Rigorous estimates on mechanical balance laws in the Boussinesq–Peregrine equations

Abstract

It is shown that the Boussinesq–Peregrine system, which describes long waves of small amplitude at the surface of an inviscid fluid with variable depth, admits a number of approximate conservation equations. Notably, this paper provides accurate estimations for the approximate conservation of the mechanical balance laws associated with mass, momentum, and energy. These precise estimates offer valuable insights into the behavior and dynamics of the system, shedding light on the conservation principles governing the wave motion.
