Perturbation Propagation in a Thin Layer of a Viscosity-Stratified Fluid

Аннотация

We consider a nonlinear system of equations governing the motion of a viscosity-layered fluid with a free surface in long-wave approximation. Using the semi-Lagrangian coordinates, we rewrite the governing equations in the integro-differential form and obtain necessary and sufficient hyperbolicity conditions. We approximate the integro-differential model by a finite-dimensional system of differential conservation laws and propose a model of propagation of nonlinear perturbations in a viscosity-stratified fluid.
