Abstract

This paper presents mathematical properties of solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations for compressible fluids. We first review existence results for the Cauchy problem, and describe some regularity properties of solutions in the presence of possibly vanishing densities. Finally, we address the problem of the low Mach number limit leading to incompressible models.
