Abstract

This work is devoted to prove the existence of global strong solution in dimension N2N\geq 2 for a isothermal model of capillary fluids derived by J.E Dunn and J.Serrin (1985) (see \cite{fDS}), which can be used as a phase transition model. 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 κ(ρ)=κ1ρ\kappa(\rho)=\frac{\kappa_1}{\rho} with κ1>0\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 TT^*. This one depends on the norm of the initial data (ρ0,v0)(\rho_0,v_0). The second part consists in proving the existence of global strong solution with particular choice on the capillary coefficient ( where κ1=μ2\kappa_1=\mu^2) and on the viscosity tensor which corresponds to the viscous shallow water case 2μdiv(ρDu)-2\mu{\rm div}(\rho Du). To do this we derivate different energy estimate on the density and the effective velocity vv which ensures that the strong solution can be extended beyond TT^*. The main difficulty consists in controlling the vacuum or in other words to estimate the LL^\infty norm of 1ρ\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.
