The Boussinesq approximation in rapidly rotating flows [PDF]
In commonly used formulations of the Boussinesq approximation centrifugal buoyancy effects related to differential rotation, as well as strong vortices in the flow, are neglected.

Adomian Decomposition and Successive Approximation Methods for Solving Kaup-Boussinesq System
The Kaup-Boussinesq system has been solved numerically by using two methods, Successive approximation method (SAM) and Adomian decomposition method (ADM).

Oscillatory convection and limitations of the Boussinesq approximation [PDF]
We determine the asymptotic conditions under which the Boussinesq approximation is valid for oscillatory convection in a rapidly rotating fluid. In the astrophysically relevant parameter regime of small Prandtl number, we show that the Boussinesq ...

Modelling of natural convection flows with large temperature differences : a benchmark problem for low Mach number solvers. Part 1, Reference solutions [PDF]
There are very few reference solutions in the literature on non-Boussinesq natural convection flows. We propose here a test case problem which extends the well-known De Vahl Davis differentially heated square cavity problem to the case of large ...

A numerical investigation of high-Reynolds-number constant-volume non-Boussinesq density currents in deep ambient [PDF]
The time-dependent behaviour of non-Boussinesq high-Reynolds-number density currents, released from a lock of height h0 and length x0 into a deep ambient and spreading over horizontal flat boundaries, is considered.

The Miles Theorem and New Particular Solutions to the Taylor--Goldstein Equation [PDF]
The linear stability problem of steady-state plane-parallel shear flows of a continuously stratified inviscid incompressible fluid in the gravity field between two immovable impermeable solid planes is studied in and without the Boussinesq approximation.

Solvability of the Boussinesq Approximation for Water Polymer Solutions
We consider nonlinear Boussinesq-type equations that model the heat transfer and steady viscous flows of weakly concentrated water solutions of polymers in a bounded three-dimensional domain with a heat source.

A Non-Hydrostatic Depth-Averaged Model for Hydraulically Steep Free-Surface Flows
This study describes the results of a numerical investigation aimed at developing and validating a non-hydrostatic depth-averaged model for flow problems where the horizontal length scales close to flow depth.
