On weak solutions to the 2D Savage-Hutter model of the motion of a gravity driven avalanche flow

Abstract

We consider the Savage-Hutter system consisting of two-dimensional depth-integrated shallow water equations for the incompressible fluid with the Coulomb-type friction term. Using the method of convex integration we show that the associated initial-value problem possesses infinitely many weak solutions for any finite-energy initial data. On the other hand, the problem enjoys the weak-strong uniqueness property provided the system of equations is supplemented with the energy inequality.
