Global Existence of Weak Solutions to the Compressible Navier-Stokes Equations with Vacuum
Abstract
We establish global weak solvability for the degenerate compressible Navier-Stokes system with vanishing density via a renormalized defect measure approach. The analysis relies on compactness of the effective viscous flux and commutator estimates in Orlicz-Sobolev spaces.
