Strange attractors for Overbeck -Boussinesq model

Abstract

In this paper, we consider dynamics defined by the Navier-Stokes equations in the Oberbeck-Boussinesq approximation in a two dimensional domain. This model of fluid dynamics involve fundamental physical effects: convection, and diffusion. The main result is as follows: local semiflows, induced by this problem, can generate all possible structurally stable dynamics defined by C 1 smooth vector fields on compact smooth manifolds (up to an orbital topological equivalency). To generate a prescribed dynamics, it is sufficient to adjust some parameters in the equations, namely, the viscosity coefficient, an external heat source, some parameters in boundary conditions and the small perturbation of the gravitational force.
