Abstract

A single nonlinear partial differential equation of the wave type for an axisymmetric case is obtained by the introduction of special auxiliary function. In contrast to cylindrical Korteweg-de Vries equation, new equation describes centrifugal and centripetal waves not only far from the center, but in its vicinity as well. With the use of this equation a number of specific problems on the evolution of the free surface disturbances are numerically solved for the cases of a horizontal bottom and a drowned concave. The research also demonstrates the difference between the results of calculations on the base of the complete equation and on the basis of the linearized equation.
