Abstract
In this paper, we consider the global existence of strong solutions to the three-dimensional Boussinesq equations on the smooth bounded domain Ω. Based on the blow-up criterion and uniform estimates, we prove that the strong solution exists globally in time if the initial L^{2}-norm of velocity and temperature are small. Moreover, an exponential decay rate of the strong solution is obtained.

Boussinesq system (1.1) has been widely used in atmospheric sciences and oceanic fluids [9], and there is a huge amount of literature on the well-posedness theory of strong and week solutions for the three-dimensional Boussinesq equations
Theorem 1.2 implies that Navier–Stokes equations admit a unique global strong solution on Ω × [0, T] for any T > 0, provided that there exists a constant ε0 > 0 such that u0
Summary
We consider the following three-dimensional incompressible Boussinesq equations in the Eulerian coordinates:. Theorem 1.2 (Global strong solution) For any given Ki > 0 (i = 1, 2), suppose that the initial data satisfy (u0, θ0) ∈ H01 ∩ H2, div u0 = 0 in Ω, and. Theorem 1.2 implies that Navier–Stokes equations admit a unique global strong solution on Ω × [0, T] for any T > 0, provided that there exists a constant ε0 > 0 such that (1.8). 3, we show that ∇u L∞(0,T;L2) will never blow up in finite time, which combines the blow-up criterion in Theorem 1.1, global existence of strong solution is proved in Theorem 1.2 provided the initial data of velocity and temperature are suitably small under the L2-norm. From Lemmas 2.1–2.3, we can see that Theorem 1.1 is proved
