Blow-up criterion for 2-D Boussinesq equations in bounded domain

We extend the results for 2-D Boussinesq equations from ℝ² to a bounded domain Ω. First, as for the existence of weak solutions, we transform Boussinesq equations to a nonlinear evolution equation U _t + A(t, U) = 0. In stead of using the methods of fundamental solutions in the case of entire ℝ², we study the qualities of F(u, υ) = (u · ▽)υ to get some useful estimates for A(t, U), which helps us to conclude the local-in-time existence and uniqueness of solutions. Second, as for blow-up criterions, we use energy methods, Sobolev inequalities and Gronwall inequality to control and by and . Furthermore, can control by using vorticity transportation equations. At last, can control . Thus, we can find a blow-up criterion in the form of .
