An amplitude equation for surface gravity wave-topography interactions

We derive an amplitude equation that captures the effect of small but arbitrary topography on small-amplitude surface gravity waves. The robustness of this reduced model is demonstrated by numerical simulations that compare it with the fully nonlinear water wave equations. The amplitude equation is...
