Stability of time-dependent Navier-Stokes flow and algebraic energy decay

Let $V$ be a given time-dependent Navier-Stokes flow of an incompressible viscous fluid in the whole space ($n=3,4$). Assume such $V$ to be small in $L^\infty(0,\infty; L^{n,\infty})$, where $L^{n,\infty}$ denotes the weak-$L^n$ space. The energy stability of this basic flow $V$ with respect to any initial disturbance in $L^2_σ$ has been established by Karch, Pilarczyk and Schonbek. In this paper we study, under reasonable conditions, the algebraic rates of energy decay of disturbances as $t\to\infty$.

Large time decay and growth for solutions of a viscous Boussinesq system

In this paper we analyze the decay and the growth for large time of weak and strong solutions to the three-dimensional viscous Boussinesq system. We show that generic solutions blow up as $t\to\infty$ in the sense that the energy and the $L^p$-norms of the velocity field grow to infinity for large time, for $1\le p<3$. In the case of strong solutions we provide sharp estimates both from above and from below and explicit asymptotic profiles. We also show that solutions arising from $(u_0,θ_0)$ with zero-mean for the initial temperature $θ_0$ have a special behavior as $|x|$ or $t$ tends to infinity: contrarily to the generic case, their energy dissipates to zero for large time.
