We will restrict us to the case of the so called compressible Navier-Stokes system with quantum pressure which corresponds to consider the capillary coefficient $\\kappa(\\rho)=\\frac{\\kappa_1}{\\rho}$ with $\\kappa_1>0$. In a first part we prove the existence of strong solution in finite time for large initial data with a precise bound by below on the life span $T^*$. This one depends on the norm of the initial data $(\\rho_0,v_0)$. The second part consists in proving the existence of global strong solution with particular choice on the capillary coefficient ( where $\\kappa_1=\\mu^2$) and on the viscosity tensor which corresponds to the viscous shallow water case $-2\\mu{\\rm div}(\\rho Du)$. To do this we derivate different energy estimate on the density and the effective velocity $v$ which ensures that the strong solution can be extended beyond $T^*$. The main difficulty consists in controlling the vacuum or in other words to estimate the $L^\\infty$ norm of $\\frac{1}{\\rho}$. The proof relies mostly on a method introduced by De Giorgi \\cite{DG} (see also Ladyzhenskaya et al in \\cite{La} for the parabolic case) to obtain regularity results for elliptic equations with discontinuous diffusion coefficients and a suitable bootstrap argument.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-06-13T14:15:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "global strong solution", "quantum pressure", "korteweg system", "capillary coefficient", "main difficulty consists" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
