Beatrice Pelloni (University of Reading) OxPDE Lunchtime Seminar Add to calendar Gibson 1st Floor SR
In this talk I will survey the results on the existence of solutions of the semigeostrophic system, a fully nonlinear reduction of the Navier-Stokes equation that constitute a valid model when the effect of rotation dominate the atmospheric flow. I will give an account of the theory developed since the pioneering work of Brenier in the early 90's, to more recent results obtained in a joint work with Mike Cullen and David Gilbert.
