On the derivation of homogeneous hydrostatic equations
In this paper we study the derivation of homogeneous hydrostatic equations starting from 2D Euler equations, following for instance [2,9]. We give a convergence result for convex profiles and a divergence result for a particular inflexion profile.
Numerical boundary layers for hyperbolic systems in 1-D
The aim of this paper is to investigate the stability of boundary layers which appear in numerical solutions of hyperbolic systems of conservation laws in one space dimension on regular meshes. We prove stability under a size condition for Lax Friedrichs type schemes and inconditionnal stability in the scalar case. Examples of unstable boundary layers are also given.
A zoology of boundary layers.
In meteorology and magnetohydrodynamics many different boundary layers appear. Some of them are already mathematically well known, like Ekman or Hartmann layers. Others remain unstudied, and can be much more complex. The aim of this paper is to give a simple and unified presentation of the main boundary layers, and to propose a simple method to derive their sizes and equations.

Ekman boundary layers in rotating fluids
In this paper, we investigate the problem of fast rotating fluids between two infinite plates with Dirichlet boundary conditions and “turbulent viscosity” for general initial data. We use dispersive effect to prove strong convergence to the solution of the bimensionnal Navier-Stokes equations modified by the Ekman pumping term.
Boundary layers and time oscillations in rotating fluids
On the spectral instability of parallel shear flows
This short note is to announce our recent results [2,3] which provide a complete mathematical proof of the viscous destabilization phenomenon, pointed out by Heisenberg (1924), C.C. Lin and Tollmien (1940s), among other prominent physicists. Precisely, we construct growing modes of the linearized Navier-Stokes equations about general stationary shear flows in a bounded channel (channel flows) or on a half-space (boundary layers), for sufficiently large Reynolds number . Such an instability is linked...

Oscillatory limits with varying spectrum
High time frequency oscillations occur in many different physical cases: slightly compressible fluids, almost quasineutral plasmas, small electron mass approximation .... In many case, small parameters arise in fluids mechanics or plasma physics, leading to these oscillations as the small parameter goes to zero. The aim of this note is to detail how to obtain formal expansions and to give some indications on how to justify them.
Fluids with anisotropic viscosity
Motivated by rotating fluids, we study incompressible fluids with anisotropic viscosity. We use anisotropic spaces that enable us to prove existence theorems for less regular initial data than usual. In the case of rotating fluids, in the whole space, we prove Strichartz-type anisotropic, dispersive estimates which allow us to prove global wellposedness for fast enough rotation.
