Moist stratified turbulence is studied in a two-dimensional Boussinesq system influenced by condensation and evaporation. The problem is set in a periodic domain and employs simple evaporation and condensation schemes, wherein both the…
We present results from direct numerical simulations of the Boussinesq equations in the presence of rotation and/or stratification, both in the vertical direction. The runs are forced isotropically and randomly at small scales and have…

We address the long time behavior of the Boussinesq system coupling the Navier-Stokes equations driven by density with the non-diffusive equation for the density. We construct solutions of the system justifying previously obtained a priori…
We study the two dimensional viscous Boussinesq equations, which model stratified flows in a circular domain under the influence of a general gravitational potential $f$. First, we show that the Boussinesq equations admit steady-state…
We study a mathematical model of a perturbed stratified shear mean flow in the presence of eddy coefficients of turbulent viscosity. We adopt the standard Boussinesq approximation in the natural convection of the buoyancy-driven flow and…
In this work, we obtain the hydrostatic approximation by taking the small aspect ratio limit to the Navier-Stokes equations. The aspect ratio (the ratio of the depth to horizontal width) is a geometrical constraint in general large scale…
In this paper we explore the fast rotation, nonhydrostatic limit of the rotating and stratified Boussinesq equations. We derive new reduced equations for the slow dynamics that describe Taylor-Proudman flows. One new aspect of the dynamics…
In this article, we derive a viscous Boussinesq system for surface water waves from Navier-Stokes equations. We use neither the irrotationality assumption, nor the Zakharov-Craig-Sulem formulation. During the derivation, we find the bottom…
The equations of motion describing buoyant fluids are often simplified using a set of approximations proposed by J. Boussinesq one century ago. To resume, they consist in assuming constant fluid properties, incompressibility and…
In this paper, we first revisit the celebrated Boussinesq approximation in stratified flows. Using scaling arguments we show that when the background shear is weak, the Boussinesq approximation yields either (i) $A_t\ll \mathcal{O}(1)$ or…
The primitive equations are derived from the $3D$-Navier-Stokes equations by the hydrostatic approximation. Formally, assuming an $\varepsilon$-thin domain and anisotropic viscosities with vertical viscosity…
This paper considers a family of non-diffusive active scalar equations where a viscosity type parameter enters the equations via the constitutive law that relates the drift velocity with the scalar field. The resulting operator is smooth…

Stably stratified fluids subject to sustained forcing are known to develop step-like density "staircases", where nearly homogeneous layers alternate with thin interfaces of strong stratification. However, long-time numerical investigations…
