Rigorous estimates on mechanical balance laws in the Boussinesq-Peregrine equations (Q6558229)

The authors study the motion of an ideal fluid with free surface boundary conditions, propagating in \( \mathbb{R}^3 \) along one direction. In the first section, they recall the formulation of dimensionless water-waves problem depending on a real parameter \(\varepsilon\) which represents the ratio between a typical wave amplitude and the mean water depth. Here, the regime of small \( \varepsilon\) is considered. They show that modulo \( O(\varepsilon^2)\) the problem can be formulated as a dimensionless Boussinesq-Peregrine system of equations. Then, they study densities and fluxes for the mass, momentum, energies for the Boussinesq-Peregrine system. This allows to derive approximate mechanical balance and energy conservation laws for the initial problem.\N\NThe paper is quite well written and accessible to all mathematicians interesting in PDE theory.
