MASS CONCENTRATION PHENOMENON TO THE 2D CAUCHY PROBLEM OF THE COMPRESSIBLE NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS

摘要

In this paper, we consider the global strong solutions to the Cauchy problem of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations in two spatial dimensions with vacuum as far field density. It is proved that the strong solutions exist globally if the density is bounded above. Furthermore, we show that if the solutions of the two-dimensional (2D) viscous compressible flows blow up, then the mass of the compressible fluid will concentrate on some points in finite time.
