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 them is the Galilean…

We use numerical methods to study the behaviour of the Serre equations in the presence of steep gradients because there are no known analytical solutions for these problems. In keeping with the literature we study a class of initial…
In this paper, we first revisit the celebrated Boussinesq approximation in stratified flows. Using scaling arguments we show that when the background shear is weak, the Boussinesq approximation yields either (i) $A_t\ll \mathcal{O}(1)$ or…
In this study, we propose an improved version of the nonlinear shallow water (or Saint-Venant) equations. This new model is designed to take into account the effects resulting from the large spacial and/or temporal variations of the seabed.…
We consider the 2D Boussinesq equations with a velocity damping term in a strip $\mathbb{T}\times[-1,1]$, with impermeable walls. In this physical scenario, where the \textit{Boussinesq approximation} is accurate when density/temperature…
We propose a shallow water model which combines the dispersion relation of water waves and the Boussinesq equations, and which extends the Whitham equation to permit bidirectional propagation. We establish that its sufficiently small,…
We regard the Cauchy problem for a particular Whitham-Boussinesq system modelling surface waves of an inviscid incompressible fluid layer. The system can be seen as a weak nonlocal dispersive perturbation of the shallow water system. The…
We regard the Cauchy problem for a particular Whitham-Boussinesq system modelling surface waves of an inviscid incompressible fluid layer. We are interested in well-posedness at a very low level of regularity. We derive dispersive and…
The aim of this communication is to present a simplified, yet rigorous, deduction of the Boussinesq approximated governing equations for buoyant flows. In order to carry out the core deduction procedure, a simplified version of the manifold…
We show that the semi-implicit time discretization approaches previously introduced for multilayer shallow water models for the barotropic case can be also applied to the variable density case with Boussinesq approximation. Furthermore,…
In this study, the numerical analysis of a specific fluid-solid interaction problem is detailed. The weakly nonlinear Boussinesq system is considered with the addition of a solid object lying on the flat bottom, allowed to move horizontally…
A formally second order correct Boussinesq-type equation that describes unidirectional shallow water waves is derived, $$u_{tt} - u_{xx} - u_{xxxx} - u_{xxxxxx} - (u^2)_{xx} - (u^2)_{xxxx} - (uu_{xx})_{xx} - (u^3)_{xx} = 0.$$ Such equation…
We consider the periodic dispersion generalized Benjamin-Ono equations with polynomial nonlinearity. We establish the nonlinear smoothing properties of these equations, according to which the difference between the solution and the linear…

In this paper we focus on the water waves problem for uneven bottoms on a two-dimensionnal domain. Starting from the symmetric Boussinesq systems derived in [Chazel, Influence of topography on long water waves, 2007], we recover the…
In this paper, we review the history and current state-of-the-art in the modelling of long nonlinear dispersive waves. For the sake of conciseness of this review, we omit the unidirectional models and focus especially on some classical and…
We modify the nonlinear shallow water equations, the Korteweg-de Vries equation, and the Whitham equation, to permit constant vorticity, and examine wave breaking, or the lack thereof. By wave breaking, we mean that the solution remains…
We derive and analyze in the framework of the mild-slope approximation a new double-layer Boussinesq-type model which is linearly and nonlinearly accurate up to deep water. Assuming the flow to be irrotational, we formulate the problem in…
A new regularisation of the shallow water (and isentropic Euler) equations is proposed. The regularised equations are non-dissipative, non-dispersive and possess a variational structure. Thus, the mass, the momentum and the energy are…
