Abstract

In this paper, we consider the stability threshold for the shear flows of the Boussinesq system in a domain T×R\mathbb{T} \times \mathbb{R}. The main goal is to prove the nonlinear stability of the shear flow (US,ΘS)=((eνtyyU(y),0),αy)(U^S,\Theta^S)=((e^{\nu t\partial_{yy}}U(y),0)^{\top},\alpha y) with U(y)U(y) close to yy and α0\alpha\geq0. We separate two cases: one is α0\alpha\geq 0 small scaling with the viscosity coefficients and the case without smallness of α\alpha and fixed heat diffusion coefficient. The novelty here is that we don't require μ=ν\mu=\nu and only need to assume that μ\mu is scaled with ν\nu or fixed, where μ\mu is the inverse of the Reynolds number and ν\nu is the heat diffusion coefficient.
