Abstract
In this paper, we study vanishing capillary limit for isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes-Korteweg system in a bounded interval. The main challenges focus on the capillary term and the boundary effect. A new uniform dissipative estimate in terms of the third-order derivative of density and some correctors are derived to handle such difficulties. It leads to the optimal convergence rate of the solutions in norm globally in time with arbitrarily large initial data. This work provides a rigorous derivation of the isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes system in a bounded interval from the isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes-Korteweg system via vanishing capillary limit.
