This paper concerns the results recently announced by the authors, in C.R. Acad. Sciences Maths volume 357, Issue 1, 1-6 (2019), which make the link between the BD entropy introduced by D. Bresch and B. Desjardins for the viscous shallow-water equations and the Bernis-Friedman (called BF in our paper) dissipative entropy introduced to study the lubrication equations. More precisely different dissipative BF entropies are obtained from the BD entropies playing with drag terms and capillarity formula for viscous shallow water type equations. This is the main idea in the paper which makes the link between two communities. The limit processes employ the standard compactness arguments taking care of the control in the drag terms. It allows in one dimension for instance to prove global existence of nonnegative weak solutions for lubrication equations starting from the global existence of nonnegative weak solutions for appropriate viscous shallow-water equations (for which we refer to appropriate references). It also allows to prove global existence of nonnegative weak solutions for fourth-order equation including the Derrida-Lebowitz-Speer-Spohn equation starting from compressible Navier-Stokes type equations.

AbstractWe present a new Finite Volume Evolution Galerkin (FVEG) scheme for the solution of the shallow water equations (SWE) with the bottom topography as a source term. Our new scheme will be based on the FVEG methods presented in (Noelle and Kraft, J. Comp. Phys., 221 (2007)), but adds the possibility to handle dry boundaries. The most important aspect is to preserve the positivity of the water height. We present a general approach to ensure this for arbitrary finite volume schemes. The main idea is to limit the outgoing fluxes of a cell whenever they would create negative water height. Physically, this corresponds to the absence of fluxes in the presence of vacuum. Wellbalancing is then re-established by splitting gravitational and gravity driven parts of the flux. Moreover, a new entropy fix is introduced that improves the reproduction of sonic rarefaction waves.

Nearly all analytical models of lock-exchange flow are based on the shallow-water approximation. Since the latter approximation fails at the leading edges of the mutually intruding fluids of lock-exchange flow, solutions to the shallow-water equations can be obtained only through the specification of front conditions. In the present paper, analytic solutions to the shallow-water equations for non-Boussinesq lock-exchange flow are given for front conditions deriving from free-boundary arguments. Analytic solutions are also derived for other proposed front conditions – conditions which appear to the shallow-water system as forced boundary conditions. Both solutions to the shallow-water equations are compared with the numerical solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations and a mixture of successes and failures is recorded. The apparent success of some aspects of the forced solutions of the shallow-water equations, together with the fact that in a real fluid the density interface is a free boundary, shows the need for an improved theory of lock-exchange flow taking into account non-hydrostatic effects for density interfaces intersecting rigid boundaries.

This paper proposes some formulations of weak local residuals of shallow-water-type equations, namely, one-, one-and-a-half-, and two-dimensional shallow water equations. Smooth parts of numerical solutions have small absolute values of weak local residuals. Rougher parts of numerical solutions have larger absolute values of weak local residuals. This behaviour enables the weak local residuals to detect parts of numerical solutions which are smooth and rough (non-smooth). Weak local residuals that we formulate are implemented successfully as refinement or coarsening indicators for adaptive mesh finite volume methods used to solve shallow water equations.
