A Generalised Serre-Green-Naghdi equations for variable rectangular open channel hydraulics and its finite volume approximation

International audienceWe present a non-linear dispersive shallow water model which enters in the framework of section-averaged models. These new equations are derived up to the second order of the shallow water approximation starting from the three-dimensional incompressible and irrotational Euler system. The derivation is carried out in the case of non uniform rectangular section and it generalises the well-known one-dimensional Serre-Green-Naghdi (SGN) equations on uneven bottom. The obtained model is fully consistent with the Euler system. We propose a well-balanced finite volume approximation and we present some numerical results to show the influence of the section variation
