Abstract

In this paper, we consider the three-dimensional inhomogeneous Navier-Stokes equations with density-dependent viscosity in presence of vacuum over bounded domains. Global-in-time unique strong solution is proved to exist when u0L2\|\nabla u_0\|_{L^2} is suitably small with arbitrary large initial density. This generalizes all the previous results even for the constant viscosity.
