Numerical study of the Serre-Green-Naghdi equations and a fully dispersive counterpart (Q2169032)

The present papers is concerned essentially on developing a numerical study of the well-known SGN equations in a framework of a fully dispersive WGN counterpart in one-dimensional case, motivated by the possibility of extracting information on the role of dispersive properties for SGN-WGN models. Recall that these models are widely applied as good describers for many natural problems such as the propagation of surface gravity waves in coastal oceanography already discussed in the paper. In the present paper, the authors investigate the SGN and WGN equations in some extreme cases due to features and stability of solitary waves with large height and large velocity, and steep gradients solutions. Solitary wave solutions, their stability, with the explicit ones, and the emergence of modulated oscillations and the possibility blow-up are investigated. The main method is based on a combination of Fourier spectral method with Krylov subspace iterative technique leading to the study of an associated elliptic problem and an explicit Runge-Kutta scheme in time.
