Abstract:We applied the perturbative theory to perform sensitivity analysis of the shallow water equations. The numerical solution of these equations was found via the mass lumping finite element technique. Then, the adjoint system of the shallow water equations was derived for the one-dimensional case and the expression of the sensitivity coefficient of a generic functional with respect to a generic parameter (Chézy resistance coefficient, solitary wave amplitude and bed channel slope) was obtained, using the differen… Show more
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.
