The primitive equations as the small aspect ratio limit of the Navier–Stokes equations: rigorous justification of the hydrostatic approximation

J Li, ES Titi - Journal de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées, 2019 - Elsevier
An important feature of the planetary oceanic dynamics is that the aspect ratio (the ratio of
the depth to horizontal width) is very small. As a result, the hydrostatic approximation …

Finite-time blowup for the inviscid primitive equations of oceanic and atmospheric dynamics

C Cao, S Ibrahim, K Nakanishi, ES Titi - Communications in Mathematical …, 2015 - Springer
In an earlier work we have shown the global (for all initial data and all time) well-posedness
of strong solutions to the three-dimensional viscous primitive equations of large scale …

Strong solutions to the 3D primitive equations with only horizontal dissipation: near H1 initial data

Global well-posedness of the 2D Boussinesq equations with vertical dissipation

J Li, ES Titi - Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis, 2016 - Springer
We prove the global well-posedness of the two-dimensional Boussinesq equations with only
vertical dissipation. The initial data (u_0,\theta_0)(u 0, θ 0) are required to be only in the …

with only horizontal eddy viscosities in the horizontal momentum equations and only vertical …

Well-posedness of the hydrostatic Navier–Stokes equations

D Gerard-Varet, N Masmoudi, V Vicol - Analysis & PDE, 2020 - msp.org
We address the local well-posedness of the hydrostatic Navier–Stokes equations. These
equations, sometimes called reduced Navier–Stokes/Prandtl, appear as a formal limit of the …

Continuous data assimilation for the 3D primitive equations of the ocean

Y Pei - arXiv preprint arXiv:1805.06007, 2018 - arxiv.org
In this article, we show that the continuous data assimilation algorithm is valid for the 3D
primitive equations of the ocean. Namely, the $ L^ 2$ norm of the assimilated solution …
