],τ> 0, where ρ= ρ(ξ,τ), u=u(ξ,τ) and P(ρ) denote the density, the velocity and the pressure of the fluid, respectively, the viscosity coefficient μ=μ(ρ)=θρθ+1, with θ a positive constant.Here the initial values are given by the free boundary condition is imposed byIt is proved that the global existence of smooth solutions is constructed when 0< θ<γ and the asymptotic behavior, the decay rate of solutions is also obtained. The key to the proof is that the positive upper and lower bound of the density p is obtained by using some appropriate energy functionals. Moreover, the regularity of solutions is established by using a series of priori estimates. |
