On continuation criteria for the full compressible Navier-Stokes equations in Lorentz spaces

In this paper, we derive several new sufficient conditions of non-breakdown of strong solutions for for both the 3D heat-conducting compressible Navier-Stokes system and nonhomogeneous incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. First, it is shown that there exists a positive constant $\varepsilon$ such that the solution $(\rho,u,\theta)$ to full compressible Navier-Stokes equations can be extended beyond $t=T$ provided that one of the following two conditions holds (1) $\rho \in L^{\infty}(0,T;L^{\infty}(\mathbb{R}^{3}))$, $u\in L^{p,\infty}(0,T;L^{q,\infty}(\mathbb{R}^{3}))$ and $$\| u\|_{L^{p,\infty}(0,T;L^{q,\infty}(\mathbb{R}^{3}))}\leq \varepsilon, ~~\text{with}~~ {2/p}+ {3/q}=1,\ \ q>3;$$ (2) $\lambda<3\mu,$ $\rho \in L^{\infty}(0,T;L^{\infty}(\mathbb{R}^{3}))$, $\theta\in L^{p,\infty}(0,T;L^{q,\infty}(\mathbb{R}^{3}))$ and $$\|\theta\|_{L^{p,\infty}(0,T; L^{q,\infty}(\mathbb{R}^{3}))}\leq \varepsilon, ~~\text{with}~~ {2/p}+ {3/q}=2,\ \ q>3/2.$$ To the best of our knowledge, this is the first continuation theorem allowing the time direction to be in Lorentz spaces for the compressible fluid. Second, we establish some blow-up criteria in anisotropic Lebesgue spaces to the full Navier-Stokes system. Third, without the condition on $\rho$ in (0.1) and (0.3), the results also hold for the 3D nonhomogeneous incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The appearance of vacuum in these systems could be allowed.
