Abstract

The nonlinear nature of bottom friction in shallow flow complicates its analysis, particularly in idealised models. For tidal flows, Lorentz’ linearisation has been widely applied, using an energy criterion to specify the friction coefficient. Here we propose an extension of this approach to storm surges, leading to a friction coefficient that may gradually vary over a storm event. The derivation is provided along with first results for a single channel.
