Helically symmetric solutions to the 3D Navier-Stokes equations for compressible isentropic fluids (Q818478): Difference between revisions

The existence of global weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations is proved for compressible isentropic fluids for any \(\gamma > 1\) when the Cauchy data are helically symmetric. The constant \(\gamma\) is the specific heat ratio. Moreover, a new integrability estimate of the density in any neighborhood of the symmetry axis (the singularity axis) is obtained.
