Oscillatory and regularized shock waves for a modified Serre-Green-Naghdi system
Abstract
The Serre-Green-Naghdi equations of water wave theory have been widely employed to study undular bores. In this study, we introduce a modified Serre-Green-Naghdi system incorporating the effect of an artificial term that results in dispersive and dissipative dynamics. We show that, over sufficiently extended time intervals, effectively approximates the classical Serre-Green-Naghdi equations and admits dispersive-diffusive shock waves as traveling wave solutions. The traveling waves converge to the entropic shock wave solution of the shallow water equations when the dispersion and diffusion approach zero in a moderate dispersion regime. These findings contribute to an understanding of the formation of dispersive shock waves in the classical Serre-Green-Naghdi equations and the effects of diffusion in the generation and propagation of undular bores.
