RT Journal Article T1 Local strong solutions of a parabolic system related tothe Boussinesq approximation for buoyancy-driven flowwith viscous heating A1 Díaz Díaz, Jesús Ildefonso A1 Rakotoson, J.M. A1 Schmidt, P.G. AB We propose a modification of the classical Navier-Stokes-Boussinesq system of equations, which governs buoyancy-driven flows of viscous, incompressible fluids. This modification is motivated by unresolved issues regarding the global solvability of the classical system in situations where viscous heating cannot be neglected. A simple model problem leads to a coupled system of two parabolic equations with a source term involving the square of the gradient of one of the unknowns. In the present paper, we establish the local-in-time existence and uniqueness of strong solutions for the model problem. The full system of equations and the global-in-time existence of weak solutions will be addressed in forthcoming work.
