Shallow Water Waves and Solitary Waves

Glossary Deep water A surface wave is said to be in deep water if its wavelength is much shorter than the local water depth. Internal wave A internal wave travels within the interior of a fluid. The maximum velocity and maximum amplitude occur within the fluid or at an internal boundary (interface). Internal waves depend on the density-stratification of the fluid. Shallow water A surface wave i...

On a Kinetic Model for Shallow Water Waves

The system of shallow water waves is one of the classical examples for nonlinear, twodimensional conservation laws. The paper investigates a simple kinetic equation depending on a parameter " which leads for " ! 0 to the system of shallow water waves. The corresponding 'equilibrium' distribution function has a compact support which depends on the eigenvalues of the hyperbolic system. It is show...

Rossby waves in ” shallow water ” magnetohydrodynamics

Aims. The influence of a toroidal magnetic field on the dynamics of Rossby waves in a thin layer of ideal conductive fluid on a rotating sphere is studied in the " shallow water " magnetohydrodynamic approximation for the first time. Methods. Dispersion relations for magnetic Rossby waves are derived analytically in Cartesian and spherical coordinates. Results. It is shown that the magnetic fie...
