Abstract

We investigate the asymptotic stability of the solutions to Boussinesq equations without heat conduction with the initial data near a specific stationary solution in the three-dimensional domain \(\Omega = {\mathbb{R}^2} \times (0,1)\). It is shown that the solution starting from a small perturbation to the stationary solution converges to it with explicit algebraic rates as time tends to infinity.
