We present a new Hamiltonian formulation for the non-linear evolution of surface gravity waves over a variable impermeable bottom. The derivation is based on Luke’s variational principle and the use of an exact (convergent up to the boundaries) infinite-series representation of the unknown wave potential, in terms of a system of prescribed vertical functions (explicitly dependent on the local depth and the local free-surface elevation) and unknown horizontal modal amplitudes. The key idea of this approach is the introduction of two unconventional modes ensuring a rapid convergence of the modal series. The fully nonlinear water-wave problem is reformulated as two evolution equations, essentially equivalent with the Zakharov-Craig-Sulem formulation. The Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator (DtN) over arbitrary bathymetry is determined by means of a few first modes, the two unconventional ones being most important. While this formulation is exact, its numerical implementation, even for general domains, is not much more involved than that of the various simplified models (Boussinesq, Green-Nagdhi) widely used in engineering applications. The efficiency of this formulation is demonstrated by the excellent agreement of the numerical and experimental results for the case of the classical Beji-Battjes experiment. A more complicated bathymetry is also studied.

AbstractWe are concerned here with an analysis of the nonlinear irrotational gravity water wave problem with a free surface over a water flow bounded below by a flat bed. We employ a new formulation involving an expression (called flow force) which contains pressure terms, thus having the potential to handle intricate surface dynamic boundary conditions. The proposed formulation neither requires the graph assumption of the free surface nor does require the absence of stagnation points. By way of this alternative approach we prove the existence of a local curve of solutions to the water wave problem with fixed flow force and more relaxed assumptions.

Abstract This paper deals with the abstract evolution equations in L s {L}^{s} -spaces with critical temporal weights. First, embedding and interpolation properties of the critical L s {L}^{s} -spaces with different exponents s s are investigated, then solvability of the linear evolution equation, attached to which the inhomogeneous term f f and its average Φ f \Phi f both lie in an L 1 / s s {L}_{1\hspace{-0.08em}\text{/}\hspace{-0.08em}s}^{s} -space, is established. Based on these results, Cauchy problem of the semi-linear evolution equation is treated, where the nonlinear operator F ( t , u ) F\left(t,u) has a growth number ρ ≥ s + 1 \rho \ge s+1 , and its asymptotic behavior acts like α ( t ) / t \alpha \left(t)\hspace{-0.1em}\text{/}\hspace{-0.1em}t as t → 0 t\to 0 for some bounded function α ( t ) \alpha \left(t) like ( − log t ) − p {\left(-\log t)}^{-p} with 2 ≤ p < ∞ 2\le p\lt \infty .
