Initial boundary value problems for 3-d Navier-Stokes equations with hyperbolic heat conduction

We study an initial boundary value problem for the 3-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations with hyperbolic heat conduction, where the classical Fourier law is replaced by the Cattaneo-Christov constitutive relation. We focus on spherically symmetric solutions. We establish the existence of uniform global small solutions to the resulting system. Furthermore, based on uniform a priori estimates, we rigorously justify both the relaxation limit and the vanishing viscosity limit.
