Fluids with shear rate-dependent viscosity form a special class of non-Newtonian fluids that play a crucial role in continuum dynamics. We consider a compressible barotropic flow of such fluids, governed by a generalized Navier-Stokes system. Due to the nonlinearity in the elliptic term, obtaining the existence of weak solutions is challenging. To address this, we introduce the concept of a measure-valued solution, whose existence is established in a very general setting using an abstract theorem on the existence of a Young measure. We also discuss the proof of this key result.
