RIGOROUS DERIVATION OF THE XZ SEMIGEOSTROPHIC ∗ EQUATIONS † ‡ YANN BRENIER AND MIKE CULLEN

Abstract.We prove that smooth solutions of the semigeostrophic equations in the incompress iblex−zsetting can be derived from the NavierStokes equations with the Boussinesq approximation.

1. Introduction We consider the NavierStokes equations with the Boussinesq approximation (NSB): ǫ(∂ t v+ (v∙ ∇)v) +αKv+∇p=y,∇ ∙v= 0,(1.1)

∂ t y+ (v∙ ∇)y=G(x, y),(1.2) d d wherex∈D,Dbeing a smooth bounded domain inR(d= 2,3),v=v(t, x)∈Ris the d velocity field,p=p(t, x) is the pressure field,y=y(t, x)∈Ris a vectorvalued forcing d d term,G(x, y) is a given smooth vectorvalued source termD×R→R,ǫ, α >0 are scaling factors andKis the linear dissipative operatorKv=−Δv. Weassume that the fluid sticks to the boundary:v= 0along∂D. We now consider the formal limit of these equations obtained by dropping the inertia term and the dissipative term (i.e.settingε=α= 0)in the NSB equations. ∇p=y,∇ ∙v= 0, v//∂D,(1.3)
