Abstract

We consider a model of the motion of a viscous dielectric liquid subjected to a DC electric field when the bulk conduction results from the presence of a dissociation-recombination process. It is shown that any weak solution approaches a neighbourhood of a spatially homogeneous steady state with radius r≈(d+ +d)&14frac;, where d+, d are the diffusion coefficients.
