After we derive the Serre system of equations water wave theory from a generalized variational principle, present some its structural properties. We also propose robust and accurate finite volume scheme to solve these in one horizontal dimension. The numerical discretization is validated by comparisons with analytical experimental data or other solutions obtained highly pseudo-spectral method.

In this paper, the unsteady evolution of two-dimensional fully nonlinear free-surface gravity–capillary solitary waves is computed numerically in infinite depth. Gravity–capillary wavepacket-type were found previously for full Euler equations, bifurcating from minimum linear dispersion relation. Small and moderate amplitude elevation waves, which known to be linearly unstable, are shown evolve into stable depression together with a radiated wave field. Depression certain large robust...

A droplet may ‘walk’ across the surface of a vertically vibrating bath same fluid, due to propulsive interaction with its wave field. This hydrodynamic pilot-wave system exhibits many dynamics previously believed exist only in quantum realm. Starting from first principles, we derive discrete-time fluid model, whereby bath–droplet interactions are modelled as instantaneous. By analysing stability fixed points system, explain walking and capture quantisations for multiple-droplet interactions....

Steady periodic and solitary waves propagating in a 2D fluid bounded above by flexible sheet—which may be viewed as modelling an ice sheet—are considered deep water. The non-linear elastic model is based on the special Cosserat theory of hyperelastic shells proposed Toland (2008, hydroelastic waves. Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal., 189, 325–362) for this problem. Numerical solutions are computed via conformal mapping pseudo-spectral method. New found using continuation method to follow branch...

Abstract The dynamics of solitary gravity–capillary water waves propagating on the surface a three-dimensional fluid domain is studied numerically. In order to accurately compute complex time-dependent solutions, we simplify full potential flow problem by using variables and taking particular cubic truncation possessing Hamiltonian with desirable properties.

Results using linear two nonlinear models compared. The stability these wave solutions...
