In this paper, we study various dissipative mechanics associated with the Boussinesq systems which model two-dimensional small amplitude long wavelength water waves. We will show that the decay rate for the damped one-directional model equations, such as the KdV and BBM equations, holds for some of the damped Boussinesq systems.

A novel parallel technique for Fourier-Galerkin pseudo-spectral methods with applications to two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations and inviscid Boussinesq approximation equations is presented. It takes the advantage of the programming structure of the phase-shift de-aliased scheme for pseudo-spectral codes, and combines the task-distribution strategy [Yin, Clercx and Montgomery, Comput. Fluid...

Exact solutions of the dispersive water wave and modified Boussinesq equations are expressed in terms of special polynomials associated with rational solutions of the fourth Painlevé equation, which arises as generalized scaling reductions of these equations. Generalized solutions that involve an infinite sequence of arbitrary constants are also derived which are analogues of generalized ration...

The Serre or Green and Naghdi equations are fully-nonlinear and weakly dispersive and have a built-in assumption of irrotationality. However, like the standard Boussinesq equations, also Serre’s equations are only valid for long waves in shallow waters. To allow applications in a greater range of h0/l, where h0 and l represent, respectively, depth and wavelength characteristics, a new set of ex...

Standard perturbation methods are applied to Euler’s equations of motion governing the capillary-gravity shallow water waves to derive a general higher-order Boussinesq equation involving the small-amplitude parameter, α = a/h0, and long-wavelength parameter, β = (h0/l), where a and l are the actual amplitude and wavelength of the surface wave, and h0 is the height of the undisturbed water surf...

Boussinesq systems of nonlinear partial differential equations are fundamental equations in geophysical fluid dynamics. In this paper, we use asymmetric ideas and moving frames to solve the two-dimensional Boussinesq equations with partial viscosity terms studied by Chae (Adv. Math. 203 (2006), 497-513) and the three-dimensional stratified rotating Boussinesq equations studied by Hsia, Ma and W...

We prove the global well-posedness of the viscous incompressible Boussinesq equations in two spatial dimensions for general initial data in Hm with m ≥ 3. It is known that when both the velocity and the density equations have finite positive viscosity, the Boussinesq system does not develop finite time singularities. We consider here the challenging case when viscosity enters only in the veloci...
