contents We study a three-dimensional barotropic compressible Navier-Stokes flow interacting with a viscoelastic shell that occupies a portion of the fluid boundary. The analysis is entirely Eulerian and the moving interface is parametrised by a localised Hanzawa transform supported near the shell patch, which preserves the transport structure of the continuity equation and avoids a global Lagrangian map. We prove local-in-time existence and uniqueness of strong solutions for compatible data and without imposing a vanishing initial shell displacement. The proof combines a well-posedness theory for the continuity equation, solved by the method of characteristics in the Hanzawa frame, with an analysis of the momentum-structure subproblem carried out by the classical linearisation-energy estimate -- fixed-point scheme on a fixed reference domain. A Banach fixed point then couples the two steps and closes the argument on a short time interval. We work with a viscosity-weighted energy that makes the scaling in the shear and bulk viscosities explicit. This yields bounds whose constants grow at most linearly in these parameters. In particular, the estimates are inviscid-limit compatible. The result complements the global finite-energy weak theory for compressible fluid-shell interaction by providing a local strong well-posedness statement in the same geometric configuration. It also extends strong boundary results beyond beams and plates to bending shells, and addresses the wave-to-bending direction suggested in the literature on compressible fluid-structure interaction at structural boundaries, while remaining fully Eulerian.
