چکیده
The aim of this paper is to present a simplified, yet rigorous, deduction the Boussinesq approximated governing equations for buoyant flows. In order carry out core procedure, simplified version manifold asymptotic analyses available in literature discussed. method adopted study focussed on local balance valid general, not necessarily Newtonian, fluid. analysis carried by demonstrating leading terms limit which characterises approximation. role played effect viscous dissipation also taken into account.

The Boussinesq approximation for flows with fast rotation or strong swirl
For flows with small density variations, it is convenient to approximate them as incompressible whilst retaining the leading order effects due to the density variations, thus avoiding issues associated with acoustic waves. The classical approach is the Boussinesq approximation which was originally motivated by the desire to account for gravitational buoyancy effects. There are many situations o...
متن کاملThe Equations of Motion for Thermally Driven, Buoyant Flows
In this paper a set of approximate equations is derived which is applicable to very nonadiabati c, nondissipative, buoyant flows of a perfect gas. The flows are assumed to be generated by a heat source in which the heat is added slowly. The study is motivated by the occurrence of such f] ows in fires. There, the time scale associated with the fire growth and resultant f]uid moti on is usually l...
متن کاملThe Oberbeck-Boussinesq approximation in critical spaces
In this paper we study the validity of the so-called Oberbeck-Boussinesq approximation for compressible viscous perfect gases in the whole three-dimensional space. Both the cases of fluids with positive heat conductivity and zero conductivity are considered. For small perturbations of a constant equilibrium, we establish the global existence of unique strong solutions in a critical regularity f...
متن کاملInstabilities in buoyant flows under localized heating.
We study, from the numerical point of view, instabilities developed in a fluid layer with a free surface in a cylindrical container which is nonhomogeneously heated from below. In particular, we consider the case in which the applied heat is localized around the origin. An axisymmetric basic state appears as soon as a nonzero horizontal temperature gradient is imposed. The basic state may bifur...
متن کاملBoussinesq/Boussinesq systems for internal waves with a free surface, and the KdV approximation
We study here some asymptotic models for the propagation of internal and surface waves in a two-fluid system. We focus on the so-called long wave regime for one-dimensional waves, and consider the case of a flat bottom. Following the method presented in [6] for the one-layer case, we introduce a new family of symmetric hyperbolic models, that are equivalent to the classical Boussinesq/Boussines...
