We study the properties of vacuum states in weak solutions to the compressible Navier–Stokes system with spherical symmetry. It is shown that vacuum states cannot develop later on in time in a region far away from the center of symmetry, provided there is no vacuum state initially and two initially non-interacting vacuum regions never meet each other in the future. Furthermore, a sufficient condition on the regularity of the velocity excluding the formation of vacuum states is given.

It is shown that, for a spherically symmetric expansion of a gas into a low pressure, the shock wave with area change region discussed earlier (Freeman & Kumar 1972) can be further divided into two parts. For the Navier–Stokes equation, these are a region in which the asymptotic zero-pressure behaviour predicted by Ladyzhenskii is achieved followed further downstream by a transition to subsonic-type flow. The distance of this final region downstream is of order (pressure)−2/3 × (Reynolds number)−1/3.

A global existence result is presented for the Navier–Stokes equations filling out all of three-dimensional Euclidean space ℝ3. The initial velocity is required to have a bell-like form. The method of proof is based on symmetry transformations of the Navier–Stokes equations and a specific upper solution to the heat equation in ℝ3× [0, 1]. This upper solution has a self-similar-like form and models the diffusion process of the heat equation. By a symmetry transformation, the problem is transformed into an equivalent one having a very small initial velocity. Using the upper solution, the equivalent problem is then solved in the time interval [0, 1]. This local solution is then extended to the time interval [0, ∞) by an iterative process. At each step, the problem is extended further in time in an interval of time whose length is greater than one, thus producing the global solution. Each extension is transformed, by an appropriate change of variables, into the first local problem in the time interval [0, 1]. These transformations exploit the diffusive and self-similar-like nature of the upper solution.

In this paper, we prove the global existence and asymptotic behavior of solutions in Hi(i = 1, 2) to an initial boundary value problem of a 1D isentropic, isothermal and the compressible viscous gas with an non-autonomous external force in a bounded region.
