Dimension reduction for the compressible Navier-Stokes system with density dependent viscosity

Abstract

We consider a compressible Navier-Stokes system for a barotropic fluid with density dependent viscosity in a three-dimensional time-space domain $(0,T)\times \Omega_\varepsilon$ where $\Omega_\varepsilon = (0,\varepsilon)^2\times (0,1)$. We show that the weak solutions of the 3D system converges to the strong solution of the respective 1D system as $\varepsilon\rightarrow0.$
