Analysis of a singular Boussinesq model

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Recently, a new singularity formation scenario for the 3D axi-symmetric Euler equation and the 2D inviscid Boussinesq system has been proposed by Hu and Luo based on extensive numerical simulations [15, 16]. As the firrst step to understand the scenario, models with simplified sign-definite Biot-Savart law and forcing have recently been studied in [7, 6, 8, 12, 14, 18]. In this paper, we aim to bring back one of the complications encountered in the original equation - the sign changing kernel in the Biot-Savart law. This makes analysis harder, as there are two competing terms in the fluid velocity integral whose balance determines the regularity properties of the solution. The equation we study here is based on the CKY model introduced in [6]. We prove that finite time blow up persists in a certain range of parameters.


Recently, a new singularity formation scenario for the 3D axi-symmetric Euler equation and the 2D inviscid Boussinesq system has been proposed by \textit{G. Luo} and \textit{T. Y. Hou} [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 111, No. 36, 12968--12973 (2014; Zbl 1431.35115)] based on extensive numerical simulations. As the first step to understanding this scenario, models with a simplified sign-definite Biot-Savart law and forcing have recently been studied by \textit{K. Choi} et al. [Commun. Pure Appl. Math. 70, No. 11, 2218--2243 (2017; Zbl 1377.35218); Commun. Math. Phys. 334, No. 3, 1667--1679 (2015; Zbl 1309.35072)], \textit{T. Do} et al. [J. Nonlinear Sci. 28, No. 6, 2127--2152 (2018; Zbl 1406.35249)], \textit{V. Hoang} et al. [J. Differ. Equations 264, No. 12, 7328--7356 (2018; Zbl 1387.35066)], \textit{T. Y. Hou} and \textit{P. Liu} [Res. Math. Sci. 2, Paper No. 5, 26 p. (2015; Zbl 1320.35269)], and the first author and \textit{C. Tan} [Adv. Math. 325, 34--55 (2018; Zbl 1382.35054)]. In this paper, the authors aim to bring back one of the complications encountered in the original equation, i.e., the sign changing kernel in the Biot-Savart law. This makes the analysis harder, as there are two competing terms in the fluid velocity integral whose balance determines the regularity properties of the solution. The equation the authors study is based on the CKY model introduced by Choi et al. [2015, loc. cit.]. They prove that finite time blow-up persists in a certain range of parameters.
