I also have interests in compressible flow, particularly in
a confined flow problem necessitating (1) above. You will
find the complete Navier-Stokes equations for compressible
fluid flow in cylindrical, spherical and curvilinear coordinates
in:

Pai, Shih-I (1956) Viscous Flow Theory: I- Laminar Flow,
     Van Nostrand, Princeton, N.J. 384 p.

Pai's second volume is on Turbulent Flow. I fully realised
that the reference is somewhat old, but recent texts I have
consulted on fluid dynamics are very skimpy on compressible
flow.

Cheers,
