Artifact ↗Finite-time blowup for the inviscid Boussinesq system with smooth forcing
Yes. Blowup for the inviscid Boussinesq system on with forces in in both equations, supported in one fixed spatial ball, from smooth compactly supported initial temperature and zero initial velocity. The temperature stays bounded while and the vorticity norm has infinite limsup as . The solution is smooth on every closed interval before blowup and unique in a finite-energy Lipschitz class. This lifts the force from barely to fully smooth, and is the construction the Euler paper then builds on. Not the Clay Millennium problem: that problem is Navier-Stokes with viscosity, and Fefferman's official description states that the Euler equation "is not on the Clay Institute's list of prize problems".
