We use a Hamiltonian normal form approach to study the dynamics of the water wave problem in the small amplitude long wave regime (KdV regime). If $\mu$ is the small parameter corresponding to the inverse of the wave length, we show that…

A reduced dynamical model is derived which describes the interaction of weak inertia-gravity waves with nonlinear vortical motion in the context of rotating shallow-water flow. The formal scaling assumptions are (i) that there is a…
