Compressible Navier-Stokes system: large solutions and incompressible limit (Q2411347)

The article begins with the two-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations. The global existence of strong solutions is studied for large initial velocity, almost constant density and large volume viscosity. It is proved that, for fixed shear viscosity and under the previous assumptions, the solution of the considered problem is global. For higher dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations, similar results can be obtained only under additional assumptions concerning the strong solutions for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations.
