In the present paper, we study the combined incompressible and fast rotation limits for the full Navier-Stokes-Fourier system with Coriolis, centrifugal and gravitational forces, in the regime of small Mach, Froude and Rossby numbers and for general ill-prepared initial data. We consider both the isotropic scaling (where all the numbers have the same order of magnitude) and the multi-scale case (where some effect is predominant with respect to the others). In the case when the Mach number is of higher order than the Rossby number, we prove that the limit dynamics is described by an incompressible Oberbeck-Boussinesq system, where the velocity field is horizontal (according to the Taylor-Proudman theorem), but vertical effects on the temperature equation are not negligible. Instead, when the Mach and Rossby numbers have the same order of magnitude, and in absence of the centrifugal force, we show convergence to a quasi-geostrophic equation for a stream function of the limit velocity field, coupled with a transport-diffusion equation for a new unknown, which links the target density and temperature profiles. The proof of the convergence is based on a compensated compactness argument. The key point is to identify some compactness properties hidden in the system of acoustic-Poincaré waves. Compared to previous results, our method enables first of all to treat the whole range of parameters in the multi-scale problem, and also to consider a low Froude number regime with the somehow critical choice $Fr=sqrt{Ma}$, where $Ma$ is the Mach number. This allows us to capture some (low) stratification effects in the limit.

Abstract

In the present paper, we study the combined incompressible and fast rotation limits for the full Navier-Stokes-Fourier system with Coriolis, centrifugal and gravitational forces, in the regime of small Mach, Froude and Rossby numbers and for general ill-prepared initial data. We consider both the isotropic scaling (where all the numbers have the same order of magnitude) and the multi-scale case (where some effect is predominant with respect to the others). In the case when the Mach number is of higher order than the Rossby number, we prove that the limit dynamics is described by an incompressible Oberbeck-Boussinesq system, where the velocity field is horizontal (according to the Taylor-Proudman theorem), but vertical effects on the temperature equation are not negligible. Instead, when the Mach and Rossby numbers have the same order of magnitude, and in absence of the centrifugal force, we show convergence to a quasi-geostrophic equation for a stream function of the limit velocity field, coupled with a transport-diffusion equation for a new unknown, which links the target density and temperature profiles. The proof of the convergence is based on a compensated compactness argument. The key point is to identify some compactness properties hidden in the system of acoustic-Poincaré waves. Compared to previous results, our method enables first of all to treat the whole range of parameters in the multi-scale problem, and also to consider a low Froude number regime with the somehow critical choice $Fr=sqrt{Ma}$, where $Ma$ is the Mach number. This allows us to capture some (low) stratification effects in the limit.
