Fast singular oscillating limits and global regularity for the 3D primitive equations of geophysics
Fast singular oscillating limits of the three-dimensional "primitive" equations of geophysical fluid flows are analyzed. We prove existence on infinite time intervals of regular solutions to the 3D "primitive" Navier-Stokes equations for strong stratification (large stratification parameter N). This uniform existence is proven for periodic or stress-free boundary conditions for all domain aspect ratios, including the case of three wave resonances which yield nonlinear " dimensional" limit equations...
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.
