A Lagrangian for water waves
نویسنده
چکیده
A Lagrangian for strongly nonlinear unsteady water waves ~including overturning waves! is obtained. It is shown that the system of quadratic equations for the Stokes coefficients, which determine the shape of a steady wave ~discovered by Longuet-Higgins 100 years after Stokes derived his system of cubic equations! directly follows from the canonical system of Lagrange equations. Applications to the investigation of the stability of water waves and to the construction of numerical schemes are pointed out. © 1996 American Institute of Physics. @S1070-6631~96!03002-7#

Numerical Modeling of water-waves induced by landslides with WC-MPS method
The rapid movement of sediments, which is often induced by a very erosive and transient flow in rivers and rivers, causes a lot of geomorphology and engineering problems. Failure of the dam with a moving bed, submerged landslide, sedimentation flushing in reservoirs are just a few examples of these problems. The study of waves is challenging due to the interference of several complex physical p...

In order to investigate corrections to the common KdV approximation for surface water waves in a canal, we derive modulation equations for the evolution of long wavelength initial data. We work in Lagrangian coordinates. The equations which govern corrections to the KdV approximation consist of linearized and inhomogeneous KdV equations plus an inhomogeneous wave equation. These equations are e...
