Convergence to nonlinear diffusion waves for solutions of Euler equations with time-depending damping

In this paper, we are concerned with the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the system of Euler equations with time-depending damping, in particular, include the constant coefficient damping. We rigorously prove that the solutions time-asymptotically converge to the diffusion wave whose profile is self-similar solution to the corresponding parabolic equation, which justifies Darcy's law. Compared with previous results about Euler equations with constant coefficient damping obtained by Hsiao and Liu (1992) [2], and Nishihara (1996) [9], we obtain a general result when the initial perturbation belongs to the same space, i.e. $H^3(\mathbb{R})\times H^2(\mathbb{R})$. Our proof is based on the classical energy method.
