We consider Euler equations with stratified background state that is valid for internal water waves. The solution of the initial-boundary problem for Boussinesq approximation in the waveguide mode is presented in terms of the stream function. The orthogonal eigenfunctions describe a vertical shape of the internal wave modes and satisfy a Sturm-Liouville problem. The horizontal profile is define...

We extend earlier work on traveling waves in premixed flames in a gravitationally stratified medium, subject to the Boussinesq approximation. For threedimensional channels not aligned with the gravity direction and under the Dirichlet boundary conditions in the fluid velocity, it is shown that a non-planar traveling wave, corresponding to a non-zero reaction, exists, under an explicit condition...

In this paper we deal with the long time existence for the Cauchy problem associated to some asymptotic models for long wave, small amplitude gravity surface water waves. We generalize some of the results that can be found in the literature devoted to the study of Boussinesq systems by implementing an energy method on spectrally localized equations. In particular, we obtain better results in te...

Historically the finite volumemethods have been developed for the numerical integration of conservation laws. In this study we present some recent results on the application of such schemes to dispersive PDEs. Namely, we solve numerically a representative of Boussinesq type equations in view of important applications to the coastal hydrodynamics. Numerical results of the runup of a moderate wav...

We consider a weakly nonlinear solution of the Cauchy problem for the regularised Boussinesq equation, which constitutes an extension of the classical d’Alembert’s formula for the linear wave equation. The solution is given by a simple and explicit formula, expressed in terms of two special functions solving the initial-value problems for two Korteweg-de Vries equations. We test the formula by ...

This paper is a study of the problem of nonlinear wave motion of the free surface of a body of fluid with a periodically varying bottom. The object is to describe the character of wave propagation in a long-wave asymptotic regime, extending the results of R. Rosales & G. Papanicolaou (1983 Stud. Appl. Math. 68, 89–102) on periodic bottoms for two-dimensional flows. We take the point of view of ...

Intermediate-depth, Boussinesq-type modelling is used to generalize previously known results for surface water waves propagating over arbitrarily shaped topographies. The improved reduced wave model is obtained after studying how small changes in the linear dispersion relation (over a flat bottom) can become dramatically important in the presence of a highly fluctuating topography. Numerical va...

We describe in this work a discontinuous-Galerkin Finite-Element method to approximate the solutions of a new family of 1d Green-Naghdi models. These new models are shown to be more computationally efficient, while being asymptotically equivalent to the initial formulation with regard to the shallowness parameter. Using the free surface instead of the water height as a conservative variable, th...

We show that we can also apply the Hirota method to some nonintegrable equations. For this purpose, we consider the extensions of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) and the Boussinesq (Bo) equations. We present several solutions of these equations.

Atmospheric gravity waves play fundamental roles in a broad-range of dynamical processes extending throughout the Earth’s neutral atmosphere and ionosphere. In this paper, we present a modified form for the acoustic-gravity wave equation and its dispersion relationships for a compressible and non-stationary atmosphere in hydrostatic balance. Importantly, the solutions have been achieved without...
