Abstract

We are concerned with an initial boundary value problem of two-dimensional nonhomogeneous heat conducting Navier–Stokes equations in bounded domains. Applying delicate energy estimates and Desjardins’ interpolation inequality, we derive the global existence and uniqueness of strong solutions. Furthermore, we also show large-time decay rates of the solution. Note that the initial data can be arbitrarily large and the initial density allows vacuum states.
