Abstract
The object of this article is to show the existence of weak solutions to the Navier–Stokes–Fourier Poisson system on (in general) unbounded domains. The topic is a natural continuation of the author’s results on the existence of weak solutions to the problem on Lipschitz domains and to the Oxenius system on unbounded domains. Technique of the proof is based on the tools developed in a series of works by Feireisl (Oxford lecture series in mathematics and its applications, 26, Oxford University Press, Oxford) and others during the recent years. The weak solution’s sensitivity to a change of the domain is discussed as well.
