Cauchy problem for viscous rotating shallow water equations


Abstract in English

We consider the Cacuhy problem for a viscous compressible rotating shallow water system with a third-order surface-tension term involved, derived recently in the modelling of motions for shallow water with free surface in a rotating sub-domain. The global existence of the solution in the space of Besov type is shown for initial data close to a constant equilibrium state away from the vacuum. Unlike the previous analysis about the compressible fluid model without coriolis forces, the rotating effect causes a coupling between two parts of Hodges decomposition of the velocity vector field, additional regularity is required in order to carry out the Friedrichs regularization and compactness arguments.
