Formation of Implosion Singularities in 3D Compressible Navier-Stokes-Korteweg Equation

Previous works of Gu-Huang-Meng-Zhou~\cite{Gu-Huang-Meng-Zhou} and Huang-Lei-Zhou~\cite{Huang-Lei-Zhou} established global strong solutions away from vacuum for arbitrarily large initial data when $α$ lies in a suitable range. In contrast, we show that, for a class of small positive exponents $α$ $(α<\frac{1}{2}$), there exist smooth initial data with density uniformly separated from vacuum whose corresponding solutions develop finite-time implosion singularities. Our construction is based on smooth self-similar imploding profiles of the compressible Euler equations. After reformulating the system in self-similar coordinates, the viscous and capillary effects appear as exponentially decaying perturbations. We control the resulting non-autonomous system through weighted high-order energy estimates, a stable-unstable decomposition of the linearized operator, and a finite-dimensional selection of the unstable components. The constructed solutions remain smooth before the singular time and converge, after rescaling, to the prescribed imploding profile. In particular, at the blowup time $T$, the density becomes infinite at the origin, while the effective velocity $u + d αρ^{α-2} \nabla ρ$ is unbounded in every neighborhood of the origin. These results complement the aforementioned global existence theory and exhibit a distinct finite-time blowup mechanism for the small-$α$ regime, where the effective bulk-viscosity structure may no longer be positive.

Global-in-time strong solutions for the 2D and 3D generalized compressible Navier-Stokes-Korteweg system with arbitrarily large initial data

In 1901, Korteweg formulated a constitutive equation for the Cauchy stress tensor to provide a continuum mechanical model for capillarity within fluids. Dunn and Serrin [Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 88(2):95-133,1985] in 1985 further modified the system of compressible fluids based on the Korteweg theory of capillarity. Since then, for the 2D and 3D compressible Navier-Stokes-Korteweg system, the global existence of strong solutions with arbitrarily large initial data have remained a challenging open problem. In this paper, we provide an affirmative answer to this longstanding open problem. Specifically, under the assumption that the viscosity coefficients satisfy a BD-type algebraic relation of the form $μ(ρ)=νρ^α$ and $λ(ρ)=2ν(α-1)ρ^α$, and that the Korteweg stress tensor complies with a generalized Bohm identity of the form $κ(ρ)=\varepsilon^2α^2ρ^{2α-3}$, we establish the global existence of strong solutions for the 2D and 3D systems in torus with arbitrarily large regular initial data. The analysis is carried out in the intermediary non-dispersive regime, characterized by the condition that the capillarity coefficient constant $\varepsilon$ does not exceed the viscosity constant $ν$. This result provides the first proof of the global-in-time existence of strong solutions for the 3D general Navier-Stokes-Korteweg system with arbitrarily large initial data in the non-dispersive regime.

Global strong solutions with large initial data for the Cauchy problem of the multi-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes-Korteweg system

In this paper, we establish global strong solutions for arbitrarily large initial data to the 2D and 3D compressible Navier-Stokes-Korteweg system, also referred to as the quantum Navier-Stokes equations, originally derived by Dunn and Serrin [Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 88(2):95-133, 1985]. Specifically, we prove the existence of global strong solutions for arbitrarily large initial data in the case $N=2$ when $γ\ge 1$, and $N=3$ with $1 \le γ< 8/3$ for the associated Cauchy problem. By employing techniques from Littlewood-Paley theory, range truncation analysis, refined Nash-Moser and De Giorgi iteration methods, we derive positive upper and lower bounds for the density. As a consequence, we are able to treat the whole-space case with strictly positive far-field density. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first result that establishes global strong solutions for physically relevant compressible Navier-Stokes equations in the whole space, without imposing any symmetry or special geometric assumptions on the initial data.

Global spherically symmetric classical solutions for arbitrary large initial data of the multi-dimensional non-isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations

In 1871, Saint-Venant introduced the shallow water equations. Since then, the global classical solutions for arbitrary large initial data of the multi-dimensional viscous Saint-Venant system have remained a well-known open problem. It was only recently that [Huang-Meng-Zhang, http:arXiv:2512.15029, 2025], under the assumption of radial symmetry, first proved the existence of global classical solutions for arbitrary large initial data to the initial-boundary value problem of the two-dimensional viscous shallow water equations. At the same time, [Chen-Zhang-Zhu, http:arXiv:2512.18545, 2025] also independently proved the existence of global large solutions to the Cauchy problem of this system. Notably, in the work of Huang-Meng-Zhang, they also established the existence of global classical solutions for arbitrary large initial data to the isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations satisfying the BD entropy equality in both two and three dimensions, and the viscous shallow water equations are precisely a specific class of isentropic compressible fluids subject to the BD entropy equality. In this paper, we prove a new BD entropy inequality for a class of non-isentropic compressible fluids, which can be regarded as a generalization of the shallow water equations with transported entropy. Employing new estimates on the lower bound of density different from that of Huang-Meng-Zhang's work, we show the "viscous shallow water system with transport entropy" will admit global classical solutions for arbitrary large initial data to the spherically symmetric initial-boundary value problem in both two and three dimensions. Our results also relax the restrictions on the dimension and adiabatic index imposed in Huang-Meng-Zhang's work on the shallow water equations, extending the range from $N=2,\ γ\ge \frac{3}{2}$ to $N=2,\ γ> 1$ and $N=3,\ 1<γ<3$.

The lifespan of strong solutions to the compressible MHD equations with entropy transport in the presence of vacuum

In this paper, we investigate the finite time blow-up of strong solutions to the compressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) system (without magnetic diffusion) coupled with entropy transport, and derive an upper bound for the lifespan of such solutions. We first establish the local well-posedness of strong solutions for bounded domains and study the mechanism of finite-time singularity formation in the 2D radially symmetric case and 3D cylindrically symmetric case. We prove that if the initial density vanishes in an interior region containing the origin and the magnetic field is non-trivial within this vacuum region, the strong solution must blow up in finite time. These results generalize and improve the previous results of Huang-Xin-Yan [Math. Ann. 392 (2025) 2365-2394] for the compressible isentropic MHD equations. Significantly, we extend this blow-up result to the free boundary problem. Our analysis of the boundary's expansion allows us to explicitly estimate the maximum lifespan of the solution.
