Abstract
We study a triple singular limit for the scaled barotropic Navier–Stokes system modeling the motion of a rotating, compressible, and viscous fluid, where the Mach and Rossby numbers are proportional to a small parameter \(\varepsilon \), while the Reynolds number becomes infinite for \(\varepsilon \rightarrow 0\). If the fluid is confined to an infinite slab bounded above and below by two parallel planes, the limit behavior is identified as a purely horizontal motion of an incompressible inviscid fluid, the evolution of which is described by an analogue of the Euler system.

1 Introduction
There have been several types of singular limits of the Navier–Stokes system studied in the recent literature, among them a few devoted to the effect of rotation, see Chemin et al. [4]. In this paper, we consider the scaled compressible Navier–Stokes system describing the time evolution of the density \(\varrho = \varrho (t,x)\) and the velocity \(\mathbf{u}= \mathbf{u}(t,x)\) of a compressible viscous and rotating fluid:
where \(\text{ S }\) is the viscous stress, here given by Newton’s rheological law,
\(p = p(\varrho )\) is the pressure, \(\mu > 0\) and \(\eta \ge 0\) are the viscosity coefficients, \(\mathbf{\omega } = [0,0,1]\) is the axis of rotation, and \(\nabla _xG\) represents a conservative force imposed on the system, say, by the gravitational potential \(G\) of an object placed outside the fluid domain, see the survey of Klein [21].
The scaled system contains several characteristic numbers:
-
Ro—Rossby number
-
Ma—Mach number
-
Re—Reynolds number
The following are examples of singular limits considered in numerous studies:
-
The low Mach number limit: The Mach number is the ratio of the characteristic speed of the fluid divided on the speed of sound. In the low Mach number limit, the fluid flow becomes incompressible, the density distribution is constant, and the velocity field becomes solenoidal, see Ebin [7], Klainerman and Majda [19], Lions and Masmoudi [22], Masmoudi [26], among others.
-
The low Rossby number limit: Low Rossby number corresponds to fast rotation. As observed by many authors, the highly rotating fluids become planar (two-dimensional). Accordingly, the fast rotation has a regularizing effect, see Babin et al. [1, 2], Chemin et al. [4].
-
The high Reynolds number limit: In the high Reynolds number limit, the viscosity of the fluid becomes negligible. Consequently, solutions of the Navier–Stokes system tend to the solutions of the Euler system, see Clopeau et al. [5], Masmoudi [23, 25, 26], Swann [31], among others. The inviscid limits include the difficulties related to the boundary behavior of the fluid and a proper choice of boundary conditions, see Kato [17], Kelliher [18], Sammartino and Caflisch [29, 30], Temam and Wang [32, 33].
The effects described above may act simultaneously. The incompressible inviscid limit was investigated by Masmoudi [25]; for viscous rotating fluids, see Masmoudi [24], Ngo [27], and the compressible rotating fluids were discussed in [9, 10]. In this paper, we address the problem of the triple limit for \(\mathrm{Ma} = \mathrm{Ro} = \varepsilon \rightarrow 0\), while \(\mathrm{Re} = \mathrm{Re}(\varepsilon ) \rightarrow \infty \) as \(\varepsilon \rightarrow 0\). In agreement with the previous discussion, the fluid flow is expected to become (i) incompressible, (ii) planar (2D), and (iii) inviscid and as such described by a variant of the 2D incompressible Euler system that is known to possess global-in-time solutions for any regular initial data. Note that the action of volume forces in the momentum equation (1.2) is represented solely by the potential \(G\), notably the effect of the centrifugal force is neglected. This is a standard simplification adopted, for instance, in models of atmosphere or astrophysics, see Jones et al. [15, 16] , Klein [20]. On the other hand, although the centrifugal force is counterbalanced by the gravity in many real-world applications (see Durran [6]), it is proportional to \(1/\varepsilon ^2\) under the present scaling, and its far field impact may change the limit problem dramatically, see [9].
Similarly to [9, 10], we consider the problem (1.1–1.3) in an infinite slab \(\Omega = R^2 \times (0,1)\), denoting the horizontal components of a vector field \(\mathbf{v}\) by \(\mathbf{v}_h\), \(\mathbf{v} = [\mathbf{v}_h, v_3]\), where the velocity field \(\mathbf{u}\) satisfies the complete slip boundary conditions
where \(\mathbf{n} = [0,0, \pm 1]\) is the outer normal vector. Such a choice of boundary behavior prevents the flow from creating a viscous boundary layer—the up to now unsurmountable difficulty of the inviscid limits, see Kato [17], Temam and Wang [33]. As a matter of fact, replacing (1.4) by the more standard no-slip boundary condition would drive the fluid to the trivial state \(\mathbf{u}= 0\) in the asymptotic limit unless we impose anisotropic viscosity, see Bresch et al. [3], Chemin et al. [4].
Our approach is based on the relative entropy inequality (cf. [11], Masmoudi [25], Wang and Jiang [34]) applied in the framework of weak solutions to the Navier–Stokes system (1.1–1.3). We consider the ill-prepared initial data:
where \(\overline{\varrho } > 0\) is the anticipated constant limit density enforced by the incompressible limit. Accordingly, the resulting problem is supplemented by the far field conditions
Supposing we already know that, in some sense,
we may (formally) check that \(q = q(x_h)\), \(\mathbf{v} = [\mathbf{v}_h (x_h),0]\) are interrelated through the diagnostic equation
and \(q\) satisfies
Here and hereafter, the subscript \(h\) indicates the restriction of the standard differential operators to the horizontal variables, for instance, \(\nabla _h f = [\partial _{x_1} f , \partial _{x_2} f]\), \(\mathrm{div}_h \mathbf{v} = \partial _{x_1} h_1 + \partial _{x_2} h_2\), \(\Delta _h = \mathrm{div}_h \nabla _h\), etc.
Note that
whence, \(r\) can be viewed as a kind of stream function, while the system (1.8), (1.9) possesses the same structure as the 2D Euler equations. In particular, we expect the solutions of (1.8), (1.9) to be as regular as the initial data and to exist globally in time. Equation (1.9) arises in the theory of quasi-geostrophic flows, see Zeitlin [35, Chapters 1,2].
One of the major stumbling blocks in the analysis of the singular limit is the presence of rapidly oscillating Rossby-acoustic waves. Their behavior is described by means of a hyperbolic system
where
The bulk of the paper is devoted to the dispersive estimates for the problem (1.10), (1.11). In particular, we use the recent results of Guo, Peng, and Wang [14] on the asymptotic behavior of the abstract group of operators
where \(\Phi \) is a function with specific properties. In particular, we establish \(L^1 - L^\infty \) decay estimates for the solutions of (1.10), (1.11) in the frequency domain bounded away from zero.
The paper is organized as follows. In Sect. 2, we introduce the standard definition of finite energy weak solutions to the scaled system (1.1–1.6) and formulate the main result. Section 3 contains the relative entropy inequality, together with the uniform bounds on the family of solutions of the scaled system. Section 4 represents the bulk of the paper. Using the abstract result of Guo et al. [14], we establish the \(L^1-L^\infty \) estimates for the acoustic-Rossby waves. Such a result for the system (1.10), (1.11) may be of independent interest and represents an analogue of the standard Strichartz estimates for the wave and Schrodinger equations. In particular, we extend the smoothing estimates established in [10] and obtain the necessary tool to attack the inviscid limit in Sect. 5.
2 Preliminaries, main results
In order to fix ideas and to simplify presentation, we suppose, without loss of generality, that \(\overline{\varrho } = 1\). In addition, we assume that the pressure \(p \in C [0,\infty ) \cap C^3 (0, \infty )\) satisfies
Moreover, again for the sake of simplicity, we suppose
Finally, given our choice of the complete slip boundary conditions (1.4), it is convenient to replace the set \(\Omega = R^2 \times [0,1]\) by
meaning we suppose that all quantities are 2-periodic with respect to the vertical variable \(x_3\). Moreover, in accordance with (1.4), we assume that
and
for all \(t \in (0,T)\), \(x_h \in R^2\), \(x_3 \in [-1,1]|_{\{ -1,1 \} }\). Such a formulation, completely equivalent to (1.4), was proposed by Ebin [8].
Setting \(\mathrm{Ma} = \mathrm{Ro} = \varepsilon \), \(\mu = \mu _\varepsilon \searrow 0\), we say that \(\varrho \), \(\mathbf{u}\) is a finite energy weak solution to the scaled Navier–Stokes system (1.1–1.7) if:
-
The density \(\varrho \) is a nonnegative function such that
$$\begin{aligned} (\varrho - 1) \in L^\infty (0,T; (L^2 + L^{\gamma })(\Omega )); \end{aligned}$$the velocity \(\mathbf{u}\) belongs to the space \(L^2(0,T; W^{1,2}(\Omega ))\). Moreover, in accordance with our convention, both \(\varrho \) and \(\mathbf{u}\) satisfy the symmetry condition (2.3).
-
The equation of continuity (1.1) holds in the weak sense:
$$\begin{aligned} \int \limits _0^T \int \limits _{\Omega } \left( \varrho \partial _t \varphi + \varrho \mathbf{u}\cdot \nabla _x\varphi \right) \ \mathrm{d} {x} \ \mathrm{d} t = - \int \limits _{\Omega } \varrho _{0,\varepsilon } \varphi (0, \cdot ) \ \mathrm{d} {x} \end{aligned}$$(2.5)for any \(\varphi \in C^\infty _c([0,T) \times {\Omega })\).
-
Similarly, the momentum equation is replaced by a family of integral identities
$$\begin{aligned}&\int \limits _0^T \int \limits _{\Omega } \left( \varrho \mathbf{u}\cdot \partial _t \varphi + \varrho \mathbf{u}\otimes \mathbf{u}: \nabla _x\varphi - \frac{1}{\varepsilon } \varrho (\mathbf{\omega } \times \mathbf{u}) \cdot \varphi + \frac{1}{\varepsilon ^2} p(\varrho ) \mathrm{div}_x\varphi \right) \ \mathrm{d} {x} \ \mathrm{d} t \nonumber \\&\quad =\int \limits _0^T \int \limits _{\Omega } \text{ S }_\varepsilon (\nabla _x\mathbf{u}) : \nabla _x\varphi \ \mathrm{d} {x} \mathrm{d} t - \int \limits _0^T \int \limits _{\Omega } \varrho \nabla _xG \cdot \varphi \ \mathrm{d} {x} \ \mathrm{d} t - \int \limits _{\Omega } \varrho _{0,\varepsilon } \mathbf{u}_{0,\varepsilon } \cdot \varphi (0, \cdot ) \ \mathrm{d} {x}\nonumber \\ \end{aligned}$$(2.6)for any \(\varphi \in C^\infty _c([0,T) \times {\Omega })\), with
$$\begin{aligned} \text{ S }_\varepsilon (\nabla _x\mathbf{u}) = \mu _\varepsilon \left( \nabla _x\mathbf{u}+ \nabla _x^t \mathbf{u}- \frac{2}{3} \mathrm{div}_x\mathbf{u}\text{ I } \right) ,\ \mu _\varepsilon \searrow 0. \end{aligned}$$(2.7) -

$$\begin{aligned} H(\varrho ) = \varrho \int \limits _1^\varrho \frac{p(z)}{z^2} \ \mathrm{d}z. \end{aligned}$$(2.9)
2.1 Limit system
Under the convention (2.1), (2.2), the expected limit problem reads
supplemented with the initial condition
Note that (2.11) can be written as
whence, the problem enjoys strong similarity with the standard Euler system. In particular, we may use the abstract theory of Oliver [28, Theorem 3] to obtain the following result:
Proposition 2.1
Suppose that
Then, the problem (2.12), (2.13) admits a solution \(q\), unique in the class
It is worth noting that, similarly to the \(2D\)-Euler system, the solution \(q\) can be constructed globally in time.
2.2 Main result
Having collected all the necessary preliminary material, we are in a position to state the main result of the present paper.
Theorem 2.1
Let the pressure \(p\) satisfy the hypotheses (2.1), (2.2). Suppose that the initial data \(\varrho _{0,\varepsilon }\), \(\mathbf{u}_{0,\varepsilon }\) belong to the symmetry class (2.3) and are given through (1.5), (1.6), where
where
Let
and satisfy (2.4).
Furthermore, let \(q_0 = q_0(x_h)\) be the unique solution of the elliptic problem
Finally, let \([\varrho _\varepsilon , \mathbf{u}_\varepsilon ]\) be a weak solution of the scaled Navier–Stokes system (1.1–1.7) in the sense specified above.
Then,
where \([q, \mathbf{v}]\) is the (unique) solution of the problem (2.10–2.12).
The rest of the paper is devoted to the proof of Theorem 2.1.
3 Relative entropy, uniform bounds
We start by introducing the relative entropy functional for the compressible Navier–Stokes system identified in [11, 12], Germain [13]. Set
where the function \(H\) was defined in (2.9).
3.1 Relative entropy inequality
It can be shown that any finite energy weak solution \([\varrho _\varepsilon , \mathbf{u}_\varepsilon ]\) of the Navier–Stokes system (1.1–1.7) satisfies the relative entropy inequality:
for all (smooth) functions \(r\), \(\mathbf{U}\) such that
see [11]. Clearly, the class of admissible “test” functions (3.3) can be considerably extended by means of a density argument. Note that the relative entropy inequality (3.2) reduces to the energy inequality (2.8) provided we take \(r = 1\), \(\mathbf{U} = 0\).
3.2 Uniform bounds
Before deriving the available uniform bounds on the family of solutions \([\varrho _\varepsilon , \mathbf{u}_\varepsilon ]\), it seems convenient to introduce the essential and residual component of any function \(h\):
The uniform bounds are derived from the energy inequality (2.8) (the relative entropy inequality (3.2) with \(r = 1\), \(\mathbf{U} = 0\)). Since the initial data satisfy the hypotheses (2.14), (2.15), the integral on the left-hand side of (2.8) remains bounded uniformly for \(\varepsilon \rightarrow 0\). Accordingly, we get
and
see [10, Section 2]. We remark that
where, thanks to the hypothesis (2.17), the right integral can be “absorbed” by means of a Gronwall-type argument.
Finally, by virtue of Korn’s inequality, the relation (3.7) implies
Note that all the above bounds depend, in general, on \(T\).
3.3 Convergence, part I
It follows immediately from (3.4–3.6) that
at least for suitable subsequences. In particular,
and
Finally, letting \(\varepsilon \rightarrow 0\) in the equation of continuity (2.5), we deduce
and, multiplying the momentum equation by \(\varepsilon \), we get the diagnostic equation
where both relations are to be understood in the sense of distributions. It is easy to check that (3.14) imposes the following restrictions:
Finally, since \(\mathbf{u}\) belongs to the symmetry class (2.3),
4 Dispersive estimates
As already pointed out in the introduction, the heart of the paper is dispersive estimates for the acoustic-Rossby waves, the propagation of which is governed by the system,
4.1 The wave propagator
Consider the operator
defined on the space \(L^2(\Omega ) \times L^2(\Omega ;R^3)\). The operator \(\mathcal B \) is skew symmetric, with the domain of definition
Next, we introduce the null space \(\mathcal N [\mathcal B ]\),
We remark that \(v_3 = 0\) as soon as \([q, \mathbf{v}] \in \mathcal N [\mathcal B ]\) belongs to the symmetry class (2.3).
4.1.1 Projection onto \(\mathcal N (\mathcal B )\)
Given a couple of functions \([r, \mathbf{U}]\) defined in \(\Omega \), we want to compute the orthogonal projection
In addition, we assume \([r, \mathbf{U}]\) belongs to the symmetry class (2.3).
To begin, we project \([r, \mathbf{U}]\) onto the space of functions depending only on the horizontal variable \(x_h\), meaning we take
Our goal is to minimize the functional
under the constraint
We have
Thus, the associated Euler–Lagrange equation for the minimization problem gives rise to
and
cf. the initial data decomposition (2.18).
4.2 Spectral analysis and dispersive estimates
We employ the methods of Fourier analysis in order to derive dispersive estimates for solutions of the system (4.1), (4.2). Formally, the solutions of (4.1), (4.2) may be written in the form
where \(\mathrm{i}\mathcal B \) is a self-adjoint operator in \(L^2(\Omega ) \times L^2(\Omega ;R^3)\).
Accordingly, we deduce that the solution operator generates a group of isometries in the \(L^2\)-norm, specifically
Moreover, as the problem is linear, we obtain
4.2.1 Fourier representation
For each function \(g \in L^2(\Omega )\), we introduce its Fourier representation
where
We have
where the symbol \(\mathcal F _{x_h \rightarrow \xi }\) denotes the standard Fourier transform on \(R^2\).
4.2.2 Solutions in the Fourier variables
The problem (4.1), (4.2) expressed in terms of the Fourier variables reads as follows:
whence,
with the symmetric matrix
It is a routine matter to check that the symmetric matrix \(\mathcal A (\xi ,k)\) possesses four eigenvalues:
Note that \(\lambda _3(\xi , 0) = \lambda _4(\xi , 0) = 0\), which corresponds to the nontrivial kernel of the operator \(\mathcal B \) discussed in Sect. 4.1.1. Consequently, diagonalizing the matrix \(\mathcal A \), we may rewrite (4.10) in the form
for a suitable matrix \(\mathcal Q \).
4.2.3 Decay estimates
For each fixed \(k\), the solution operators introduced in (4.12) may be viewed as
In particular, the eigenvalues are smooth functions of \(|\xi | \approx \sqrt{ - \Delta _h }\) on the open interval \((0, \infty )\), and, as can be checked by direct computation, \(\lambda _1(|\xi |, k)\) is strictly increasing in \(|\xi |\) for any fixed \(k \in Z\), while \(\lambda _3(|\xi |, k)\) is strictly decreasing whenever \(k \ne 0\). Consequently, we can use the result of Guo et al. [14, Theorem 1 (a)] to obtain the decay estimate
where
is a frequency cut-off operator.
Knowing that \(\exp \left( - \mathrm{i} t \lambda _j \left( \sqrt{- \Delta _h}, k \right) \right) \) are also \(L^2-\) isometries, and using the fact that \(\Psi (|\xi |)\) is \(L^p\)-multiplier, we conclude, by interpolation,
4.3 Initial data decomposition
In order to exploit the dispersive estimates derived in the preceding part, we have to find a suitable mollification of the initial data \(\varrho ^{(1)}_0\) and \(\mathbf{u}_0\). To this end, we consider a family of smooth functions
and
Finally, we regularize the data \(\varrho ^{(1)}_0\), \(\mathbf{u}_0\) taking
and similarly,
In other words, we first multiply the data by a cut-off function to ensure integrability and then perform a similar cut-off in the frequency variable to ensure smoothness. We remark that
-
the functions \(\psi _\delta \) are obviously \(L^p\) multipliers for any \(1 < p < \infty \),
-
the orthogonal projection \(\mathcal P \) onto the kernel \(\mathcal N (\mathcal B )\) commutes with the frequency cut-off represented by \(\psi _\delta \),
-
the operator \(\mathrm{i}\mathcal B \) represented in the Fourier variables by the matrix \(\mathcal A \) commutes with the frequency smoothing; in particular, the time evolution of the mollified data remains restricted to the domain of frequencies bounded above as well as below away from zero.
Finally, we write the initial data in the form
and denote \(s_{\varepsilon , \delta }\), \(\mathbf{V}_{\varepsilon , \delta }\) the unique solution of the acoustic system
supplemented with the initial data
We have
where, in agreement with the previous observations, (i) each component of the vector
is of the form \(\psi (|\xi |) a(\xi , k)\), with \(\psi \in C^\infty _c(0, \infty )\) for each fixed \(k \in Z\), (ii) as \([s_{0, \delta }, \mathbf{V}_{0, \delta }] \in \mathcal N [ \mathcal B ]^\perp \),
Consequently, interpolating the decay estimates (4.14) with (4.8), we may infer that
for any fixed \(\delta > 0\), any \(1 \le p < \infty \), and \(m=0,1,\ldots \).
5 Convergence, part II
We finish the proof of Theorem 2.1 by means of another application of the relative entropy inequality (3.2), this time for the choice
where \([s_{\varepsilon , \delta }, \mathbf{V}_{\varepsilon , \delta }]\) are solutions of the acoustic system (4.19–4.21), the properties of which were discussed in the previous section, while \([q_{\delta }, \mathbf{v}_{\delta }]\) is the solution of the target problem
cf. Proposition 2.1.
5.1 Initial data
Going back to the relative entropy inequality (3.2) with the “ansatz” (5.1), we get, in agreement with the hypotheses (2.14–2.16),
5.2 Viscosity
We write
where, by virtue of Korn’s inequality,
5.3 Forcing term
Furthermore, in accordance with the hypothesis (2.17), the convergence established in (3.12), and the decay estimates (4.22), we get
where we have used (3.16), (5.2).
Summing up the previous estimates with (5.4), we can rewrite the relative entropy inequality in the form:
Here and hereafter, we use the symbol \(h_i, i=1,2,\ldots \) to denote a function of \(\varepsilon \), \(\delta \) enjoying the following properties:
5.4 Estimating the remaining terms
To begin, let us recall our convention that
Furthermore, in the following discussion, we make a systematic use of the dispersive decay estimates (4.22).
Step 1:
We have
where, in accordance with (4.19), (5.2),
Furthermore, we get
Consequently, after a straightforward manipulation, the inequality (5.5) can be rewritten as follows:
Finally, we use the relation (5.2) to conclude that
Step 2:
We rewrite the integral
where, by virtue of the uniform bounds (3.1–3.6), combined with the dispersive estimates (4.22),
uniformly in \(\tau \in [0,T]\).
Consequently, we may infer that
Step 3:
In view of the uniform bounds (3.4–3.6), we have
whence, by virtue of the dispersive estimates (4.22),
uniformly for \(\tau \in [0,T]\).
Similarly, we obtain
Thus, using (3.12), (3.13), we conclude that
uniformly in \(\tau \in [0,T]\).
In view of (5.11), (5.12), the relative entropy inequality (5.10) reduces to
Step 4:
Similarly to the above, we deduce from (5.13) that
where
Furthermore, we have
and, by virtue of (2.11), (3.14),
On the other hand, a routine manipulation gives rise to
whence,
Finally, multiplying the equation (5.3) on \(q_\delta \), we obtain
In view of the previous discussion, the relation (5.14) reduces to
with
Passing to the limit, first for \(\varepsilon \rightarrow 0\) and then for \(\delta \rightarrow 0\), in (5.15), we complete the proof of Theorem 2.1. Indeed letting \(\varepsilon \rightarrow 0\) in (5.15) and using (5.4), the dispersive estimates (4.22), together with Gronwall’s lemma, we obtain
for any compact \(K \subset \overline{\Omega }\). Finally, letting \(\delta \rightarrow 0\) finishes the proof of Theorem 2.1.
