Remarks on dispersion-improved shallow water equations with uneven bottom
Résumé
It is shown that asymptotically consistent modifications of (Boussinesq-like) shallow water approximations, in order to improve their dispersive properties, can fail for uneven bottoms (i.e., the dispersion is actually not improved). It is also shown that these modifications can lead to ill-posed equations when the water depth is not constant. These drawbacks are illustrated with the (fully nonlinear, weakly dispersive) Serre equations. We also derive asymptotically consistent, well-posed, modified Serre equations with improved dispersive properties for constant slopes of the bottom.
