The initial boundary value problem for the compressible Navier-Stokes equation is considered in an infinite layer of R 2 . It is proved that if the Reynolds and Mach numbers are sufficiently small, then strong solutions to the compressible Navier-Stokes equation around parallel flows exist globally in time for sufficiently small initial perturbations. The large time behavior of the solution is described by a solution of a one-dimensional viscous Burgers equation. The proof is given by a combination of spectral analysis of the linearized operator and a variant of the Matsumura-Nishida energy method.

Decay estimates on solutions to the linearized compressible Navier–Stokes equation around time-periodic parallel flow are established. It is shown that if the Reynolds and Mach numbers are sufficiently small, solutions of the linearized problem decay in L2 norm as an (n - 1)-dimensional heat kernel. Furthermore, it is proved that the asymptotic leading part of solutions is given by solutions of an (n - 1)-dimensional linear heat equation with a convective term multiplied by time-periodic function.
