Existence of permanent and breaking waves for a shallow water equation : a geometric approach

Adrian Constantin (2000)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

The existence of global solutions and the phenomenon of blow-up of a solution in finite time for a recently derived shallow water equation are studied. We prove that the only way a classical solution could blow-up is as a breaking wave for which we determine the exact blow-up rate and, in some cases, the blow-up set. Using the correspondence between the shallow water equation and the geodesic flow on the manifold of diffeomorphisms of the line endowed with a weak Riemannian structure, we give sufficient...

Finite element solution of flows through cascades of profiles in a layer of variable thickness

Miloslav Feistauer, Jiří Felcman, Zdeněk Vlášek (1986)

Aplikace matematiky

The paper is devoted to the numerical modelling of a subsonic irrotational nonviscous flow past a cascade of profiles in a variable thickness fluid layer. It leads to a nonlinear two-dimensional elliptic problem with nonstandard nonhomogeneous boundary conditions. The problem is discretized by the finite element method. Both theoretical and practical questions of the finite element implementation are studied; convergence of the method, numerical integration, iterative methods for the solution of...

Gaussian measures associated to the higher order conservation laws of the Benjamin-Ono equation

Nikolay Tzvetkov, Nicola Visciglia (2013)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Inspired by the work of Zhidkov on the KdV equation, we perform a construction of weighted Gaussian measures associated to the higher order conservation laws of the Benjamin-Ono equation. The resulting measures are supported by Sobolev spaces of increasing regularity. We also prove a property on the support of these measures leading to the conjecture that they are indeed invariant by the flow of the Benjamin-Ono equation.

Geometrodynamics of some non-relativistic incompressible fluids.

Agostino Pràstaro (1979)

Stochastica

In some previous papers [1, 2] we proposed a geometric formulation of continuum mechanics, where a continuous body is seen as a suitable differentiable fiber bundle C on the Galilean space-time M, beside a differential equation of order k, Ek(C), on C and the assignement of a frame Psi on M. This approach allowed us to treat continuum mechanics as a unitary field theory and to consider constitutive and dynamical properties in a more natural way. Further, the particular intrinsic geometrical framework...

Guided waves in a fluid layer on an elastic irregular bottom.

Andrés Fraguela Collar (1996)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

In this paper one considers the linearized problem to determine the movement of an ideal heavy fluid contained in an unbounded container withelastic walls. As initial data one knows the movement of both the bottom and the free surface of the fluid and also the strength of certain perturbation, strong enough to take the bottom out of its rest state.One important point to be considered regards the influence of the bottom’s geometry on the propagation of superficial waves. This problem has been already...
