On the existence of weak solutions to the steady compressible Navier-Stokes equations in domains with conical outlets (Q2507575)

The authors investigate the title problem for isentropic fluid with prescribed pressure drops. The existence of renormalized bounded energy weak solutions is proved, and estimates of these solutions with respect to the pressure drop are given for \(\gamma> 3\), where \(\gamma\) is the adiabatic constant. To establish these results, they develop the concept of fluxes through conical outlets in the frame of weak solutions for compressible Navier-Stokes equations, and approximate the ``invading domains'' which generate these fluxes.
