Large time decay and growth for solutions of a viscous Boussinesq system
Lorenzo Brandolese 1, Maria Elena Schonbek 2
(18/03/2010)

In this paper we analyze the decay and the growth for large time of weak and strong solutions to the three-dimensional viscous Boussinesq system. We show that generic solutions blow up as $t\to\infty$ in the sense that the energy and the $L^p$-norms of the velocity field grow to infinity for large time, for $1\le p<3$. In the case of strong solutions we provide sharp estimates both from above and from below and explicit asymptotic profiles. We also show that solutions arising from $(u_0,\theta_0)$ with zero-mean for the initial temperature $\theta_0$ have a special behavior as $|x|$ or $t$ tends to infinity: contrarily to the generic case, their energy dissipates to zero for large time.
