We study the inviscid damping of Couette flow with an exponentially stratified density. The optimal decay rates of the velocity field and the density are obtained for general perturbations with minimal regularity. For Boussinesq approximation model, the decay rates we get are consistent with the previous results in the literature. We also study the decay rates for the full Euler equations of st...

We extend earlier work on traveling waves in premixed flames in a gravitationally stratified medium, subject to the Boussinesq approximation. For threedimensional channels not aligned with the gravity direction and under the Dirichlet boundary conditions in the fluid velocity, it is shown that a non-planar traveling wave, corresponding to a non-zero reaction, exists, under an explicit condition...

I analyze the advanced mixing regime of the Rayleigh-Taylor incompressible turbulence in the small Atwood number Boussinesq approximation. The prime focus of my phenomenological approach is to resolve the temporal behavior and the small-scale spatial correlations of velocity and temperature fields inside the mixing zone, which grows as proportional, variant t(2). I show that the "5/3"-Kolmogoro...

Abstract—This work deals with the problem of MHD mixed convection in a completely porous and differentially heated vertical channel. The model of Darcy-Brinkman-Forchheimer with the Boussinesq approximation is adopted and the governing equations are solved by the finite volume method. The effects of magnetic field and buoyancy force intensities are given by the Hartmann and Richardson numbers r...

We derive block preconditioners for a finite element discretization of incompressible flow coupled to heat transport by the Boussinesq approximation. Our techniques rely on effectively approximating the Schur complement obtained by eliminating the fluid variables to obtain an equation for temperature alone. Additionally, the method utilizes existing block-structured preconditioners and multilev...

The objective of this work is to describe a variational multiscale finite element approximation for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations using the Boussinesq approximation to model thermal coupling. The main feature of the formulation in contrast to other stabilized methods is that we consider the subscales as transient and orthogonal to the finite element space. These subscales are solut...

This paper is concerned with the global well-posedness and inviscid limits of several systems of Boussinesq equations with fractional dissipation. Three main results are proven. The first result assesses the global regularity of two systems of equations close to the critical 2D Boussinesq equations. This is achieved by examining their inviscid limits. The second result relates the global regula...

We develop a finite element scheme to approximate the dynamics of two and three dimensional fluidic membranes in Navier-Stokes flow. Local inextensibility of the membrane is ensured by solving a tangential Navier-Stokes equation, taking surface viscosity effects of Boussinesq-Scriven type into account. In our approach the bulk and surface degrees of freedom are discretized independently, which ...

We investigate the asymptotic limit of solutions to Navier-Stokes-Fourier system with Mach number proportional a small parameter $\rightarrow 0$, Froude $\sqrt{}$ and when fluid occupies large domain spatial obstacle rough surface varying 0$. The velocity field is solenoidal satisfies incompressible Oberbeck–Boussinesq approximation. Our studies are based on weak approach in order pass convecti...
