Abstract

This paper is concerned with the large time decay rates of the two-dimensional (2D) micropolar equations with zero angular viscosity. Based on the generalized Fourier splitting methods and low frequency effect analysis, we firstly obtain the solutions decay as \(\Vert u\Vert _{L^2}+ \Vert \omega \Vert _{L^2}\le C(1+t)^{-\frac{1}{2}}\). Moreover, by exploring the new structure of the system, we obtain a new improved decay rates \(\Vert \omega \Vert _{L^2}+ \Vert \nabla u\Vert _{L^2}\le C(1+t)^{-1}\). Our methods here are also available to the time decay issue of the complex fluid flows with partial dissipation.
