The main contribution of this paper is to develop a new argument for handling a nonlinear pressure law $P(\\rho,n)=\\rho^{\\gamma}+n^{\\alpha}$ where $\\rho,\\,n$ satisfy the mass equations. This yields the strong convergence of the densities, and provides the existence of global solutions in time, for the compressible barotropic Navier-Stokes equations, with large data. The result holds in three space dimensions on condition that the adiabatic constants $\\gamma>\\frac{9}{5}$ and $\\alpha\\geq 1$. Our result is the first global existence theorem on the viscous compressible two-phase model with pressure law in two variables, for large initial data, in the multidimensional space.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-04-24T17:48:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "global weak solution", "viscous two-phase model", "finite energy", "first global existence theorem", "barotropic navier-stokes equations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
