Global spherically symmetric solutions to the equations of a viscous polytropic ideal gas in an exterior domain. (English) Zbl 0858.76069
Summary: We consider the equations of a viscous polytropic ideal gas in the domain exterior to a ball in $$\mathbb{R}^n$$ $$(n=2$$, or 3) and prove the global existence of spherically symmetric smooth solutions for (large) initial data with spherical symmetry. The large-time behavior of the solutions is also discussed. To prove the existence, we first study an approximate problem in a bounded annular domain and then obtain a priori estimates independent of the boundedness of the annular domain. Letting the diameter of the annular domain tend to infinity, we get a global spherically symmetric solution as the limit.
