We first show the growth of the quantity $\\frac\\rho r$ for large time by taking advantage of characteristic of transport equation. This growing property together with the horizontal smoothing effect enables us to establish $H^1$-estimate of the velocity via the $L^2$-energy estimate of velocity and the Maximum principle of density. Based on this, we further establish the estimate for the quantity $\\|\\omega(t)\\|_{\\sqrt{\\mathbb{L}}}:=\\sup_{2\\leq p<\\infty}\\frac{\\norm{\\omega(t)}_{L^p(\\mathbb{R}^3)}}{\\sqrt{p}}<\\infty$ which implies $\\|\\nabla u(t)\\|_{\\mathbb{L}^{3/2}}:=\\sup_{2\\leq p<\\infty}\\frac{\\norm{\\nabla u(t)}_{L^p(\\mathbb{R}^3)}}{p\\sqrt{p}}<\\infty$. However, this regularity for the flow admits forbidden singularity since $ \\mathbb{L}$ (see \\eqref{eq-kl} for the definition) seems be the minimum space for the gradient vector field $u(x,t)$ ensuring uniqueness of flow. To bridge this gap, we exploit the space-time estimate about $ \\sup_{2\\leq p<\\infty}\\int_0^t\\frac{\\|\\nabla u(\\tau)\\|_{L^p(\\mathbb{R}^3)}}{\\sqrt{p}}\\mathrm{d}\\tau<\\infty$ by making good use of the horizontal smoothing effect and micro-local techniques. The global well-posedness for the large initial data is achieved by establishing a new type space-time logarithmic inequality.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-01-29T12:38:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35B33", "35Q35", "76D03", "76D05" ], "keywords": [ "axisymmetric boussinesq system", "global well-posedness", "horizontal viscosity", "axisymmetric initial data", "horizontal smoothing effect" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 32, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1212.4222M" } } }
