The Dubreil-Jacotin-Long (DJL) equation is derived from the steady Euler equations. The result is a single equation for the isopycnal displacement . Here are a few cases:

Boussinesq with constant background velocity

where . is the far upstream density profile and is the acceleration due to gravity.

Boussinesq with non-constant background current
