Derivation of a bilayer model for shallow water equations with viscosity. Numerical validation
In this work we present a new two-dimensional bilayer Shallow-Water model including viscosity and friction effects on the bottom and interface level. It is obtained following [[6]] from an asymptotic analysis of non-dimensional and incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with hydrostatic approximation. In order to obtain the viscosity effects into the model we must have into account a second order approximation. To evaluate this model we perform two numerical tests consisting of an internal dam-break problem for both, one and two dimensional cases. In the first one we make a comparison between the model obtained and the NavierStokes simulation
Recent Advances Concerning Certain Class of Geophysical Flows
This paper is devoted to reviewing several recent developments concerning
certain class of geophysical models, including the primitive equations (PEs) of
atmospheric and oceanic dynamics and a tropical atmosphere model. The PEs for
large-scale oceanic and atmospheric dynamics are derived from the Navier-Stokes
equations coupled to the heat convection by adopting the Boussinesq and
hydrostatic approximations, while the tropical atmosphere model considered here
is a nonlinear interaction system between the barotropic mode and the first
baroclinic mode of the tropical atmosphere with moisture.
We are mainly concerned with the global well-posedness of strong solutions to
these systems, with full or partial viscosity, as well as certain singular
perturbation small parameter limits related to these systems, including the
small aspect ratio limit from the Navier-Stokes equations to the PEs, and a
small relaxation-parameter in the tropical atmosphere model. These limits
provide a rigorous justification to the hydrostatic balance in the PEs, and to
the relaxation limit of the tropical atmosphere model, respectively. Some
conditional uniqueness of weak solutions, and the global well-posedness of weak
solutions with certain class of discontinuous initial data, to the PEs are also
presented.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1507.0523
On the hydrostatic approximation of the Navier-Stokes equations in a thin strip
In this paper, we first prove the global well-posedness of a scaled
anisotropic Navier-Stokes system and the hydrostatic Navier-Stokes system in a
2-D striped domain with small analytic data in the tangential variable. Then we
justify the limit from the anisotropic Navier-Stokes system to the hydrostatic
Navier-Stokes system with analytic data
