Quyuan Lin - Between viscous and inviscid primitive equations

Abstract: The primitive equations (PE) are widely used in the study of geophysics, in particular when the aspect ratio of the domain is small, such as the ocean and atmosphere in the planetary scale. They are derived from the Navier-Stokes equations or Euler equations by taking the hydrostatic limit. The viscosity plays an important role in the properties of the PE.
