We first provide a general criterion that proves the symmetrizability of this model, which implies hyperbolicity and local well-posedness in H^s(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 a particular asymptotic regime and a weak stratification assumptions of the densities and the velocities. Finally, we consider a new conservative multi-layer shallow water model, we prove the symmetrizability, the hyperbolicity and the local well-posedness and rely it to the basic multi-layer shallow water model.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-11-10T07:51:44.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "15A15", "15A18", "35A07", "35L45", "35P15" ], "keywords": [ "local well-posedness", "multi-layer shallow-water model", "free surface", "basic multi-layer shallow water model", "general criterion" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 55, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1411.2342M" } } }
