Abstract:  This research discusses about stability on three dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in steady 
state 
0,
 and with Navier boundary condition. The analysis is performed in a region geometrically of the 
form box hollow. The result shows the shape of stability (or instability) depends on energy, and strengthen 
the slip length and viscosity. With the presence of critical viscosity, it can also be shown the stability in three-
dimensional domain hold by using of normed spaces. 
1 INTRODUCTION 
In mathematically, the Navier-Stokes equations in 
three dimensions are formed by viscosity. So, the 
equations from  is described by the following 
system  
., 
.0 
where   is the time,  is the point of Ω;   is the 
density,   is the velocity,  is the corresponding 
pressure and the positive constant  is the velocity 
coefficient. So, 
.
 
 
The basic of stability analysis depends on which 
is function ,. In the case, the autonomous 
system means that the systems are not depend on the 
time . Therefore,

The stability is defined by two Lyapunov Stability 
and Asymptotic Stability (Jiang F and Jiang S, 2014). 
The concept of Lyapunov stability is 
 is said to 
be stable if given 0, there exist a 
0 
such that, for any other solution, 
satisfying

there exist a constant 0 such that, if

0. 
There are so many researches about stability 
analysis in Navier-Stokes equations, the nonlinear 
instability in inhomogeneous incompressible flow 
and stability and instability of gravity (Tulus, 2012). 
On 2012, Tulus was obtained the stability of Taken-
Bogdanov equations with numerical solution. Based 
on the research has not found any research about 
stability analysis on the three dimensional for 
incompressible flow. Thus, this study is about the 
analysis of linear stability in the three dimensions of 
the compressed Navier-Stokes equation. In this 
research, three-dimensional model that will be 
discussed is as follows.
