TL;DR
The paper studies the Cauchy problem for the 3D compressible Navier–Stokes system with the Coriolis force on $\mathbb{R}^3$ in the scaling-critical Besov framework. It combines dispersive effects from rapid rotation with acoustic waves and develops linear energy and dispersive/Strichartz estimates, including an inviscid reduction to obtain explicit spectral decay. Through a local fixed-point argument in the scaling-critical spaces and a detailed continuation analysis, it proves long-time existence and uniqueness of strong solutions for arbitrarily large data provided $|\Omega|$ is sufficiently large and the Mach number $\varepsilon$ is small, with the regime $\Omega_T \le |\Omega| \le 1/\varepsilon$. The work demonstrates how fast rotation can regularize the compressible NSC system in the whole space by inducing dispersion despite anisotropy, establishing a first well-posedness result in the critical Besov setting for this model. Overall, the results offer a rigorous framework for analyzing geophysical flows under fast rotation and low Mach number in critical regularity classes.
Abstract
We consider the three-dimensional compressible Navier--Stokes system with the Coriolis force and prove the long-time existence of a unique strong solution. More precisely, we show that for any $0<T<\infty$ and arbitrary large initial data in the scaling critical Besov spaces, the solution uniquely exists on $[0,T]$ provided that the speed of rotation is high and the Mach numbers are low enough. To the best of our knowledge, this paper is the first contribution to the well-posedness of the \textit{compressible} Navier--Stokes system with the Coriolis force in the whole space $\mathbb R^3$. The key ingredient of our analysis is to establish the dispersive linear estimates despite a quite complicated structure of the linearized equation due to the anisotropy of the Coriolis force.
