On the Oberbeck-Boussinesq approximation on unbounded domains

چکیده
We study the Oberbeck-Boussinesq approximation describing the motion of an incompressible, heat-conducting fluid occupying a general unbounded domain in R3. We provide a rigorous justification of the model by means of scale analysis of the full Navier-Stokes-Fourier system in the low Mach and Froude number regime on large domains, the diameter of which is proportional to the speed of sound. Finally, we show that the total energy of any solution of the resulting Oberbeck-Boussinesq system tends to zero with growing time.

The 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 کاملRigorous derivation of the anelastic approximation to the Oberbeck-Boussinesq equations
It is shown that the anelastic Oberbeck-Boussinesq system is a small Mach, small Péclet and small Froude number limit of the complete Navier-Stokes-Fourier system for gases with large specific heat at constant volume. This result is obtained on an arbitrary large time interval. The proof allows an intrinsic view into the process of separation of fast oscillating acoustic waves, governed by a Li...
متن کاملLocal energy balance, specific heats and the Oberbeck-Boussinesq approximation
A thermodynamic argument is proposed in order to discuss the most appropriate form of the local energy balance equation within the Oberbeck-Boussinesq approximation. The study is devoted to establish the correct thermodynamic property to be used in order to express the relationship between the change of internal energy and the temperature change. It is noted that, if the fluid is a perfect gas,...
متن کاملSolving high-order partial differential equations in unbounded domains by means of double exponential second kind Chebyshev approximation
In this paper, a collocation method for solving high-order linear partial differential equations (PDEs) with variable coefficients under more general form of conditions is presented. This method is based on the approximation of the truncated double exponential second kind Chebyshev (ESC) series. The definition of the partial derivative is presented and derived as new operational matrices of der...
متن کاملStabilized Finite Element Methods for the Oberbeck-Boussinesq Model
We consider conforming finite element (FE) approximations for the time-dependent Oberbeck-Boussinesq model with inf-sup stable pairs for velocity and pressure and use a stabilization of the incompressibility constraint. In case of dominant convection, a local projection stabilization (LPS) method in streamline direction is considered both for velocity and temperature. For the arising nonlinear ...
