Boussinesq approximation

An approximation to the dynamical equations of motion whereby density is assumed to be constant except in the buoyancy term, āˆ’gā€², of the vertical velocity equation, where g is the gravitational acceleration and ā€² is the density deviation. The approximation is reasonable if the vertical extent of the dynamics being considered is much smaller than the density scale height.
