This paper is dedicated to the study of viscous compressible barotropic fluids in dimension N=2. We address the question of the global existence of strong solutions with large initial data for compressible Navier-Stokes system and Korteweg system. In the first case we are interested by slightly extending a famous result due to V. A. Vaigant and A. V. Kazhikhov in \cite{VG} concerning the existence of global strong solution in dimension two for a suitable choice of viscosity coefficient ($\mu(\rho)=\mu>0$ and $\lambda(\rho)=\lambda\rho^{\beta}$ with $\beta>3$) in the torus. We are going to weaken the condition on $\beta$ by assuming only $\beta>2$ essentially by taking profit of commutator estimates introduced by Coifman et al in \cite{4M} and using a notion of \textit{effective velocity} as in \cite{VG}. In the second case we study the existence of global strong solution with large initial data in the sense of the scaling of the equations for Korteweg system with degenerate viscosity coefficient and with friction term.
