Shallow water equations

Shallow Water Equations are mathematical models used to describe the movement of water in situations where the depth is small compared to its horizontal extent, like rivers or coastal areas. They focus on how the water flows and changes over time, considering factors like speed, depth, and gravitational forces. These equations help predict behaviors like flooding, waves, and currents, making them valuable for engineers, environmental scientists, and planners to manage water resources and respond to natural disasters effectively.
