Considered here is a class of Boussinesq systems Nwogu type. Such describe propagation nonlinear and dispersive water waves significant interest such as solitary tsunami waves. The initial-boundary value problem on finite interval for this family studied both theoretically numerically. First, the linearization certain generalized system solved analytically via unified transform Fokas. correspon...

This paper studies solutions of the two-dimensional incompressible Boussinesq equations with fractional dissipation. The spatial domain is a periodic box. The Boussinesq equations concerned here govern the coupled evolution of the fluid velocity and the temperature and have applications in fluid mechanics and geophysics. When the dissipation is in the supercritical regime (the sum of the fracti...

The two-dimensional incompressible Boussinesq equations with partial or fractional dissipation have recently attracted considerable attention and the global regularity issue has been extensively investigated. This paper aims at the global regularity in the case when the dissipation is critical. The critical dissipation refers to α + β = 1 when Λα ≡ (−Δ)α2 and Λβ represent the fractional Laplaci...

We consider the n-dimensional Boussinesq equations with fractional dissipation, and establish a regularity criterion in terms of the velocity gradient in Besov spaces with negative order.

We investigate the linear stability of unstably strati ed Poiseuille ow between two horizontal parallel plates under non-Boussinesq conditions. It is shown, that Squire's transformation can be used to reduce the three-dimensional stability problem to an equivalent two-dimensional one. The eigenvalue problem, consisting of the generalized Orr-Sommerfeld equations, is solved numerically using an ...

In this paper we study finite dimensional approximations to Boussinesq type equations. Our methods are based on infinite dimensional center manifold theory. The main advantage of our approach is that we can handle both well-posed and ill-posed versions of the Boussinesq equation. We show that for suitable initial conditions, our approximations describe the dynamics accurately for long enough ti...

We use linear stability analysis to approximate the axisymmetric to nonaxisymmetric transition in the differentially heated rotating annulus. We study an accurate mathematical model that uses the Navier– Stokes equations in the Boussinesq approximation. The steady axisymmetric solution satisfies a two-dimensional partial differential boundary value problem. It is not possible to compute the sol...
