Abstract

We examine the large-time behaviour of solutions to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations under the assumption of radial symmetry. In particular, we calculate a fast time-decay estimate of the norm of the nonlinear part of the solution. This allows us to obtain a bound from below for the time-decay of the solution in L^∞, proving that our decay estimate in that space is sharp. The decay rate is the same as that of the linear problem for curl-free flow. We also obtain an estimate for a scalar system related to curl-free solutions to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations in a weighted Lebesgue space.
