Keywords: Boussinesq system; inviscid limit; slip boundary condition
1 Introduction
Let Ω ⊂ R2 be a bounded, simply connected domain with smooth boundary ∂Ω, and n is the unit outward normal vector to ∂Ω We consider the Boussinesq system in Ω × (0, ∞):
∂ t u + u · ∇u + ∇π − ∆u = θe2, (1.1)
∂ t θ + u · ∇θ = ²∆θ, (1.3)
u · n = 0, curlu = 0, θ = 0, on ∂Ω × (0, ∞), (1.4)
(u, θ)(x, 0) = (u0, θ0)(x), x ∈ Ω, (1.5)
where u, π, and θ denote unknown velocity vector field, pressure scalar and temperature
of the fluid ² > 0 is the heat conductivity coefficient and e2 := (0, 1) t ω := curlu :=
∂1u2− ∂2u1 is the vorticity
The aim of this article is to study the partial vanishing viscosity limit ² → 0 When
Ω := R2, the problem has been solved by Chae [1] When θ = 0, the Boussinesq system
reduces to the well-known Navier–Stokes equations The investigation of the inviscid limit
Trang 4of solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations is a classical issue We refer to the articles [2–7] when Ω is a bounded domain However, the methods in [1–6] could not be used here directly
We will use a well-known logarithmic Sobolev inequality in [8,9] to complete our proof We will prove:
Theorem 1.1 Let u0 ∈ H3, divu0 = 0 in Ω, u0· n = 0, curlu0 = 0 on ∂Ω and θ0 ∈ H1
0∩ H2 Then there exists a positive constant C independent of ² such that
ku ² k L ∞ (0,T ;H3)∩L2(0,T ;H4 ) ≤ C, kθ ² k L ∞ (0,T ;H2 ) ≤ C, k∂ t u ² k L2(0,T ;L2 ) ≤ C, k∂ t θ ² k L2(0,T ;L2 ) ≤ C
(1.6)
for any T > 0, which implies
(u ² , θ ² ) → (u, θ) strongly in L2(0, T ; H1) when ² → 0. (1.7)
Here (u, θ) is the unique solution of the problem (1.1)–(1.5) with ² = 0.
2 Proof of Theorem 1.1
Since (1.7) follows easily from (1.6) by the Aubin-Lions compactness principle, we only
need to prove the a priori estimates (1.6) From now on we will drop the subscript ² and throughout this section C will be a constant independent of ² > 0.
First, we recall the following two lemmas in [8–10]
Lemma 2.1 ([8,9]) There holds
k∇uk L ∞(Ω) ≤ C(1 + kcurluk L ∞(Ω)log(e + kuk H3 (Ω)))
for any u ∈ H3(Ω) with divu = 0 in Ω and u · n = 0 on ∂Ω.
Trang 5Lemma 2.2 ([10]) For any u ∈ W s,p with divu = 0 in Ω and u · n = 0 on ∂Ω, there holds
kuk W s,p ≤ C(kuk L p + kcurluk W s−1,p)
for any s > 1 and p ∈ (1, ∞).
By the maximum principle, it follows from (1.2), (1.3), and (1.4) that
kθk L ∞ (0,T ;L ∞) ≤ kθ0k L ∞ ≤ C. (2.1)
Testing (1.3) by θ, using (1.2), (1.3), and (1.4), we see that

|∇θ|2dx = 0,
which gives

²kθk L2(0,T ;H1 ) ≤ C. (2.2)
Testing (1.1) by u, using (1.2), (1.4), and (2.1), we find that

θe2u ≤ kθk L2kuk L2 ≤ Ckuk L2,
which gives
kuk L ∞ (0,T ;L2 )+ kuk L2(0,T ;H1 ) ≤ C. (2.3) Here we used the well-known inequality:
kuk H1 ≤ Ckcurluk L2.
Applying curl to (1.1), using (1.2), we get
∂ t ω + u · ∇ω − ∆ω = curl(θe2). (2.4)
Trang 6Testing (2.4) by |ω| p−2 ω (p > 2), using (1.2), (1.4), and (2.1), we obtain

which gives
kuk L ∞ (0,T ;W 1,p)≤ Ckωk L ∞ (0,T ;L p)≤ C. (2.5)
(2.4) can be rewritten as
∂ t ω − ∆ω = divf := curl(θe2) − div(uω),
ω = 0 on ∂Ω × (0, ∞) ω(x, 0) = ω0(x) in Ω with f1 := θ − u1ω, f2 := −u2ω.
Using (2.1), (2.5) and the L ∞-estimate of the heat equation, we reach the key estimate
kωk L ∞ (0,T ;L ∞) ≤ C(kω0k L ∞ + kf k L ∞ (0,T ;L p) ≤ C). (2.6)
Let τ be any unit tangential vector of ∂Ω, using (1.4), we infer that
u · ∇θ = ((u · τ )τ + (u · n)n) · ∇θ = (u · τ )τ · ∇θ = (u · τ ) ∂θ
∂τ = 0 (2.7)
on ∂Ω × (0, ∞).
Trang 7It follows from (1.3), (1.4), and (2.7) that
Applying ∆ to (1.3), testing by ∆θ, using (1.2), (1.4), and (2.8), we derive

Similarly to (2.7) and (2.8), if follows from (2.4) and (1.4) that

kθk L ∞ (0,T ;H2 )+√ ²kθk L ∞ (0,T ;H3 )≤ C, (2.15)
kuk L ∞ (0,T ;H3 )+ kuk L2(0,T ;H4 ) ≤ C. (2.16)
It follows from (1.1), (1.3), (2.15), and (2.16) that
k∂ t uk L2(0,T ;L2 )≤ C, k∂ t θk L2(0,T ;L2 ) ≤ C.
