Abstract

In this paper, we explore the low Mach number singular limit of the local-in-time strong solutions to the compressible primitive equations with gravity for general adiabatic coefficient. First we construct the uniform estimate for the solutions to the non-dimensional compressible primitive equations with general ill-prepared initial data. Due to the effects of gravity and the anisotropy of the system, the operator with large coefficient in this model is not explicitly skew-symmetric. Thus, obtaining the uniform estimate requires novel techniques. After that, we investigate rigorously the low Mach number limit of the compressible primitive equations with both well-prepared and ill-prepared initial data. The limiting system is shown to be the incompressible primitive equations with inhomogeneous density that depends on the vertical variable.
