IAHR Water Monographs Webinar 1: Contribution to the Theory of Undular Bores. A Journey around the Korteweg-de Vries Equation

« Back to list of video collections

Undular bores occur in oceans (final stage of tsunamis, mascarets in estuaries) as well as in rivers or channels (Favre waves upstream from hydraulic dams). They look like a long, undulating hydraulic jump without air-water mixing. Undular bores are difficult to understand and to model, whether it be from a theoretical perspective or through numerical simulation, because they are both non-linear and dispersive, i.e., they have arbitrary amplitudes and moderate wavelengths.
