In this paper we deal with the long time existence for the Cauchy problem associated to BBM-type Boussinesq systems of equations which are asymptotic models for long wave, small amplitude gravity surface water waves. As opposed to previous papers devoted to the long time existence issue, we consider initial data with nontrivial behaviour at infinity which may be used to model bore propagation.

A method for generating waves in Boussinesq-type wave models is described. The method employs a source term added to the governing equations, either in the form of a mass source in the continuity equation or an applied pressure forcing in the momentum equations. Assuming linearity, we derive a transfer function which relates source amplitude to surface wave characteristics. We then test the mod...

The incompressible Boussinesq equations not only have many applications in modeling fluids and geophysical fluids but also are mathematically important. The well-posedness and related problem on the Boussinesq equations have recently attracted considerable interest. This paper examines the global regularity issue on the 2D Boussinesq equations with fractional Laplacian dissipation and thermal d...

This paper is concerned with the global well-posedness and inviscid limits of several systems of Boussinesq equations with fractional dissipation. Three main results are proven. The first result assesses the global regularity of two systems of equations close to the critical 2D Boussinesq equations. This is achieved by examining their inviscid limits. The second result relates the global regula...

The Boussinesq equation is a mathematics model of thermohydraulics, which consists of equations of fluid and temperature in the Boussinesq approximation.The deterministic case has been studied systematically by many authors (e.g., see [1– 3]). However, in many practical circumstances, small irregularity has to be taken into account.Thus, it is necessary to add to the equation a random force, wh...

We develop a robust Christov–Galerkin spectral technique for computing interacting localized wave solutions of and fourth and sixth-order generalized wave equations. To this end, a special complete orthonormal system of functions in Lð 1;1Þ is used whose rate of convergence is shown to be exponential for the cases under consideration. For the time-stepping, an implicit algorithm is chosen which...

The system is called a Benjamin-Ono-Boussinesq system because it can be reduced to a pair of equations whose linearization uncouples to a pair of linear Benjamin-Ono equations. Equations of type (1.1) are a class of essential model equations appearing in physics and fluid mechanics. To describe two-dimensional irrotational flows of an inviscid liquid in a uniform rectangular channel, Boussinesq...

We study here instability problems of standing waves for the nonlinear Klein–Gordon equations and solitary waves for the generalized Boussinesq equations. It is shown that those special wave solutions may be strongly unstable by blowup in finite time, depending on the range of the wave’s frequency or the wave’s speed of propagation and on the nonlinearity. © 2006 Elsevier Masson SAS.

Surface water waves in ideal fluids have been typically modeled by asymptotic approximations of the full Euler equations. Some of these simplified models lose relevant properties of the full water wave problem. One of these properties is the Galilean symmetry, i.e. the invariance under Galilean transformations. In this paper, a mechanism to incorporate Galilean invariance in classical water wav...

On the basis of the computer symbolic system Maple and the extended hyperbolic function method, we develop a more mathematically rigorous and systematic procedure for constructing exact solitary wave solutions and exact periodic traveling wave solutions in triangle form of various nonlinear partial differential equations that are with physical backgrounds. Compared with the existing methods, th...
