An Integrablemodel Forundular Bores on Shallow Water
On the basis of the integrable Kaup-Boussinesq version of the shallow water equations, an analytical theory of undular bores is constructed. The problem of the decay of an initial discontinuity is considered.
متن کاملAnalytic model for a frictional shallow-water undular bore
We use the integrable Kaup-Boussinesq shallow water system, modified by a small viscous term, to model the formation of an undular bore with a steady profile. The description is made in terms of the corresponding integrable Whitham system, also appropriately modified by friction. This is derived in Riemann variables using a modified finite-gap integration technique for the AKNS scheme. The Whit...
متن کاملWave Breaking and the Generation of Undular Bores in an Integrable Shallow Water System
The generation of an undular bore in the vicinity of a wave-breaking point is considered for the integrable Kaup–Boussinesq (KB) shallow water system. In the framework of the Whitham modulation theory, an analytic solution of the Gurevich–Pitaevskii type of problem for a generic “cubic” breaking regime is obtained using a generalized hodograph transform, and a further reduction to a linear Eule...
متن کاملEvolution of solitary waves and undular bores in shallow-water flows over a gradual slope with bottom friction
This paper considers the propagation of shallow-water solitary and nonlinear periodic waves over a gradual slope with bottom friction in the framework of a variablecoefficient Korteweg–de Vries equation. We use the Whitham averaging method, using a recent development of this theory for perturbed integrable equations. This general approach enables us not only to improve known results on the adia...
متن کاملTranscritical shallow-water flow past topography: finite-amplitude theory
We consider shallow-water flow past a broad bottom ridge, localized in the flow direction, using the framework of the forced Su–Gardner (SG) system of equations, with a primary focus on the transcritical regime when the Froude number of the oncoming flow is close to unity. These equations are an asymptotic long-wave approximation of the full Euler system, obtained without a simultaneous expansi...
