A Beale-Kato-Majda Blow-up criterion for the 3-D compressible Navier-Stokes equations
We prove a blow-up criterion in terms of the upper bound of the density for
the strong solution to the 3-D compressible Navier-Stokes equations. The
initial vacuum is allowed. The main ingredient of the proof is \textit{a
priori} estimate for an important quantity under the assumption that the
density is upper bounded, whose divergence can be viewed as the effective
viscous flux.Comment: 17 page
