Abstract

In this paper, we investigate global existence and optimal decay rates of strong solutions to the three dimensional compressible Phan–Thein–Tanner model. We prove the global existence of the solutions by the standard energy method under the small initial data assumptions. Furthermore, if the initial data belong to $L^1 (\mathbb{R}^3)$, we establish the optimal time decay rates of the solution as well as its higher-order spatial derivatives. In particular, we also obtain the optimal decay rates of the highest-order spatial derivatives of the velocity. Finally, we derive the lower bound time decay rates for the solution and its spatial derivatives. Our method is based on Hodge decomposition, low-frequency and high-frequency decomposition, delicate spectral analysis, and energy methods.
