Existence and regularity results for the inviscid primitive equations with lateral periodicity

Abstract

The article is devoted to prove the existence and regularity of the solutions of the $3D$ inviscid Linearized Primitive Equations (LPEs) in a channel with lateral periodicity. This was assumed in a previous work \cite{HJT} which is concerned with the boundary layers generated by the corresponding viscous problem. Although the equations under investigation here are of hyperbolic type, the standard methods do not apply because of the specificity of the hyperbolic system. A set of \textit{non-local} boundary conditions for the inviscid LPEs has to be imposed at the top and bottom of the channel making thus the system well-posed.
