Onde di ampiezza finita in contenitori oscillanti verticalmente
Surface waves of finite amplitude originated by the vertical oscillations of a container are studied. The existence of both supercritical and subcritical waves is found which are either synchronous or subharmonic with respect to the basic oscillation.

Radiation conditions at the top of a rotational cusp in the theory of water-waves
We study the linearized water-wave problem in a bounded domain (e.g.a finite pond of water) of , having a cuspidal boundary irregularity created by a submerged body. In earlier publications the authors discovered that in this situation the spectrum of the problem may contain a continuous component in spite of the boundedness of the domain. Here, we proceed to impose and study radiation conditions at a point of the water surface, where a submerged body touches the surface (see Fig. 1). The radiation...

Regularity and Blow up for Active Scalars
We review some recent results for a class of fluid mechanics equations called active scalars, with fractional dissipation. Our main examples are the surface quasi-geostrophic equation, the Burgers equation, and the Cordoba-Cordoba-Fontelos model. We discuss nonlocal maximum principle methods which allow to prove existence of global regular solutions for the critical dissipation. We also recall what is known about the possibility of finite time blow...
Remarks on the equatorial shallow water system
This article recalls the results given by A. Dutrifoy, A. Majda and S. Schochet in [1] in which they prove an uniform estimate of the system as well as the convergence to a global solution of the long wave equations as the Froud number tends to zero. Then, we will prove the convergence with weaker hypothesis and show that the life span of the solutions tends to infinity as the Froud number tends to zero.
Rigorous derivation of Korteweg-de Vries-type systems from a general class of nonlinear hyperbolic systems
Rigorous derivation of Korteweg-de Vries-type systems from a general class of nonlinear hyperbolic systems
In this paper, we study the long wave approximation for quasilinear symmetric hyperbolic systems. Using the technics developed by Joly-Métivier-Rauch for nonlinear geometrical optics, we prove that under suitable assumptions the long wave limit is described by KdV-type systems. The error estimate if the system is coupled appears to be better. We apply formally our technics to Euler equations with free surface and Euler-Poisson systems. This leads to new systems of KdV-type.
Roe Scheme for Two-layer Shallow Water Equations: Application to the Strait of Gibraltar
The flow trough the Strait of Gibraltar could be analyzed as a problem of two-layer hydraulic exchange between the Atlantic ocean and the Mediterranean sea. The shallow water equations in both layers coupled together are an important tool to simulate this phenomenon. In this paper we perform an upwind schemes for hyperbolic equations based on the Roe approximate Riemann solver, to study the resulting model. The main goal assigned was to predict the location of the interface between the two layers....
Scattering of small solutions of a symmetric regularized-long-wave equation
We study the decay in time of solutions of a symmetric regularized-long-wave equation and we show that under some restriction on the form of nonlinearity, the solutions of the nonlinear equation have the same long time behavior as those of the linear equation. This behavior allows us to establish a nonlinear scattering result for small perturbations.
