Abstract

This paper explores several asymptotic limit regimes for shallow water flows over multiscale topography. Depending on the length and time scales considered and on the characteristic water depth and height of topography, a variety of mathematically quite different asymptotic limit systems emerges. Specifically, we recover the classical “lake equations” for balanced flow without gravity waves in the single time, single space scale limit (Greenspan, Cambridge Univ. Press, (1968)), discuss a weakly nonlinear and a strongly nonlinear multi-scale version of these wave-free equations involving short-range topography, and we re-derive the equations for long-wave shallow water waves passing over short-range topography by Le Maître et al., JCP (2001)
