Abstract

We investigate the thermal instability of a three-dimensional Rayleigh–Bénard (RB for short) problem without thermal diffusion in a bounded domain. First we construct unstable solutions in exponential growth modes for the linear RB problem. Then we derive energy estimates for the nonlinear solutions by a method of a prior energy estimates, and establish a Gronwall-type energy inequality for the nonlinear solutions. Finally, we estimate for the error of $L^1$-norm between the both solutions of the linear and nonlinear problems, and prove the existence of escape times of nonlinear solutions. Thus we get the instability of nonlinear solutions under $L^1$-norm.
