The authors consider a model of shallow water and find its numerical solution. Calculations are carried out on a curvilinear mesh which is adapted for a complicated form of a coast and depends on a solution in the sense that the mesh is not uniform, it is condensed in zones where peculiarities of the solution are located. As a model, the authors choose the nonlinear dispersive model of Zheleznyak-Pelinovskij with the acceleration as a new dependent variable. The numerical algorithm consists in successive solution of, first, elliptic equations at each time step and, next, a hyperbolic system with the right-hand side depending on space derivatives only. The von Neumann problem that appears while constructing the elliptic equations is solved by the finite difference scheme ``oblique cross'' with a selfadjoint and positive operator. The authors claim that this method can be used for numerical interaction between a single wave and a plane vertical wall and for modeling a flow from a reservoir through a ruined dam. They show the efficiency, reliability, and economic feasibility of the method.
