Abstract

The Rayleigh-Bénard convection is a classical problem in fluid dynamics. In this paper, we are concerned with the well-posedness for the compressible Rayleigh-Bénard convection in a bounded domain Ω ⊂ ℝ2. We prove the local well-posedness of the system with appropriate initial data. This is the result concerning compressible Rayleigh-Bénard convection, before only results about incompressible Rayleigh-Bénard convection were done.
