  • Neither natural nor laboratory laminar flows are perfectly steady. Instead, they are frequently highly unsteady, as illustrated by experimental studies on Bénard convection. In the paper, we investigate the transition threshold of the Boussinesq equations around a time-dependent monotone shear flow $(U(t,y),0)$ with a constant background temperature $a\in\mathbb{R}$. The analysis is performed in the finite channel $\mathbb{T}\times[0,1]$ with non-slip boundary condition. By means of the sharp resolvent estimates and space-time estimates, we establish that the Boussinesq system admits a globally stable solution around the monotone shear flow, provided that the initial perturbation satisfies $\|u^{\mathrm{in}}\|_{H^2}\leq cν^{\frac12}, \|\langle D_x\rangle θ^{\mathrm{in}}\|_{L^2} \leq cν^{\frac56}$. Moreover, we derive the enhanced dissipation estimate of the vorticity and inviscid damping estimate of the velocity.
