On the Boussinesq system with fractional memory in pseudo-measure spaces

Abstract

This paper studies the existence of local and global self-similar solutions for a Boussinesq system with fractional memory and fractional diffusions u t + u · ∇ u + ∇ p + ν ( − Δ ) β u = θ f , x ∈ R n , t > 0 , θ t + u · ∇ θ + g α ∗ ( − Δ ) γ θ = 0 , x ∈ R n , t > 0 , div u = 0 , x ∈ R n , t > 0 , u ( x , 0 ) = u 0 , θ ( x , 0 ) = θ 0 , x ∈ R n , where g α ( t ) = t α − 1 Γ ( α ) . The existence results are obtained in the framework of pseudo-measure spaces. We find that the existence and self-similarity of global solutions is strongly influenced by the relationship among the memory and the fractional diffusions. Indeed, we obtain the existence and self-similarity of global solutions only when γ = ( α + 1 ) β. Moreover, we prove a stability result for the global solutions and the existence of asymptotically self-similar solutions.
