We consider the exterior problem and the initial boundary value problem for the spherically symmetric isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations with density-dependent viscosity coefficient in this paper. For regular initial density, we show that there exists a unique global strong solution to the exterior problem or the initial boundary value problem, respectively. In particular, the strong solution tends to the equilibrium state as t → ∞. 1. Introduction The isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations with density-dependent viscosity coefficients read as follows: ρt div ρU 0, ρU t div ρU ⊗ U ∇P ρ − div μ ρ DU − ∇ λ ρ div U 0, 1.1 where t ∈ 0, ∞ is the time and x ∈ RN , N is the spatial coordinate, ρ > 0 and u denote the density and velocity, respectively. Pressure function is taken as P ρ ργ with γ > 1, and DU ∇Ut ∇U 2 1.2 2 Journal of Applied Mathematics is the strain tensor and μρ, λρ are the Lamé viscosity coefficients satisfying μ ρ > 0, μ ρ Nλ ρ ≥ 0. 1.3 There are many important progress achieved recently on the compressible NavierStokes equations with density-dependent viscosity coefficient. For instance, the mathematical derivations are derived in the simulation of flow surface in shallow region 1–4. The prototype model is the viscous Saint-Venant. The well posedness of solutions to the free boundary value problem with initial finite mass and the flow density being connected with the infinite vacuum either continuously or via jump discontinuity is investigated by many authors, refer to 5–12 and references therein. Mellet and Vasseur showed the global existence of strong solutions for α ∈ 0, 1/2 13. The qualitative behaviors of global solutions and dynamical asymptotics of vacuum states are also made, such as the finite time vanishing of finite vacuum or asymptotical formation of vacuum in large time, the dynamical behaviors of vacuum boundary, the large time convergence to rarefaction wave with vacuum, and the stability of shock profile with large shock strength, refer to 14–17 and references therein. In this present paper, we consider the exterior problem and the initial boundary value problem for the spherically symmetric isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations with density-dependent viscosity coefficient and focus on the regularities and dynamical behaviors of global strong solution, and so forth. As γ > 1, we show that the exterior problem and the initial boundary value problem with regular initial data both admit the unique global strong solution. In particular, the strong solution tends to the equilibrium state as t → ∞. The rest of the paper is arranged as follows. In Section 2, the main results about the dynamical behaviors of global strong solution for compressible Navier-Stokes equations are stated. Then, the theorems of the exterior problem and the initial boundary value problem are proved in Sections 3 and 4, respectively. 2. Notations and Main Results For simplicity, we will take μρ ρ and λρ 0 and DU ∇U in 1.1. The isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations become ρt div ρU 0, ρU t div ρU ⊗ U ∇P ρ − div ρ∇U 0. 2.1 Firstly, we consider the exterior problem, namely, the initial data and boundary conditions of 2.1 are imposed as follows: ρ, U x, 0 ρ0 , U0 x, x ∈ Ω, on ∂Ω, lim ρ, u x, t ρ, 0 , U 0, |x| → ∞ t ∈ 0, T , 2.2 where Ω : R3 /Ωr− , Ωr− is a ball of radius r− centered at the origin in R3 , and ρ > 0 is a constant. Journal of Applied Mathematics 3 We are concerned with the spherically symmetric solutions of system 2.1 in an spherically symmetric exterior domain Ω. To this end, we denote that |x| r, ρx, t ρr, t, x Ux, t ur, t , r 2.3 which leads to the following system of equations for r > 0, 2ρu ρt ρu r 0, r 2 2ρu2 2u − ρur r − ρ ρu t ρu ργ 0, r r r r 2.4 with the initial data and boundary conditions ρ, u r, 0 ρ0 , u0 r, r ∈ r− , ∞, ur− , t 0, lim ρ, u r, t ρ, 0 t ∈ 0, T , 2.5 r → ∞ and the initial data satisfies for some constants ρ and ρ > 0 ρ0 − ρ ∈ L1 r− , ∞ ∩ L2 r− , ∞, rρ0r ∈ L2 r− , ∞, inf x∈r− ,∞ ρ0 > ρ > 0, r 2 u0 ∈ H 2 r− , ∞. 2.6 Then, we define that ∞ ∞ 1 γ−1 ρ0 − ργ−1 ργ ρ0−1 − ρ−1 r 2 dr, γ −1 r− r− ∞ ∞ 2 1 1 γ−1 ρ0 − ργ−1 ργ ρ0−1 − ρ−1 r 2 dr, E1 : ρ0 u0 ρ0−1 ρ0 r r 2 dr ρ0 2 r− γ −1 r− 2.7 E0 : 1 2 ρ0 u20 r 2 dr ρ0 and give the main results as follows. Theorem 2.1. Let γ > 1. Assume that the initial data satisfies 2.6 and E0 E1 < νr−2 ργ/21/2 , ν is a positive constant. Then, there exist two positive constants ρ∗ and ρ∗ and a unique global strong solution ρ, u to the exterior problem 2.4 and 2.5, namely, satisfying 0 < ρ∗ ≤ ρr, t ≤ ρ∗ , r, t ∈ r− , ∞ × 0, T , ρ − ρ ∈ L∞ 0, T ; L2 r− , ∞ , ρr ∈ L∞ 0, T ; L2 r− , ∞ , u ∈ L∞ 0, T ; L2 r− , ∞ , ur ∈ L∞ 0, T ; L2 r− , ∞ .

By 2.3, one considers 2.4 with the initial data and boundary conditions ρ, u r, 0 ρ0 , u0 r, ur− , t ur , t 0, r ∈ r− , r , 2.11 t ∈ 0, T , and the initial data satisfies for some constant ρ > 0 ρ0 ∈ L1 r− , r ∩ W 1,∞ r− , r , inf ρ0 > ρ > 0, x∈r− ,r r 2 u0 ∈ H 2 r− , r . 2.12 Then, can give the main results as follows. Theorem 2.2. Let γ > 1. Assume that the initial data satisfies 2.12, there exist two positive constants ρ∗ and ρ∗ and a unique global strong solution ρ, u to the initial boundary value problem 2.4 and 2.11, namely, satisfying 0 < ρ∗ ≤ ρr, t ≤ ρ∗ , r, t ∈ r− , r × 0, T , ρ ∈ L∞ 0, T ; L2 r− , r , ρr ∈ L∞ 0, T ; L2 r− , r , u ∈ L∞ 0, T ; L2 r− , r , ur ∈ L∞ 0, T ; L2 r− , r . 2.13 Furthermore, the solution ρ, u tends to the equilibrium state exponentially ρ − ρ, u ·, t L∞ r− ,r ≤ C0 e−C1 t , where C0 and C1 are positive constants independent of time and ρ 2.14 r r− ρr, tr 2 dr.
