Abstract
In this paper, we consider the classical solutions to a model of two-dimensional incompressible inviscid Boussinesq–Bénard equations. Notice that, in the case when the source term of temperature equation in this model is the second component of velocity \(u_2\) or no source term, there is no global-in-time existence result for the general initial data. Here, if the source term is only chosen as \(\Delta u_2\), then we can obtain the global well-posedness, inviscid limit and some exponential decay estimates. Our key observation is the nice symmetrical structure hidden in the corresponding system, which plays an extremely important role in the global well-posedness studied here.
