Compressible flows with a density-dependent viscosity coefficient

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We prove the global existence of weak solutions for the 2-D compressible Navier-Stokes equations with a density-dependent viscosity coefficient (lambda=lambda(ho)). Initial data and solutions are small in energy-norm with nonnegative densities having arbitrarily large sup-norm. Then, we show that if there is a vacuum domain at the initial time, then the vacuum domain will retain for all time, and vanishes as time goes to infinity. At last, we show that the condition of mu=constant will induce a singularity of the system at vacuum. Thus, the viscosity coefficient mu plays a key role in the Navier-Stokes equations.
