Global solutions to the Boussinesq equations and the planetary geostrophic approximation
Ryan Budahazy, Xin Liu
Abstract
We investigate the three dimensional Boussinesq equations in the planetary geostrophic scale, where the buoyancy/gravity driven flow is near geostrophic balance in the large horizontal spatial scale. By establishing the uniform (with respect to the characteristic number) estimates, we are able to obtain the global weak solutions and the unique global strong solutions to the Boussinesq equations without restriction on the initial data. Furthermore, sending the characteristic number to zero with the established compactness rigorously justifies the planetary geostrophic approximation of the Boussinesq equations. We employ the novel buoyancy flow-free flow decomposition to overcome the singularity caused by the buoyancy/gravity.
