Abstract

In this paper, we study the 3D regularized Boussinesq equations. The velocity equation is regularized \`a la Leray through a smoothing kernel of order α\alpha in the nonlinear term and a β\beta-fractional Laplacian; we consider the critical case α+β=54\alpha+\beta=\frac{5}{4} and we assume 12<β<54\frac 12 <\beta<\frac 54. The temperature equation is a pure transport equation, where the transport velocity is regularized through the same smoothing kernel of order α\alpha. We prove global well posedness when the initial velocity is in HrH^r and the initial temperature is in HrβH^{r-\beta} for r>max(2β,β+1)r>\max(2\beta,\beta+1). This regularity is enough to prove uniqueness of solutions. We also prove a continuous dependence of the solutions on the initial conditions.
