1 Introduction
Let Ω ⊆ ℝ2 be a bounded, simply connected domain with smooth boundary ∂Ω, and n is the unit outward normal vector to ∂Ω. We consider the following Cahn-Hilliard-Boussinesq system in Ω × (0, ∞) [1]:
where u, π, θ and ϕ denote unknown velocity field, pressure scalar, temperature of the fluid and the order parameter, respectively. ε > 0 is the heat conductivity coefficient and e2 : = (0, 1) t . μ is a chemical potential and is the double well potential.
When ϕ = 0, (1.1), (1.2) and (1.3) is the well-known Boussinesq system. In [2] Zhou and Fan proved a regularity criterion for the 3D Boussinesq system with partial viscosity. Later, in [3] Zhou and Fan studied the Cauchy problem of certain Boussinesq-α equations in n dimensions with n = 2 or 3. We establish regularity for the solution under . Here denotes the homogeneous Besov space. Chae [4] studied the vanishing viscosity limit ε → 0 when Ω = ℝ2. The aim of this article is to prove a similar result. We will prove that
Theorem 1.1. Let , ϕ0 ∈ H4, div u0 = 0 in Ω and on∂Ω. Then, there exists a positive constant C independent of ε such that
for any T > 0, which implies
Here, (u, θ, ϕ) is the solution of the problem (1.1)-(1.7) with ε = 0.
2 Proof of Theorem 1.1
Since (1.9) follows easily from (1.8) by the Aubin-Lions compactness principle, we only need to prove the a priori estimates (1.8). From now on, we will drop the subscript ε and throughout this section C will be a constant independent of ε.
First, by the maximum principle, it follows from (1.2), (1.3), and (1.6) that
Testing (1.3) by θ, using (1.2) and (1.6), we see that
whence
Testing (1.1) and (1.4) by u and μ, respectively, using (1.2), (1.6), (2.1), and summing up the result, we find that
which gives
Testing (1.4) by ϕ, using (1.2), (1.5) and (1.6), we infer that
which leads to
We will use the following Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality:
It follows from (2.6), (2.7), (2.5), (2.3) and (1.5) that
which yields
Testing (1.4) by Δ2ϕ, using (1.5), (2.4), (2.3), (2.10) and (2.11), we derive
which implies
Testing (1.1) by -Δu + ∇π, using (1.2), (1.6), (2.12), (2.1) and (2.4), we reach
which yields
Here, we have used the Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities:
and the H2-theory of the Stokes system:
Similarly to (2.13), we have
(1.1), (1.2), (1.6) and (1.7) can be rewritten as
Using (2.12), (2.1), (2.13), and the regularity theory of Stokes system, we have
for any 2 < p < ∞.
(2.16) gives
It follows from (1.3) and (1.6) that
Applying Δ to (1.3), testing by Δθ, using (1.2), (1.6), (2.16), (2.17) and (2.18), we obtain
which implies
It follows from (1.3), (1.6), (2.19) and (2.13) that
Taking ∂ t to (1.4) and (1.5), testing by ∂ t ϕ, using (1.2), (1.6), (2.12), and (2.15), we have
which gives
By the regularity theory of elliptic equation, it follows from (1.4), (1.5), (1.6), (2.21), (2.13) and (2.12) that
Taking ∂ t to (1.1), testing by ∂ t u, using (1.2), (1.6), (2.17), (2.22), (2.21) and (1.5), we conclude that
which implies
Using (2.23), (2.22), (2.1), (2.13), (1.1), (1.2), (1.6) and the H2-theory of the Stokes system, we arrive at
This completes the proof.
