Abstract

We investigate the stability of a specific stationary solution to Boussinesq equations without thermal conduction in the flat strip \(\Omega = \mathbb {T}\times (0,1)\). Explicit decay rates of the vorticity/velocity are given as well as the limit state of the temperature. Our method is based on time-weighted energy estimates.
