Remarks on the periodic solution of the heat convection equation in a perturbed annulus domain (Q1357062)

We consider the heat convection equation in a time-dependent bounded domain \(\Omega(t)\) of \(\mathbb{R}^2\) which varies periodically with period \(T_p\) \[ \begin{aligned} u_t+(u\cdot \nabla)u=- (\nabla p)/\rho+ \{1-\alpha (\theta-T_0)\}g+\nu\Delta u &\quad\text{in }\widehat{\Omega},\\ \text{div }u=0, \quad \theta_t (u\cdot\nabla) \theta=\kappa \Delta\theta &\quad\text{in }\widehat{\Omega},\\ u|_{\partial\Omega(t)}= \beta(x,t), \quad \theta|_{\Gamma_0}= T_0>0, \quad \theta|_{\Gamma(t)}=0, &\quad{}\\ u(\cdot,t+T_p)= u(\cdot,t), \quad \theta(\cdot,t+T_p)= \theta(t), &\quad\text{in }\Omega(0), \end{aligned} \] where \(\widehat{\Omega}= \bigcup_{0<t<\infty} \Omega(t)\times \{t\}\) and \(\partial\Omega(t)\) (the boundary of \(\Omega(t))\) consists of two smooth components, i.e. \(\partial\Omega(t)= \Gamma_0\cup \Gamma(t)\), and \(\Gamma_0\) is the inner boundary which bounds a compact set \(K\), while the outer boundary \(\Gamma(t)\) is a smooth one with respect to both \(x\) and \(t\). We obtained, in [Proc. Japan Acad. Ser. A 69, No. 3, 71-76 (1993; Zbl 0804.35062)], a sufficient condition for the existence of a periodic strong solution in the form of a certain relation between given data including a time period, but not including the magnitude of \(b\), which is an extension of a boundary function \(\beta(x,t)\). The purpose of the present paper is to improve this result and to remove the small type condition on the boundary data of the fluid velocity.
