Abstract

This article is devoted to the low Mach number limit of weak solutions to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations for polytropic fluids with periodic boundary conditions and ill-prepared data. We derive formally the equation satisfied by the mean value of the velocity and the equations governing the dynamics of the nonlinear acoustic waves in dimension d = 2 or 3.
