Wall-bounded turbulent shear flows are known to exhibit universal small-scale dynamics that are modulated by large-scale flow structures. Strong pressure gradients complicate this characterization, however; they can cause significant…

We study the large time behaviour of a spherically symmetric motion of out-flowing isentropic and compressible viscous gas. The fluid occupies an unbounded exterior domain in $\mathbb{R}^n \; (n \ge 2)$, and it flows out from an inner…
