We prove that the incompressible, density dependent, Navier-Stokes equations are globally well posed in a low Froude number regime. The density profile is supposed to be increasing in depth and linearized around a stable state. Moreover if the Froude number tends to zero we prove that such system converges (strongly) to a two-dimensional, stratified Navier-Stokes equations with full diffusivity. No smallness assumption is considered on the initial data.
