A novel energy-bounded Boussinesq model and a well balanced and stable numerical discretisation (2302.09924v1)

Abstract: In this work, a novel Boussinesq system is put forward. The system is naturally nonlinearly entropy/energy-stable, and is designed for problems with sharply varying bathymetric features. The system is flexible and allows tuning of the dispersive parameters to the relevant wavenumber range of the problem at hand. We present a few such parameter sets, including one that tracks the dispersive relation of the underlying Euler equations up to a nondimensional wavenumber of about $30$. In the one-dimensional case, we design a stable finite-volume scheme and demonstrate its robustness and accuracy in a suite of test problems including Dingemans's wave experiment. We generalise the system to the two-dimensional case and sketch how the numerical scheme can be straightforwardly generalised.
