We first provide a general criterion that proves the symmetrizability of this model, which implies hyperbolicity and local well-posedness in $\\mathcal{H}^s(\\mathbb{R}^2)$, with s>2. Then, we analyze rigorously the eigenstructure associated to this model and prove a more general criterion of hyperbolicity and local well-posedness, under weak density-stratification assumption. Finally, we consider a new conservative two-layer shallow water model, prove the hyperbolicity and the local well-posedness and rely it to the basic two-layer shallow water model.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-02-13T16:07:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "15A15", "15A18", "35A07", "35L45", "35P15" ], "keywords": [ "local well-posedness", "free surface", "basic two-layer shallow water model", "hyperbolicity", "general criterion" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1402.3194M" } } }
