An energetically and thermodynamically consistent Boussinesq model
R. Tailleux, T. Dubos, B. J. Hatton
The Boussinesq approximation is a cornerstone of geophysical fluid dynamics, yet its thermodynamic and energetic underpinnings have remained ambiguous. In standard formulations, th…

A Simple and Transparent Method for Improving the Energetics and Thermodynamics of Seawater Approximations: Static Energy Asymptotics (SEA)
Remi Tailleux, Thomas Dubos
The static energy encodes all possible information about the thermodynamics and potential energy (and all related forces) of stratified geophysical fluids. In this paper, we develo…
