The isothermal limit for the compressible Euler equations with damping

We consider the isothermal Euler system with damping. We rigorously show the convergence of Barenblatt solutions towards a limit Gaussian profile in the isothermal limit $\gamma$ $\rightarrow$ 1, and we explicitly compute the propagation and the behavior of Gaussian initial data. We then show the weak L 1 convergence of the density as well as the asymptotic behavior of its first and second moments. Contents 1. Introduction 1 2. Assumptions and main results 3 3.
