Derivation and mathematical analysis of a nonlocal model for large amplitude internal waves

David Lannes

Séminaire Équations aux dérivées partielles

This note is devoted to the study of a bi-fluid generalization of the nonlinear shallow-water equations. It describes the evolution of the interface between two fluids of different densities. In the case of a two-dimensional interface, this systems contains unexpected nonlocal terms (that are of course not present in the usual one-fluid shallow water equations). We show here how to derive this systems from the two-fluid Euler equations and then show that it is locally well-posed.

Focusing of a pulse with arbitrary phase shift for a nonlinear wave equation

Rémi Carles;  David Lannes — 2003

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

We consider a system of two linear conservative wave equations, with a nonlinear coupling, in space dimension three. Spherical pulse like initial data cause focusing at the origin in the limit of short wavelength. Because the equations are conservative, the caustic crossing is not trivial, and we analyze it for particular initial data. It turns out that the phase shift between the incoming wave (before the focus) and the outgoing wave (past the focus) behaves like ln ε , where ε stands for the wavelength....
