The Boussinesq equations with vertical dissipation near the Couette flow
Abstract: The Boussinesq equations concerned here model buoyancy-driven fluids such
as various atmospheric and oceanographic flows, and the Rayleigh-Benard
convection. This talk presents recent stability results on the Boussinesq
equations with partial dissipation near the Couette flow. We are able to prove
the nonlinear stability and large-time behavior results by exploiting the
enhanced dissipation created by a linear non-self-adjoint operator. This is a
joint work with Wen Deng and Ping Zhang. If time permits, we will briefly
mention stability results concerning the hydrostatic balance.
