Stability of a Simple Solution of Shallow Water Equations on a Rotating Gravitating Sphere

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We study the stability of a partial solution to the shallow water equations governing a rotating gravitating sphere. We reduce the problem to searching for eigenvalues of a singular boundary value problem for the system of four ordinary differential equations. We show that the solution is stable under perturbations depending only on the latitude variable. In the general case, a numerical experiment shows that the eigenvalues are purely imaginary, i.e., the solution is stable under arbitrary small perturbations. Bibliography: 3 titles. Illustrations: 1 figure.
