Title: Exact and asymptotic solutions of a system of nonlinear shallow water equations in basins with gentle shores

Abstract:
We suggest an effective approximate method for constructing solutions to problems with a free boundary for 1-D and 2-D-systems of nonlinear shallow water equations in basins with gentle shores. The method is a modification (and pragmatic simplification) of the Carrier-Greenspan transformation in the theory of 1-D shallow water over a flat sloping bottom. The result is as follows: approximate solutions of nonlinear equations are expressed through solutions of naively linearized equations via parametrically defined functions. This allows us to describe the effects of waves run-up on a shore and their splash. Among the applications we can mention tsunami waves, seiches and coastal waves. We also present a comparison of the obtained formulas with the V.A. Kalinichenko (Institute for Problems in Mechanics RAS) experiment with standing Faraday waves in an extended basin with gently sloping shores.
