On the half-space or exterior problems of the 3D compressible elastic Navier-Stokes-Poisson equations

Abstract

We study the three-dimensional compressible elastic Navier-Stokes-Poisson equations induced by a new bipolar viscoelastic model derived here, which model the motion of the compressible electrically conducting fluids. The various boundary conditions for the electrostatic potential including the Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions are considered. By using a unified energy method, we obtain the unique global $H^2$ solution near a constant equilibrium state in the half-space or exterior of an obstacle. The elasticity plays a crucial role in establishing the $L^2$ estimate for the electrostatic field.
