Convergence of the rotating fluids system in a domain with rough boundaries

David Gérard-Varet (2003)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

Similarity:

We consider a rotating fluid in a domain with rough horizontal boundaries. The Rossby number, kinematic viscosity and roughness are supposed of characteristic size ϵ . We prove a convergence theorem on solutions of Navier-Stokes Coriolis equations, as ϵ goes to zero, in the well prepared case. We show in particular that the limit system is a two-dimensional Euler equation with a nonlinear damping term due to boundary layers. We thus generalize the results obtained on flat boundaries with...

Non-parallel plane Rayleigh Benard convection in cylindrical geometry

A. Golbabai (1995)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

This paper considers the effect of a perturbed wall in regard to the classical Benard convection problem in which the lower rigid surface is of the form z = ε 2 g ( s ) , s=ε r, in axisymmetric cylindrical polar coordinates (r,ϕ,z). The boundary conditions at s=0 for the linear amplitude equation are found and it is shown that these conditions are different from those which apply to the nonlinear problem investigated by Brown and Stewartson [1], representing the distribution of convection cells near...
