Rayleigh-Benard stability and the validity of quasi-Boussinesq or quasi-anelastic liquid approximations [PDF]
The linear stability threshold of the Rayleigh-Benard configuration is analyzed with compressible effects taken into account. It is assumed that the fluid obeys a Newtonian rheology and Fourier's law of thermal transport with constant, uniform (dynamic ...

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 ...

Boussinesq and Anelastic Approximations Revisited: Potential Energy Release during Thermobaric Instability [PDF]
Expressions are derived for the potential energy of a fluid whose density depends on three variables: temperature, pressure, and salinity. The thermal expansion coefficient is a function of depth, and the application is to thermobaric convection in the ...

Evolution of initial discontinuities in the Riemann problem for the Kaup-Boussinesq equation with positive dispersion [PDF]
We consider the space-time evolution of initial discontinuities of depth and flow velocity for an integrable version of the shallow water Boussinesq system introduced by Kaup.

Dynamic equilibria of a nonisothermal fluid
In this paper, stationary dynamic equilibria of the rotating mass of a nonisothermal fluid are discussed within the accuracy limits of the Boussinesq approximation.

Conservative modified Serre-Green-Naghdi equations with improved dispersion characteristics [PDF]
For surface gravity waves propagating in shallow water, we propose a variant of the fully nonlinear Serre-Green-Naghdi equations involving a free parameter that can be chosen to improve the dispersion properties.

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.

Contravariant Boussinesq equations for the simulation of wave transformation, breaking and run-up [PDF]
We propose an integral form of the fully non-linear Boussinesq equations in contravariant formulation, in which Christoffel symbols are avoided, in order to simulate wave transformation phenomena, wave breaking and near shore currents in computational

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.
