Abstract

In this paper we investigate the question of the existence of global weak solution for the compressible Navier Stokes equations provided that the initial momentum $\rho_0 u_0$ belongs to $\mbox{bmo}^{-1}(\mathbb{R}^N)$ with $N= 2,3$ and is radially symmetric. More precisely we deal with the so called viscous shallow water system when the viscosity coefficients verify $\mu(\rho)=\mu\rho$, $\lambda(\rho)=0$ with $\mu>0$. We prove then a equivalent of the so called Koch-Tataru theorem for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations. In addition we assume that the initial density $\rho_0$ is only bounded in $L^\infty(\mathbb{R}^N)$, it allows us in particular to consider initial density admitting shocks. Furthermore we show that if the coupling between the density and the velocity is sufficiently strong, then the initial density which admits initially shocks is instantaneously regularizing inasmuch as the density becomes Lipschitz. This coupling is expressed via the regularity of the so called effective velocity $v=u+2\mu\nabla\ln\rho$. In our case $v_0$ belongs to $L^2(\mathbb{R}^N)\cap L^\infty(\mathbb{R}^N)$, it is important to point out that this choice on the initial data implies that we work in a setting of infinite energy on the initial data $(\rho_0,u_0)$, it extends in particular the results of \cite{V}. In a similar way, we consider also the case of the dimension $N=1$ where the momentum $\rho_0 u_0$ belongs to $bmo^{-1}(\mathbb{R})$ without any geometric restriction.\\ To finish we prove the global existence of strong solution for large initial data provided that the initial data are radially symmetric and sufficiently regular in dimension $N=2,3$ for $\gamma$ law pressure.
