Abstract

Except a closed set \({\mathfrak {S}}^c\) with zero parabolic Hausdorff measure, the weak limit \((\rho ,\mathbf{u})\) of approximate solutions is a renormalized weak solution with finite energy of three dimensional compressible Navier–Stokes equations for \(\gamma \in (6/5, 3/2]\) as constructed by Lions and Feireisl et al. in the Leray sense. The key novelty of the paper is the improved integrability of pressure by localization, which is based on the faster decay of the gradient of velocity and the higher integrability of the Riesz potentials of both density and momentum.

Notes

  1. In dimensions three, the standard values of the adiabatic exponent \(\gamma \) are 5/3 for the monoatomic gas, between 11/9 and 7/5 for the diatomic gas, and between 1 and 4/3 for the polyatomic gas.
