Abstract
We prove global existence and exponential decay of solutions for a system which arise in thermal convection flow. For sufficiently small initial data, these results improve previous ones in (Funkcial. Ekvac. 34 (1991) 449). Further, we investigate the behavior of solutions for arbitrarily large initial data. In particular, we show that the length of the interval on which we have existence and exponential decay is inverse proportional to the size of the initial data.
