Global existence in critical spaces for non Newtonian compressible viscoelastic flows
Abstract
We are interested in the multi-dimentional compressible viscoelastic flows of Oldroyd type, which is one of non-Newtonian fluids exhibiting the elastic behavior. In order to capture the damping effect of the additional deformation tensor, to the best of our knowledge, the "div-curl" structural condition plays a key role in previous efforts. Our aim of this paper is to remove the structural condition and prove a global existence of strong solutions to compressible viscoelastic flows in critical spaces. The new ingredient lies in the introduction of effective flux (θ,G), which enables us to capture the dissipation arising from combination of density and deformation tensor. In absence of compatible conditions, the partial dissipation is found in non-Newtonian compressible fluids, which is weaker than that of usual Navier-Stokes equations.
