Abstract

We prove the existence of weak solutions to steady, compressible non-Newtonian Navier-Stokes system on a bounded, two- or three-dimensional domain. Assuming the viscous stress tensor is monotone satisfying a power-law growth with power rr and the pressure is given by ϱγ\varrho^\gamma, we construct a solution provided that r>3dd+2r>\frac{3d}{d+2} and γ\gamma is sufficiently large, depending on the values of rr. Additionally, we also show the existence for time-discretized model for Herschel-Bulkley fluids, where the viscosity has a singular part.
