Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the nonlinear stability and transition threshold for the 3D Boussinesq system in Sobolev space under the high Reynolds number and small thermal diffusion in T×R×T\mathbb{T}\times\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{T} . It is proved that if the initial velocity vinv_{\rm in} and the initial temperature θin \theta_{\rm in} satisfy vin(y,0,0)H2εν,θinH2εν2 \|v_{\rm in}-(y,0,0)\|_{H^{2}}\leq \varepsilon\nu, \|\theta_{\rm in}\|_{H^{2}}\leq \varepsilon\nu^{2} , respectively for some ε>0 \varepsilon>0 independent of the Reynolds number or thermal diffusion, then the solutions of 3D Boussinesq system are global in time.
