Abstract In this paper we give a simple proof of the existence of global-in-time smooth solutions for the convective Brinkman–Forchheimer equations (also called in the literature the tamed Navier–Stokes equations) ∂ t u − μ Δ u + ( u ⋅ ∇ ) u + ∇ p + α u + β | u | r − 1 u = 0 on a 3D periodic domain, for values of the absorption exponent r larger than 3. Furthermore, we prove that global, regular solutions exist also for the critical value of exponent r = 3 , provided that the coefficients satisfy the relation 4 μ β ≥ 1 . Additionally, we show that in the critical case every weak solution verifies the energy equality and hence is continuous into the phase space L 2 . As an application of this result we prove the existence of a strong global attractor, using the theory of evolutionary systems developed by Cheskidov.
