Global persistence of geometrical structures for the boussinesq equation with no diffusion

Abstract

Here we investigate the so-called temperature patch problem for the incompressible Boussinesq system with partial viscosity, in the whole space RN\mathbb{R}^N (N2)(N \geq 2), where the initial temperature is the characteristic function of some simply connected domain with C1,εC^{1, \varepsilon} H{\"o}lder regularity. Although recent results in [1, 15] ensure that an initially C1C^1 patch persists through the evolution, whether higher regularity is preserved has remained an open question. In the present paper, we give a positive answer to that issue globally in time, in the 2-D case for large initial data and in the higher dimension case for small initial data.
