In chapter 1, we focus on the noncharacteristic boundary layers for the parabolic regularization of quasi-linear hyperbolic problems, where the viscosity matrix is positive definite, with the zero Dirichlet boundary conditions. We adapt the method developed by Grenier and Gues [?] where the center-stable manifold theorem is used to prove the existence and exponential decay property of the leading boundary layer profile under suitable conditions on the boundary x = 0. With this boundary condition we prove the well-posedness of the initial boundary value problem of the inviscid flow. Then we prove the stability of the boundary layer by an energy estimate, where exponential decay property of the boundary layer profile plays an important role. Finally, we can specify the limit of the viscous solutions to the corresponding inviscid solution. / In chapter 2, we consider the noncharacteristic one-dimensional compressible full Navier-Stokes equations for the ideal gas with outflow boundary condition on the velocity and suitable initial conditions, which make all the three characteristics to the corresponding Euler equations negative up to some local time, especially on the boundary. By the aymptotic analysis, we derive an algebraic-differential equation for the leading boundary layer functions. The center-stable manifold theorem helps to prove the existence and exponential decay property of the leading boundary layer function. The outflow boundary condition makes it possible to estimate the normal derivatives. Combining this with the tangential derivative estimate, we can recover the H1 estimate of the error term. Thus we establish the stability of the boundary layers which satisfy an algebraic-differential equation in this case. With this stability result, we obtain the relation between the solutions to Navier-Stokes and Euler equations. / In chapter 3, we concentrate on the existence and nonlinear stability of the totally characteristic boundary layer for the quasi-linear equations with positive definite viscosity matrix under the assumption that the boundary matrix vanishes identically on the boundary x = 0. We carry out a weighted estimate to the boundary layer equations---Prandtl type equations to get the regularity and the far field behavior of the solutions. This allows us to perform a weighted energy estimate for the error equation to prove the stability of the boundary layers. The stability result finally implies the asymptotic limit of the viscous solutions. / In this thesis we study three kinds of asymptotic limiting behavior of the solutions to the initial boundary value problem of one-dimensional quasilinear equations with viscosity by carrying out the boundary layer analysis. / Wang, Jing. / Adviser: Zhouping Xin. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 71-01, Section: B, page: 0407. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2008. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 107-112). / Electronic reproduction.
