Mathematical Models and Computer Simulations Aims and scope

Abstract

We briefly describe laboratory experiments demonstrating wind-water solitary wave generation in a wind-water annular tunnel. A mathematical model of this phenomenon is constructed in the context of a shallow-water approximation. The finite-difference algorithm for solving the system is based on regularized shallow-water equations. For the first time, we obtain a numerical solution of the wind-water solitary wave that is qualitatively consistent with the experimental data.
