| Abstract: |
| We present a numerical study of solutions to equations appearing in the theory of surface waves, concretely Boussinesq systems (integrable and non-integrable examples) and Serre-Green-Naghdi (SGN) equations. Solitary waves in 1D are constructed, and there stability is studied numerically. The time evolution of localised initial data is explored. Of special interest is the role of the non-cavitation condition. The appearence of dispersive shock waves, zones of rapidly modulated oscillations, in the vicinity of shocks of the corresponding dispersionless systems is studied. In the context of the SGN equations, these questions are also addressed in 2D. |
