Abstract

In this paper, we are concerned with the tridimensional anisotropic Boussinesq equations which can be described by {equation*} {{array}{ll} (\partial_{t}+u\cdot\nabla)u-\kappa\Delta_{h} u+\nabla \Pi=\rho e_{3},\quad(t,x)\in\mathbb{R}^{+}\times\mathbb{R}^{3}, (\partial_{t}+u\cdot\nabla)\rho=0, \text{div}u=0. {array}. {equation*} Under the assumption that the support of the axisymmetric initial data ρ0(r,z)\rho_{0}(r,z) does not intersect the axis (Oz)(Oz), we prove the global well-posedness for this system with axisymmetric initial data. We first show the growth of the quantity ρr\frac\rho r for large time by taking advantage of characteristic of transport equation. This growing property together with the horizontal smoothing effect enables us to establish H1H^1-estimate of the velocity via the L2L^2-energy estimate of velocity and the Maximum principle of density. Based on this, we further establish the estimate for the quantity ω(t)L:=sup2p<\normω(t)Lp(R3)p<\|\omega(t)\|_{\sqrt{\mathbb{L}}}:=\sup_{2\leq p<\infty}\frac{\norm{\omega(t)}_{L^p(\mathbb{R}^3)}}{\sqrt{p}}<\infty which implies u(t)L3/2:=sup2p<\normu(t)Lp(R3)pp<\|\nabla u(t)\|_{\mathbb{L}^{3/2}}:=\sup_{2\leq p<\infty}\frac{\norm{\nabla u(t)}_{L^p(\mathbb{R}^3)}}{p\sqrt{p}}<\infty. However, this regularity for the flow admits forbidden singularity since L \mathbb{L} (see \eqref{eq-kl} for the definition) seems be the minimum space for the gradient vector field u(x,t)u(x,t) ensuring uniqueness of flow. To bridge this gap, we exploit the space-time estimate about sup2p<0tu(τ)Lp(R3)pdτ< \sup_{2\leq p<\infty}\int_0^t\frac{\|\nabla u(\tau)\|_{L^p(\mathbb{R}^3)}}{\sqrt{p}}\mathrm{d}\tau<\infty by making good use of the horizontal smoothing effect and micro-local techniques. The global well-posedness for the large initial data is achieved by establishing a new type space-time logarithmic inequality.
