Abstract: The theory of 3-layer density stratified ideal fluids is examined with a view towards its generalization to the n-layer case. The focus is on structural properties, especially for the case of a rigid upper lid constraint. We show that the long-wave dispersionless limit is a system of quasi-linear equations that do not admit Riemann invariants. We equip the layer-averaged one-dimensional model with a natural Hamiltonian structure, obtained with a suitable reduction process from the continuous density stratification structure of the full two-dimensional equations proposed by Benjamin. For a a laterally unbounded fluid between horizontal rigid boundaries, the paradox about the non-conservation of horizontal total momentum is revisited, and it is shown that the pressure imbalances causing it can be intensified by three-layer setups with respect to their two-layer counterparts. The generator of the x-translational symmetry in the n-layer setup is also identified by the appropriate Hamiltonian formalism. The Boussinesq limit and a family of special solutions recently introduced by de Melo Virissimo and Milewski are also discussed.

Review text

The authors study some structural properties of three-layer stratified incompressible Euler flows in the long-wave regime, especially for the case of a rigid upper lid constraint. The authors deduce that the long-wave dispersionless limit satisfies a system of quasi-linear equations, and further prove explicitly that the reduced system does not admit Riemann invariants. The phenomenon of effective pressure differentials implying the ``paradox of non-conservation of the horizontal momentum was first noticed by \textit{R. Camassa} et al. [J. Fluid Mech. 695, 330--340 (2012; Zbl 1250.76049)] in the two-layer case, and is proved to persist for an \(n\)-layered situation, with $n\geq 3$, and even be enhanced in some sense, for zero initial velocities, by scaling linearly with density differences, as opposed to quadratically as in the two-layer case. A natural Hamiltonian structure on the configuration spaces of effective three-layered fluid motions was derived by means of a geometric reduction process from the full two-dimensional Hamiltonian structure introduced by \textit{T. B. Benjamin} [J. Fluid Mech. 165, 445--474 (1986; Zbl 0595.76023)]. By using the canonical formalism, the Boussinesq limit and its solution with some special symmetries are discussed.
