Abstract
Under the shallow-water regime and without assuming wave amplitude smallness, we apply the variational approach in the Lagrangian formalism to derive the geophysical Green-Naghdi system. In contrast to the prior derivation in (Fan et al., J. Nonlinear Sci., 32(21), 30 (2022)) that imposed a columnar-flow Ansatz, our method adopts the irrotational-flow assumption (which Fan et al., J. Nonlinear Sci., 32(21), 30 (2022) does not), thereby generating the depth-independent horizontal velocity at leading order.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Mathematical Fluid Mechanics (JMFM)is a forum for the publication of high-quality peer-reviewed papers on the mathematical theory of fluid mechanics, with special regards to the Navier-Stokes equations. As an important part of that, the journal encourages papers dealing with mathematical aspects of computational theory, as well as with applications in science and engineering. The journal also publishes in related areas of mathematics that have a direct bearing on the mathematical theory of fluid mechanics. All papers will be characterized by originality and mathematical rigor. For a paper to be accepted, it is not enough that it contains original results. In fact, results should be highly relevant to the mathematical theory of fluid mechanics, and meet a wide readership.
