Stability and large-time behavior for the 2D Boussineq system with horizontal dissipation and vertical thermal diffusion

Nonlinear Differential Equations and Applications (NoDEA)

2022

This paper solves the stability and large-time behavior problem on perturbations near the hydrostatic equilibrium of the two-dimensional Boussinesq system with horizontal dissipation and vertical thermal diffusion. The spatial domain \(\Omega \) is \({\mathbb {T}} \times {\mathbb {R}}\) with \({\mathbb {T}}=[0,1]\) being the 1D periodic box and \({\mathbb {R}}\) being the whole line. The results presented in this paper establish the observed stabilizing phenomenon and stratifying patterns of the buoyancy-driven fluids as mathematically rigorous facts. The stability and large-time behavior problem concerned here is difficult due to the lack of the vertical dissipation and horizontal thermal diffusion. To make up for the missing regularization, we exploit the smoothing and stabilizing effect due to the coupling and interaction between the temperature and the fluids. By constructing suitable energy functional and introducing the orthogonal decomposition of the velocity and the temperature into their horizontal averages and oscillation parts, we are able to establish the stability in the Sobolev space \(H^2\) and obtain algebraic decay rates for the oscillation parts in the \(H^1\)-norm.

The stabilizing effect of the temperature on buoyancy-driven fluids

Indiana University Mathematics Journal

2020

The Boussinesq system for buoyancy driven fluids couples the momentum equation forced by the buoyancy with the convection-diffusion equation for the temperature. One fundamental issue on the Boussinesq system is the stability problem on perturbations near the hydrostatic balance. This problem can be extremely difficult when the system lacks full dissipation. This paper solves the stability problem for a two-dimensional Boussinesq system with only vertical dissipation and horizontal thermal diffusion. We establish the stability for the nonlinear system and derive precise large-time behavior for the linearized system. The results presented in this paper reveal a remarkable phenomenon for buoyancy driven fluids. That is, the temperature actually smooths and stabilizes the fluids. If the temperature were not present, the fluid is governed by the 2D Navier-Stokes with only vertical dissipation and its stability remains open. It is the coupling and interaction between the temperature and the velocity in the Boussinesq system that makes the stability problem studied here possible. Mathematically the system can be reduced to degenerate and damped wave equations that fuel the stabilization.
