Derivation of a Viscous Serre–Green–Naghdi Equation: An Impasse?

摘要

In this article, we present the current status of the derivation of a viscous Serre–Green–Naghdi system. For this goal, the flow domain is separated into two regions. The upper region is governed by inviscid Euler equations, while the bottom region (the so-called boundary layer) is described by Navier–Stokes equations. We consider a particular regime binding the Reynolds number and the shallowness parameter. The computations presented in this article are performed in the fully nonlinear regime. The boundary layer flow reduces to a Prandtl-like equation that we claim to be irreducible. Further approximations are necessary to obtain a tractable model.
