Stability threshold for 2D shear flows of the Boussinesq system near Couette
Abstract
In this paper, we consider the stability threshold for the shear flows of the Boussinesq system in a domain $\mathbb{T} \times \mathbb{R}$. The main goal is to prove the nonlinear stability of the shear flow $(U^S,\Theta^S)=((e^{\nu t\partial_{yy}}U(y),0)^{\top},\alpha y)$ with $U(y)$ close to $y$ and $\alpha\geq0$. We separate two cases: one is $\alpha\geq 0$ small scaling with the viscosity coefficients and the case without smallness of $\alpha$ and fixed heat diffusion coefficient. The novelty here is that we don't require $\mu=\nu$ and only need to assume that $\mu$ is scaled with $\nu$ or fixed, where $\mu$ is the inverse of the Reynolds number and $\nu $ is the heat diffusion coefficient.
