Abstract

Mathematics Mathematics, Applied Physical Sciences Science & Technology
The water wave equations of ideal free-surface fluid mechanics are a fundamental model of open ocean movements with a surprisingly subtle well-posedness theory. In consequence of both theoretical and computational difficulties with the full water wave equations, various asymptotic approximations have been proposed, analyzed and used in practical situations. In this essay, we establish the well posedness of a model system of water wave equations which is inspired by recent work of Dias, Dyachenko, and Zakharov (Phys. Lett. A, 372:2008). The model in question includes dissipative effects and is weakly nonlinear. The present contribution is a first step in a larger program centered around the Dias-Dychenko-Zhakharov system.
