We consider small amplitude wave packet-like solutions to the 3D inviscid incompressible irrotational infinite depth water wave problem neglecting surface tension. Formal multiscale calculations suggest that the modulation of such a solution is described by a profile traveling at group velocity and governed by a hyperbolic cubic nonlinear Schrodinger equation. In this paper we show that, given wave packet initial data, the corresponding solution exists and retains the form of a wave packet on natural NLS time scales. Moreover, we give rigorous error estimates between the true and formal solutions on the appropriate time scale in Sobolev spaces using the energy method. The proof proceeds by directly applying modulational analysis to the formulation of the 3D water wave problem developed by Sijue Wu.

We consider the 2D inviscid incompressible irrotational infinite depth water wave problem neglecting surface tension. Given wave packet initial data, we show that the modulation of the solution is a profile traveling at group velocity and governed by a focusing cubic nonlinear Schrodinger equation, with rigorous error estimates in Sobolev spaces. As a consequence, we establish existence of solutions of the water wave problem in Sobolev spaces for times in the NLS regime provided the initial data is suitably close to a wave packet of sufficiently small amplitude in Sobolev spaces.
In this paper we prove that weak solutions to the Diffusive Wave Approximation of the Shallow Water equations $$ partial_t u - ablacdot ((u-z)^alpha| abla u|^{gamma-1} abla u) = f $$ are locally bounded. Here, $u$ describes the height of the water, $z$ is a given function that represents the land elevation and $f$ is a source term accounting for evaporation, infiltration or rainfall.
Consider the anisotropic Navier-Stokes equations as well as the primitive equations. It is shown that the horizontal velocity of the solution to the anisotropic Navier-Stokes equations in a cylindrical domain of height $varepsilon $ with initial data $u_0=(v_0,w_0)in B^{2-2/p}_{q,p}$, $1/q+1/ple 1$ if $qge 2$ and $4/3q+2/3ple 1$ if $qle 2$, converges as $varepsilon to 0$ with convergence rate $mathcal{O} (varepsilon )$ to the horizontal velocity of the solution to the primitive equations with initial data $v_0$ with respect to the maximal-$L^p$-$L^q$-regularity norm. Since the difference of the corresponding vertical velocities remains bounded with respect to that norm, the convergence result yields a rigorous justification of the hydrostatic approximation in the primitive equations in this setting. It generalizes in particular a result by Li and Titi for the $L^2$-$L^2$-setting. The approach presented here does not rely on second order energy estimates but on maximal $L^p$-$L^q$-estimates for the heat equation.
The primitive equations are fundamental models in geophysical fluid dynamics and derived from the scaled Navier-Stokes equations. In the primitive equations, the evolution equation to the vertical velocity is replaced by the so-called hydrostatic approximation. In this paper, we give a justification of the hydrostatic approximation by the scaled Navier-Stoke equations in anisotropic spaces $L^infty_H L^q_{x_3} (Torus^3)$ for $q geq 1$.
Uniqueness and reconstruction in the three-dimensional Calderon inverse conductivity problem can be reduced to the study of the inverse boundary problem for Schrodinger operators $-Delta +q $. We study the Born approximation of $q$ in the ball, which amounts to studying the linearization of the inverse problem. We first analyze this approximation for real and radial potentials in any dimension. We show that this approximation is well-defined and obtain a closed formula that involves the spectrum of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map associated to $-Delta + q$. We then turn to general real and essentially bounded potentials in three dimensions and introduce the notion of averaged Born approximation, which captures the invariance properties of the exact inverse problem. We obtain explicit formulas for the averaged Born approximation in terms of the matrix elements of the Dirichlet to Neumann map in the basis spherical harmonics. Motivated by these formulas we also study the high-energy behaviour of the matrix elements of the Dirichlet to Neumann map.
