“…Here we establish the exponential stability of spherically symmetric solutions to an initialboundary value problem for nonlinear non-autonomous compressible Navier-Stokes equations with an external force and a heat source in bounded annular domains G n = {x ∈ R n : 0 < a ≤ |x| ≤ b} in R n (1 ≤ n ≤ 3), based on the uniform estimates obtained in Chapter 1 of Qin and Huang [102]. In Eulerian coordinates, the equations under consideration read If we denote (ρ,ṽ,θ) still by (ρ, v, θ) and (ζ, t) by (x, t).…”
