We investigate a more general family of one-dimensional shallow water equations. Analogous to the Camassa-Holm equation, these new equations admit blow-up phenomenon and infinite propagation speed. First, we establish blow-up results for this family of equations under various classes of initial data. It turns out that it is the shape instead of the size and smoothness of the initial data which influences breakdown in finite time. Then, infinite propagation speed for the shallow water equations is proved in the following sense: the corresponding solutionu(t,x)with compactly supported initial datumu0(x)does not have compactx-support any longer in its lifespan.

We investigate a more general family of one-dimensional shallow water equations with a weakly dissipative term. First, we establish blow-up criteria for this family of equations. Then, global existence of the solution is also proved. Finally, we discuss the infinite propagation speed of this family of equations.

Abstract The local well-posedness for the Cauchy problem of a nonlinear shallow water equation is established. The wave-breaking mechanisms, global existence, and infinite propagation speed of solutions to the equation are derived under certain assumptions. In addition, the effects of coefficients λ, β, a, b, and index k in the equation are illustrated.

A one-dimensional hybrid numerical model is presented of a shallow-water flume with an incorporated piston paddle. The hybrid model is based on the improved Boussinesq equations by Madsen and Sorensen (1992) and the nonlinear shallow water equations. It is suitable for breaking and non-breaking waves and requires only two adjustable parameters: a friction coefficient and a wave breaking parameter. The applicability of the model is demonstrated by simulating laboratory experiments of solitary waves involving runup at a plane beach and overtopping of a laboratory seawall. The predicted free surface profiles, maximum runup and overtopping volumes agree very well with the measured values.

This paper is concerned with blow-up phenomena and persistence properties for an integrable two-component Dullin-Gottwald-Holm shallow water system. We give sufficient conditions on the initial data which guarantee blow-up phenomena of solutions in finite time for both periodic and nonperiodic cases, respectively. Furthermore, the persistence properties of solutions to the system are investigated.

It is known that an "explosive instability" can occur when nonlinear waves propagate in certain media that admit 3-wave mixing. In that context, three resonantly interacting wavetrains all gain energy from a background source, and all blow up together, in finite time. A recent paper [17] showed that explosive instabilities can occur even in media that admit no 3-wave mixing. Instead, the instability is caused by 4-wave mixing, and results in four resonantly interacting wavetrains all blowing up in finite time. In both cases, the instability occurs in systems with no dissipation. This paper reviews the earlier work, and shows that adding a common form of dissipation to the system, with either 3-wave or 4-wave mixing, provides an effective threshold for blow-up. Only initial data that exceed the respective thresholds blow up in finite time.

The present work is mainly concerned with the Dullin-Gottwald-Holm (DGH) equation with strong dissipative term. We establish some sufficient conditions to guarantee finite time blow-up of strong solutions.

This paper studies the wave-breaking mechanism and dynamical behavior of solutions near the explicit self-similar singularity for the two component Camassa–Holm equations, which can be regarded as a model for shallow water dynamics and arising from the approximation of the Hamiltonian for Euler’s equation in the shallow water regime.

In this paper, we study the finite-time singularity formation on the coupled Burgers–Constantin–Lax–Majda system with the nonlocal term, which is one nonlinear nonlocal system of combining Burgers equations with Constantin–Lax–Majda equations. We discuss whether the finite-time blow-up singularity mechanism of the system depends upon the domination between the CLM type’s vortex-stretching term and the Burgers type’s convection term in some sense. We give two kinds of different finite-time blow-up results and prove the local smooth solution of the nonlocal system blows up in finite time for two classes of large initial data.
