Mathematical and numerical study of a model for navigation in stratified waters

Etude mathématique et numérique d'un modèle pour la navigation dans des eaux stratifiées

Résumé

We derive a linear model of navigation in a two-layer fluid with a variable velocity of the ship. A spectral version of the model including a Rayleigh damping term is analyzed. We prove that the Cauchy problem has a unique solution if the velocity and if the initial data are sufficiently regular. The case of a constant speed is thoroughly investigated and the importance of a critical speed which separates two types of regimes is pointed out. We propose a numerical scheme based on the discrete Fourier transform for the space discretization and on an exponential integrator for the time discretization. We prove an error estimate for the exponential integrator. Numerical experiments in one and two space dimensions complete the theoretical results.
