Abstract

In this paper, we study the zero dissipation limit of the initial boundary-value problem of the multi-dimensional Boussinesq equations with viscosity and heat conductivity. Such equations are used as models for the motion of multi-dimensional incompressible fluids in atmospheric and oceanographic turbulence. In particular, they describe the thermal convection of an incompressible flow, and constitute the relations between the velocity field, the pressure and the local temperature. Under the Navier slip boundary condition in the velocity field and the thermal isolation boundary condition for the temperature, we prove the existence of weak amplitude characteristic boundary layers. Then, by a standard energy method, we prove the L2 convergence of the solutions when both the viscosity and the heat conductivity coefficients tend to 0.
