  • We investigate the barotropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations with slip boundary conditions in a three-dimensional (3D) simply connected bounded domain, whose smooth boundary has a finite number of two-dimensional connected components. For any adiabatic exponent bigger than one, after discovering some new estimates on boundary integrals related to the slip boundary condition, we prove that both the weak and classical solutions to the initial-boundary-value problem of this system exist globally in time provided the initial energy is suitably small. Moreover, the density has large oscillations and contains vacuum states. Finally, it is also shown that for the classical solutions, the oscillation of the density will grow unboundedly in the long run with an exponential rate provided vacuum appears (even at a point) initially. This is the first result concerning the global existence of classical solutions to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations with density containing vacuum states initially for general 3D bounded smooth domains.
