文摘The symmetries of the (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear incompressible non-hydrostatic Boussinesq (INHB) equations, which describe the atmospheric gravity waves (GWs), are researched in this paper. The Lie symmetries and the corresponding reductions are obtained by means of classical Lie group approach.
