Abstract

In this paper, we consider the Boussinesq equations with magnetohydrodynamics convection in the domain T×R\mathbb{T} \times \mathbb{R} and establishes the nonlinear stability of the Couette flow (ush=(y,0),bsh=(1,0),psh=0,θsh=0(\mathbf{u}_{sh} = (y,0), \mathbf{b}_{sh} = (1,0), p_{sh} = 0, \theta_{sh} = 0). The novelty in this paper is that we design a new Fourier multiplier operator by using the properties of the enhanced dissipation to overcome the difficult term xy(Δ)1j\partial_{xy}(-\Delta)^{-1}j in the linearized and nonlinear system. Then, we prove the asymptotic stability for the linearized system. Finally, we establish the nonlinear stability for the full system by bootstrap principle.
