On the global well-posedness of the two-dimensional Boussinesq system with a zero diffusivity (Q944175): Difference between revisions

The authors consider the 2D Boussinesq system \[ \partial_t \vec v+\vec v \cdot \nabla \vec v -\nu \Delta \vec v+\nabla p=\theta \vec e, \] \[ \partial_t \theta+\vec v \cdot \nabla \theta -\kappa \Delta \theta=0, \] \[ \text{div}\;\vec v=0, \] with initial conditions \[ \left. \left(\vec v,\theta\right)\right| _{t=0}=\left(\vec v^0,\theta^0\right), \] where \(\vec e=(0,1)\), \(\vec v=(v_1,v_2)\) is the velocity, \(p\) is the pressure, the kinematic viscosity \(\nu\) is a positive parameter and the diffusivity coefficient \(\kappa\) is nonnegative. In this article, they study the specific situation where the temperature is only advected by the flow without diffusion (the molecular conductivity \(\kappa\) is zero). They first prove provided that \(\theta^0\in L^2\) and \(\vec v^0\) is a divergence-free \(H^s\)-vector-field with \(s\in [0,2)\), that system (BS) admits a global weak solution such that \[ \vec v\in C({\mathbb R}_+;H^s)\cap L^2_{\text{loc}}({\mathbb R}_+;H^{\min\{s+1,2\}}), \] and \[ \theta \in C_b({\mathbb R}_+; L^2). \] Moreover, if \(\theta^0\in B^0_{2,1}\cap B^0_{p,\infty}\) with \(p\in (2,\infty]\) and \(\vec v^0\) is a divergence-free \(H^s\)-vector-field with \(s\in (0,2]\), the system (BS) admits a unique global solution such that \[ \vec v\in C({\mathbb R}_+;H^s)\cap L^2_{\text{loc}}({\mathbb R}_+;H^{\min\{s+1,2\}})\cap L^1_{\text{loc}}({\mathbb R}_+;B^2_{2,1}), \] and \[ \theta \in C({\mathbb R}_+; B^0_{2,1}\cap B^0_{p,\infty}). \]
