The semi-geostrophic system is widely used in the modelling of large-scale atmospheric flows. In this paper, we prove existence of solutions of the incompressible semi-geostrophic equations in a fully three-dimensional domain with a free upper boundary condition. We show that, using methods similar to those introduced in the pioneering work of Benamou and Brenier, who analysed the same system but with a rigid boundary condition, we can prove the existence of solutions for the incompressible free boundary problem. The proof is based on optimal transport results as well as the analysis of Hamiltonian ODEs in spaces of probability measures given by Ambrosio and Gangbo. We also show how these techniques can be modified to yield the same result also for the compressible version of the system.

We give a new and constructive proof of the existence of global-in-time weak solutions of the 3-dimensional incompressible semi-geostrophic equations (SG) in geostrophic coordinates, for arbitrary initial measures with compact support. This new proof, based on semi-discrete optimal transport techniques, works by characterising discrete solutions of SG in geostrophic coordinates in terms of trajectories satisfying an ordinary differential equation. It is advantageous in its simplicity and its explicit relation to Eulerian coordinates through the use of Laguerre tessellations. Using our method, we obtain improved time-regularity for a large class of discrete initial measures, and we compute explicitly two discrete solutions. The method naturally gives rise to an efficient numerical method, which we illustrate by presenting simulations of a 2-dimensional semi-geostrophic flow in geostrophic coordinates generated using a numerical solver for the semi-discrete optimal transport problem coupled with an ordinary differential equation solver.
We study the stationary nonhomogeneous Navier--Stokes problem in a two dimensional symmetric domain with a semi-infinite outlet (for instance, either parabo-loidal or channel-like). Under the symmetry assumptions on the domain, boundary value and external force we prove the existence of at least one weak symmetric solution without any restriction on the size of the fluxes, i.e. the fluxes of the boundary value ${bf a}$ over the inner and the outer boundaries may be arbitrarily large. Only the necessary compatibility condition (the total flux is equal to zero) has to be satisfied. Moreover, the Dirichlet integral of the solution can be finite or infinite depending on the geometry of the domain.
The semi-geostrophic equations are used widely in the modelling of large-scale atmospheric flows. In this note, we prove the global existence of weak solutions of the incompressible semi-geostrophic equations, in geostrophic coordinates, in a three-dimensional domain with a free upper boundary. The proof, based on an energy minimisation argument originally inspired by Cullens Stability Principle, uses optimal transport results as well as the analysis of Hamiltonian ODEs in spaces of probability measures as studied by Ambrosio and Gangbo. We also give a general formulation of Cullens Stability Principle in a rigorous mathematical framework.
By employing a novel generalization of the inverse scattering transform method known as the unified transform or Fokas method, it can be shown that the solution of certain physically significant boundary value problems for the elliptic sine-Gordon equation, as well as for the elliptic version of the Ernst equation, can be expressed in terms of the solution of appropriate $2 times 2$-matrix Riemann--Hilbert (RH) problems. These RH problems are defined in terms of certain functions, called spectral functions, which involve the given boundary conditions, but also unknown boundary values. For arbitrary boundary conditions, the determination of these unknown boundary values requires the analysis of a nonlinear Fredholm integral equation. However, there exist particular boundary conditions, called linearizable, for which it is possible to bypass this nonlinear step and to characterize the spectral functions directly in terms of the given boundary conditions. Here, we review the implementation of this effective procedure for the following linearizable boundary value problems: (a) the elliptic sine-Gordon equation in a semi-strip with zero Dirichlet boundary values on the unbounded sides and with constant Dirichlet boundary value on the bounded side; (b) the elliptic Ernst equation with boundary conditions corresponding to a uniformly rotating disk of dust; (c) the elliptic Ernst equation with boundary conditions corresponding to a disk rotating uniformly around a central black hole; (d) the elliptic Ernst equation with vanishing Neumann boundary values on a rotating disk.
We study the Cauchy problem for the quasi-geostrophic equations with the critical dissipation in the two dimensional half space under the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition. We show the global existence, the uniqueness and the analyticity of solutions, and the real analyticity up to the boundary is obtained. We will show one of natural ways to estimate the nonlinear term for functions satisfying the Dirichlet boundary condition.
