The global attractor of the 2D Boussinesq equations with fractional Laplacian in Subcritical case

We prove global well-posedness of strong solutions and existence of the global attractor for the 2D Boussinesq system in a periodic channel with fractional Laplacian in subcritical case. The analysis reveals a relation between the Laplacian exponent and the regularity of the spaces of velocity and temperature.
