Abstract

Abstract: This paper provides a review of the recent results on the stability of vortex sheets in compressible flows. Vortex sheets are contact discontinuities of the underlying flows. The vortex sheet problem is a free boundary problem with a characteristic boundary and is challenging in analysis. The formulation of the vortex sheet problem will be introduced. The linear stability and nonlinear stability for both the two-dimensional two-phase compressible flows and the two-dimensional elastic flows are summarized. The linear stability of vortex sheets for the three-dimensional elastic flows is also presented. The difficulties of the vortex sheet problems and the ideas of proofs are discussed.

Key words: Vortex sheets, Contact discontinuities, Stability and instability, Loss of derivatives, Two-phase flows, Elastic flows
