Weak solution of the merged mathematical equations of the polluted atmosphere

Abstract

Considered as a geophysical fluid, the polluted atmosphere shares the shallow domain characteristics with other natural large-scale fluids such as seas and oceans. This means that its domain is excessively greater horizontally than in the vertical dimension, leading to the classic hydrostatic approximation of the Navier-Stokes equations. The authors of the \cite{azerad2001mathematical} article have proved a convergence theorem for this model with respect to the ocean, without considering pollution effects. The novelty of this present work is to provide a generalisation of their result translated to the atmosphere, extending the fluid velocity equations with an additional convection-diffusion equation representing pollutants in the atmosphere
