contents We present novel self-similar finite-time blowup scenarios for the 1D Hou--Luo model. We numerically demonstrate that solutions that initially satisfy certain derivative degeneracy condition can develop asymptotically self-similar finite-time blowups with singular self-similar profiles that are unbounded at some point. Moreover, this blowup phenomenon exhibits a two-stage feature: the solution first undergoes a local $L^{\infty}$ blowup at some time $\tilde{T}$, then continues in the weak sense beyond $\tilde{T}$ and develops a local $L^p$ blowup at a later time $T>\tilde{T}$ for some $p>0$. A further numerical investigation indicates that both stages are asymptotically self-similar. Finally, we extend our numerical study to the 2D Boussinesq equations and discover similar self-similar finite-time blowups with singular profiles that also exhibit a two-stage feature.
