“…As mentioned by Sideris [18], the maximum propagation speed of a front into a constant state is a priori determined by the background state, whereas one cannot expect the property of finite propagation speed when the solutions decay to zero at far fields. For the compressible Navier-Stokes equations with solutions decay at far fields, Jiu et al [6] obtained some blowup results by establishing some relations among some physical quantities such as mass, momentum, momentum of inertia, internal energy, potential energy, total energy, and some combined functionals of these quantities, see the extended results in [19]. So, the second aim of this note is to generalize the blowup results of [6,19] to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations with Maxwell's law.…”
