Abstract: We consider the description of propagating phase boundaries in a van der Waals fluid by means of viscocapillary profiles, which are viewed as heteroclinic orbits connecting nonhyperbolic fixed points of a five dimensional dynamical system. A bifurcation analysis enables us to show that, for small viscosities, some distinct propagating phase boundaries share the same metastable state on one side of the front.
