Exact solutions of the two dimensional nonlinear shallow water wave equations for flow involving linear bottom friction and with no forcing are found for flow above parabolic bottom topography. These solutions also involve moving shorelines. The motion decays over time. In the solution of the three simultaneous nonlinear partial differential shallow water wave equations it is assumed that the velocity is a function of time only and along one axis. This assumption reduces C374 the three simultaneous nonlinear partial differential equations to two simultaneous linear ordinary differential equations . The solutions found are useful for testing numerical solutions of the nonlinear shallow water wave equations which include bottom friction and whose flow involves moving shorelines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
