Hölder continuous weak solutions of the 3D Boussinesq equation with thermal diffusion

Abstract

In this paper, we show the existence of Hölder continuous periodic weak solutions of the 3D Boussinesq equation with thermal diffusion, which apprroximate the Onsager's critical spatial regularity and satisfy the prescribed kinetic energy. More precisely, for any smooth $e(t):[0,T]\to {\mathbb{R}}_{+}$ and $\beta \in (0,\frac{1}{3})$, there exist $v\in C^{\beta }([0,T]\times {\mathbb{T}}^3)$ and $\theta \in C_t^{1,\frac{\beta }{2}}{C}_x^{2,\beta }([0,T]\times {\mathbb{T}}^3)$ which solve (\ref{e:boussinesq equation}) in the sense of distribution and satisfy \begin{align} e(t)=\int_{{{\mathbb{T} }^3}}|v(t,x)|^2dx, \quad \forall t\in [0,T].\nonumber \end{align}
