Stability of steady states of the 3-D Navier-Stokes-Poisson equations with non-flat doping profile in exterior domains

Abstract

This paper concerns an initial boundary value problem of compressible Navier-Stokes-Poisson equations with the non-flat doping profile in a 3-D exterior domain.The global existence of strong solutions near a steady state for compressible Navier-Stokes-Poisson equations with the general Navier-slip boundary conditions is established. For our setting, not only a steady state should be constructed in the exterior domain by the sub and super solution method, but also some new techniques should be adopted to obtain a priori estimates, especially some refined elliptic estimates and the estimates on the boundary.
