Lie symmetry analysis is applied to study the nonlinear rotating shallow water equations. The 9-dimensional Lie algebra of point symmetries admitted by the model is found. It is shown that the rotating shallow water equations are related…
We review the properties of the nonlinearly dispersive Navier-Stokes-alpha (NS-alpha) model of incompressible fluid turbulence -- also called the viscous Camassa-Holm equations and the LANS equations in the literature. We first re-derive…
Vortical flows in shallow water interact with long surface waves by virtue of the nonlinear terms of the fluid equations. Analytical formulae are derived that quantify the spontaneous generation of such waves by unsteady vorticity as well…
We study numerically the generation of power laws in the framework of weak turbulence theory for surface gravity waves in deep water. Starting from a random wave field, we let the system evolve numerically according to the nonlinear Euler…
The runup of tsunami waves on the coasts of the barrow bays, channels and straits is studied in the framework of the nonlinear shallow water theory. Using the narrowness of the water channel, the one-dimensional equations are applied; they…
The paper takles a procedure which allow to extend some linear, wave type equations to the study of nonlinear models. More concretely, we present a practical way to generate the largest class of a given form of second order differential…
Currents can affect the evolution of waves in nearshore regions through altering their wavenumber and amplitude. Including the effect of ambient currents (e.g., tidal and wind-driven) on waves in phase-resolving wave models is not…
Here we discuss some issues concerning the statistical properties of ocean surface waves. We show that, using the approach of weak turbulence theory, deviations from Gaussian statistics can be naturally included. In particular we discuss…
The search for solutions to the theory of weakly non-linear internal gravity wave turbulence is an active research topic. It is notably stimulated by the fact that this regime could drive fine-scale ocean dynamics for which the…
We investigate here the ability of a Green-Naghdi model to reproduce strongly nonlinear and dispersive wave propagation. We test in particular the behavior of the new hybrid finite-volume and finite-difference splitting approach recently…
The mathematical models and numerical simulations reported here are motivated by satellite observations of horizontal gradients of sea surface temperature and salinity that are closely coordinated with the slowly varying envelope of the…
We consider the asymptotic behaviour of small-amplitude gravity water waves in a rectangular domain where the water depth is much smaller than the horizontal scale. The control acts on one lateral boundary, by imposing the horizontal…
Predictions of the wave-induced response of floating structures that are moored in a harbour or coastal waters require an accurate description of the (nonlinear) evolution of waves over variable bottom topography, the interactions of the…
In this paper we derive, by means of $\Gamma$-convergence, the shallow shell models starting from non linear three dimensional elasticity. We use the approach analogous to the one for shells and plates. We start from the minimization…

This paper aims to give a refined wave breaking description of the Cauchy problem to the one-dimensional nonlinear shallow water equations providing a sharp estimate of the lifespan of the solutions depending on the amplitude and topography…
The shear shallow water model provides an approximation for shallow water flows by including the effect of vertical shear in the model. This model can be derived from the depth averaging process by including the second order velocity…
In this thesis we consider the free surface flow due to a submerged source in a channel of finite depth. This problem has been considered previously in the literature, with some disagreement about whether or not a train of waves exist on…
There is growing physical and mathematical interest in the hydrodynamics of dissipationless/dispersive media. Since G.~B.~Whitham's seminal publication fifty years ago that ushered in the mathematical study of dispersive hydrodynamics,…
Two methods to treat wave breaking in the framework of the Hamiltonian formulation of free-surface potential flow are presented, tested, and validated. The first is an extension of Kennedy et al (2000)'s eddy-viscosity approach originally…
