Hydrostatic approximation of the 2D primitive equations in a thin strip

Abstract: We prove the global wellposedness of the 2D non-rotating primitive equations with no-slip boundary conditions in a thin strip of width

e p s

for small data which are analytic in the tangential direction. We also prove that the hydrostatic limit (when

e p s o 0

) is a couple of a Prandtl-like system for the velocity with a transport-diffusion equation for the temperature.
