On discontinuous periodic solutions and discontinuous solitary waves of two-dimensional shallow water equations (Q580074)

We discuss discontinuous periodic solution and discontinuous solitary wave of the shallow water model of geophysical fluid dynamics. When we consider the properties of trajectory near non-equilibrium point, i.e. singular point, we find that if we introduce the concept of generalized solution (piecewise smooth continuous solution), then the system will produce discontinuous periodic solution and the condition of discontinuous periodic solution can be obtained. When the system is degenerated, we find that the discontinuous solitary wave is existent in the system. In this paper we consider a series of problems and obtain analytic expression of discontinuous solution. This result is compared with squall line in the atmosphere, and both of them have many things in common.
