We consider the compressible Navier–Stokes–Fourier–Poisson system describing the motion of a viscous heat conducting rotating fluid confined to a straight layer
, where ω is a 2-D domain. The aim of this paper is to show that the weak solutions in the 3-D domain converge to the strong solution of the 2-D Navier–Stokes–Fourier–Poisson system on ω as
on the time interval, where the strong solution exists. We consider two different regimes in dependence on the asymptotic behaviour of the Froude number.
