Global Existence and Large Time Asymptotic Behavior of Strong Solution to the Cauchy Problem of 2D Density-Dependent Boussinesq Equations of Korteweg Type ()
1. Introduction
In this paper, we consider the system for the nonhomogeneous incompressible Boussinesq equations of Korteweg type as follows
(1.1)
Among them, the free vector field of divergence
represents the velocity of the fluid; the scalar function
and
represent pressure of the fluid and temperature respectively; parameter
represents the viscosity coefficient dependent on temperature;
and
represent density and the capillary coefficient respectively; and the constant
represents the thermal diffusivity; f denote the external force.
The initial data is given by
(1.2)
Equation (1.1) governs the motions of the incompressible nonisothermal viscous capillary fluids. Assumed capillarity coefficient
, the system (1.1) can simplify to other incompressible equations. Recently, the incompressible equations with density
have led scholars to do much research, which gets important results in different academic fields. The study of the system (1.1) with
and
is more concerned. Cannon and DiBenedetto proved the initial value problem of the Boussinesq equation for incompressible fluid affected by convective heat transfer (see [1] ). Furthermore, they improved the regularity of the solution when the initial data are smooth. In addition, few scholars further studied the cases of “partial viscosity” (i.e. either the zero diffusivity case,
and
, or the zero viscosity case,
and
). Hou and Li [2] demonstrated the global well-posedness of the Cauchy problem of viscous Boussinesq equations. Chae [3] considered the Boussinesq system for incompressible fluid in
with either zero diffusion (
) or zero viscosity (
). He proved global-in-time regularity in both cases. In addition, the singularity problem of Equation (1.1) is still an unsolved problem in mathematical fluid mechanics. Under the generalized Boussinesq equation approximation, by giving the viscosity and thermal conductivity related to temperature, Lorca [4] and Boldrini [5] showed the initial value problem of viscous incompressible systems. In some recent studies, the density-dependent viscous incompressible Boussinesq system caused wide attention. Qiu and Yao [6] get the local well-posedness for the density-dependent Boussinesq Equation (1.1) and consider the regularity problem of the smooth solutions for this equation in Besov spaces. The paper [7] considers the stability and zero dissipation limit of the boundary problem of the multidimensional Boussinesq system. But, when the initial conditions include a vacuum situation, there are little relevant researches. For Equation (1.1) we propose the relationship between velocity field, fluid temperature and pressure so as to solve the difficulties caused by vacuum.
If the thermal diffusivity
, the system (1.1) is referred to as Korteweg model. Research on the compressible Navier-Stokes-Korteweg fluid model has been developed. For small initial data, [8] [9] provided the existence problems of the global strong solutions for Korteweg system in Besov space. And the global existence of weak solutions in the whole space
was obtained by Danchin-Desjardins [10] and Haspot [11]. For large initial data, Bresch-Desjardins-Lin [12] analyzed the Korteweg-type compressible fluid model with density-dependent capillary coefficient, and obtained existence results. Recently, Germain-LeFloch [13] studied the existence, convergence and compactness of the compressible Navier-Stokes-Korteweg model. And both the vacuum and nonvacuum weak solutions were obtained. Moreover, Chen-He-Zhao [14] discussed the construction of smooth solutions to the Cauchy problem of the fluid models of Korteweg type, and the global solvability results are acquired if the
,
and
satisfy certain conditions (see also [14] [15] ). Assuming that the influence of temperature is not considered, the Equation (1.1) can be simplified into a general incompressible Korteweg model, then liu-wang-zheng [16] studied the strong solution of Cauchy problem in this model. Up to now, when the Korteweg term is introduced into Boussinesq equation, this kind of problem is still unknown. For this problem, we have to consider the difficulty of Korteweg term
. More importantly, the particularity of vacuum state should also be considered. These are also the core issues of this article.
Our purpose is to study the Cauchy problem for the strong solutions of Equations ((1.1), (1.2)). For convenience, we can set
. Since
(1.3)
classifying the term
as the pressure term, we can deform the equation as
(1.4)
Now, we explain the estimation of the complex term in this model. It is worth noting that when the initial data meets (1.7), the uniqueness and existence result of the strong solution of (1.1)-(1.2) Cauchy problem has been discussed in [17]. In order to extend the local situation to large-time, we need not only lower order estimate on strong solution of (1.1)-(1.2), but also a priori estimates with higher norm. In this article, the estimate of terms
,
and
requires us to use some special ideas. We follow the ideas of Lü-Shi-Zhong [18] studying the incompressible N-S equation and Lü-Xu-Zhong [17] studying the compressible MHD equation. First, we attempt to estimate on the
-norm of
and
. Using the key technique of [19] [20] [21], we multiplied
and abandoned the normal
(see [20] ). More importantly, motivated by [22] [23], the term
was controlled by the basic theories of Hardy and BMO in the second section, which have the term
(see (3.13)). Next, we use the Stokes system (3.18) to get the
and
(see (3.19)), the key point is to use Gagliardo-Nirenberg
inequality to estimate the value of
. Multiplying (1.1)3 by
can control the strong coupled term
after integration by parts (see (3.16)). And, considered [17] [24] [25] [26], we apply
to
and multiply the resultant equality by
to attain the
-norm of
and the
-norm of
(see (3.31)), then together with (3.44) to attain
. Based on the above treatment of the special term, one can complete the higher order estimates of the solution
. Finally, motivated by [17], our new observation of this paper is to obtain the
-norm of
and
(see (3.76)), which are critical to constraint the
-norm of both
and
and the
-norm of
, see Lemma 3.8.
Now we will explain the symbols and conventions applied in this article. For

Meanwhile, for
and
, the standard Lebesgue and Sobolve spaces have the following forms:
Next, we show the definition of strong solution to system (1.1) as follows:
Definition 1.1. Assumed the whole derivatives related to system for

, then
is considered a strong solution to (1.1).
Moreover, it can be assumed that the initial density
satisfies
(1.5)
which implies that exists a positive constant
such that
(1.6)
The main conclusions of this paper are given as follows:
Theorem 1.2. Besides (1.5) and (1.6), if the initial data

. Then the problem (1.1)-(1.2) has a unique global strong solution
satisfying that for any

(1.10)
and
(1.11)
for positive constant
depending only
,
,
and T. In addition, the
has the following decay rates, that is for
,
(1.12)
where C depends only on
,
,
,
,
, and
.
Remark 1.3. If there is no influence of fluid temperature, i.e.,
, then (1.1) reduces to the fluid of Korteweg type, Theorem 1.2 extends the results of Liu and Wang [27] to the Cauchy problem of global solutions in two-dimensional space. When the initial data is large, there is no other compatibility conditions are considered for the global existence of the strong solutions.
The following sections of the article are introduced as follows: first, in Section 2, we give some basic facts and important inequalities, which can be applied in the calculations below. Next, in Section 3, we will give the priori estimates. In Section 4, we will attain the important result of this paper, Theorem 1.2, based on the previous.

, and (2.6) yields
(3.12)
Equation (3.11) combined with Equation (3.12) and Equation (2.8) gives
(3.13)
Integration by parts together with (1.4), (3.4), (3.8), and Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality gives
(3.14)
Next, substituting (3.10), (3.13) and (3.14) into (3.9) gives
(3.15)
Then, multiplying (1.1) by
and integrating the resulting equality by parts over

(3.16)
which combined with (3.15) and (3.8) gives
(3.17)
Since

(3.18)
Applying the standard
-estimate to (3.18) (see [31] ) yields that for any

(3.19)
Moreover, since
,
,
are all bounded in
, an application of the Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality results in
(3.20)
substituting (3.20) into (3.19), we get
(3.21)
This combined with (3.17) and (3.19) gives
(3.22)
where
is to be determined. Choosing
, it follows from (3.22) that
(3.23)
which together with (3.8), (3.22) and Gronwall’s inequality gives (3.2). Then, multiplying (3.22) by t, we have
(3.24)

(3.26)
It follows from (1.1) that
(3.27)
where in the last inequality one has used (3.1) and (3.8). Integrating (3.27) and choosing
, we obtain after using (1.6) that
(3.28)
Hence, it follows from (3.28), (3.1), (2.2), (3.8) and (3.2) that for any
and any
,
(3.29)
Multiplying (1.1) by
and integrating the resulting equality by parts over
yield that

Next, multiplying (3.33) by
, together with integration by parts and (1.1), we get

Following the same argument as ( [21], Lemma 3.3) we have the estimates of
as
(3.35)
which combined (1.3), (3.4) and the Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality leads to
(3.36)
Substituting (3.35) and (3.36) into (3.34) and together with (3.2) gives
(3.37)
where
satisfies
(3.38)
Due to (3.13) and (3.21), for the right-hand side of (3.37), it follows from (3.13), (3.21), (3.1) and Sobolev’s inequality that
(3.39)
Substituting (3.38) and (3.39) into (3.37)
(3.40)
Next, we estimate
. First, the (3.25) combined (3.8) with (3.29) that for any
and
(3.41)
The (1.4) combined with (3.8), (3.41) and the Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality, we derive
(3.42)
which together with (3.41) and the compatibility condition (1.9) yields
(3.43)
o
Finally, Multiplying (3.40) by
and using (3.43), it deduces from Gronwalls inequality and (3.8) to lead to (3.31). The (3.32) is a direct result of (3.31) and (3.21). The proof of Lemma 3.4 is finished.
Lemma 3.5. There exists a positive constant C depending on T such that
(3.44)
Proof. First, it follows from the mass Equation (1.1) that
satisfies for any
,
(3.45)
Next, employing Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality, using (3.2) and (3.19), we have
,
(3.46)
It follows from (3.28), (3.1), (2.2) and (3.25) that for any
,
(3.47)
which together with the Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality shows that
(3.48)
which is deformed and calculated appropriately leads to
(3.49)
(3.50)
Then, the (3.49) along with (3.46) in particular implies
(3.51)
Next, applying Gronwall’s inequality to (3.45) gives
(3.52)
Setting

, we obtain after using (3.1), (3.2) and (3.3) that
(3.53)
Similarly, setting
in (3.19) and integrating the resulting equality over
, we deduce from using (3.49), (3.1), (3.2) and (3.3) that
(3.54)
Multiplying (3.19) by t and integrating the resulting equality over
, it can obtain after using (3.50), (3.1), (3.2) and (3.3) that
(3.55)
Furthermore, it is easy to deduce from (3.53), (3.54) and (3.55) that
(3.56)
this together with (3.1) and (3.52) yields (3.44), which completes the proof of Lemma 3.5.o

and integrating the resulting equality by parts over
, we obtain that
(3.60)
where in the last and the second inequalities, we has applied (3.29) and (3.25), respectively. Choosing
(3.60), and applying Gronwall’s inequality together with (3.44) indicates that
(3.61)
Setting
in (3.60), we deduce from (3.44) and (3.61) that
(3.62)
Next, taking the
-derivative again on both side of the (3.59) gives
(3.63)
Similarly, for any

and integrating the resulting equality by parts over
, we can find that
(3.64)
Using (3.64) for Gronwall’s inequality, and according to (3.25), (3.44) and (3.61), we gain the desired estimate (3.57). It completes the proof of the Lemma 3.6. o
Lemma 3.7. There exists a positive constant C such that

(3.69)
Substituting (3.68), (3.69) into (3.67), we get
(3.70)
Using (3.70) for Gronwall’s inequality, we obtain (3.65).
Next, we estimate the (3.66). Multiplying (1.1)3 by

into (3.71), one has
(3.75)
Multiplying (3.75) by t, and together with (3.65) and (3.44), then employing Gronwall’s inequlity, one obtains the (3.66). This completes the Lemma 3.7.o
Lemma 3.8. There exists a positive constant C such that
(3.76)
Proof. First, it is easy to deduce from (3.47), (3.29) that for any

Then, due to (2.1) and (3.77), combining (2.1), (3.2) with (1.1)
(3.81)
where in the last inequality one has used the follow facts
(3.82)
On the basis of (3.77) and (2.1), (3.79) can be derived by the combination of (3.80), (3.81), (3.44) and (3.65).
Next, differentiating (1.1)2 with respect to t shows

(3.90)
Submitting the above
into (3.84) gives
(3.91)
Then, we multiply (3.91) by t, and together with Gronwall’s inequality and (3.44) lead to
(3.92)
Next, differentiating (1.1) with respect to t shows
(3.93)
Now, multiplying (3.93) by
and integrating the resulting equality by parts on

4. Proof of Theorem 1.2
In this Section, by the prior estimation in the previous chapter of Lemmas 3.1-3.8, we can complete the proof of Theorem 1.2.
Proof. On the basis of Lemmas 3.1-3.8, through previous result of local existence, there has a

which satisfies the initial condition (1.6) at
. Thus, taking
as the initial data, since the existence and uniqueness of local strong solutions implies that there exists some
, such that Theorem 1.2 satisfy
. This contradicts the supposition of
in (4.1), so the (4.4) holds. Therefore, the existence and uniqueness of local strong solutions and Lemmas 3.1-3.8 show that
is in fact the unique strong solution on
for any
. The above can prove Theorem 1.2.o
5. Conclusions
For the general incompressible Navier-Stokes flow equation, there is no external force action, we can under the low estimate to a prior estimate of velocity and pressure. In this article, we study the two-dimensional incompressible Boussinesq the equations of Korteweg type model, and fluid temperature contains not only depends on the density of viscous coefficient, and influenced by external forces.
On the one hand, we should overcome the trouble of unbounded region when making the estimation, and carefully consider the special terms
and
. At the same time, we should also consider the difficulties caused by the strong coupling between the velocity and temperature of the fluid. For example,
, for such difficult terms, we should carry out ingenious structural analysis and strict calculation and derivation.
On the other hand, the Korteweg fluid model contains high order derivative terms of density, and the system we consider is in the case of large initial values, which makes it difficult to prove the global existence of strong solutions. In order to prove the global existence of the strong solution, we introduce the derivative of the random body and the auxiliary energy estimation of the fundamental inequality.
