Abstract

In this paper, we justify the low Mach number limit for the three-dimensional full compressible Navier–Stokes–Korteweg equations rigorously within the framework of smooth solution. Under the assumptions of small density and temperature perturbation, we show that for sufficiently small Mach number, the initial-value problem of the three-dimensional full compressible Navier–Stokes–Korteweg equations admits a unique smooth solution on the time interval where the smooth solution of the corresponding incompressible Navier–Stokes equations exists. Moreover, we obtain the convergence of smooth solutions for the full compressible Navier–Stokes–Korteweg equations toward those for the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations with a convergence rate.
