Abstract

We study the global strong solutions to the compressible Navier–Stokes system with potential temperature transport in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Different from the Navier–Stokes–Fourier system, the pressure being a nonlinear function of the density and the potential temperature, we can not exploit the special quasi-diagonalization structure of this system to capture any dissipation of the density. Some new ideas and delicate analysis involving high or low frequency decomposition in the Besov spaces have to be made to close the energy estimates.
