Abstract

For the three-dimensional gas flow in vibrational nonequilibrium, the linearized stability of the planar rarefaction waves is obtained in this paper in terms of the rarefaction wave strength is small enough. The main feature of the problem is that the $L^2$-norm of the perturbations may grow in time.

Keywords
