Numerical investigations of dispersive shocks and spectral analysis for linearized quantum hydrodynamics
In this paper we perform the analysis of spectral properties of the linearized system around constant states and dispersive shock for a 1-D compressible Euler system with dissipation--dispersion terms. The dispersive term is originated by the quantum effects described through the Bohm potential, as customary in Quantum Hydrodynamic models. The analysis performed in this paper includes the computation of the linearized operator and the spectral stability through the Evans function method.
