Variational derivation of the Camassa-Holm shallow water equation

arXiv:0711.4692 · doi:10.2991/jnmp.2007.14.3.1

Abstract

We describe the physical hypothesis in which an approximate model of water waves is obtained. For an irrotational unidirectional shallow water flow, we derive the Camassa-Holm equation by a variational approach in the Lagrangian formalism.
