An Efficient Two-Layer Non-hydrostatic Approach for Dispersive Water Waves [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
In this paper, we propose a two-layer depth-integrated non-hydrostatic system with improved dispersion relations. This improvement is obtained through three free parameters: two of them related to the representation of the pressure at the interface and a third one that controls the relative position of the interface concerning the total height. These parameters are then optimized to improve the dispersive properties of the resulting system. The optimized model shows good linear wave characteristics up to kH\approx 10𝑘𝐻≈10kH\approx 10, that can be improved for long waves. The system is solved using an efficient formally second-order well-balanced and positive preserving hybrid finite volume/difference numerical scheme. The scheme consists of a two-step algorithm based on a projection-correction type scheme. First, the hyperbolic part of the system is discretized using a Polynomial Viscosity Matrix path-conservative finite-volume method. Second, the dispersive terms are solved using finite differences. The method has been applied to idealized and challenging physical situations that involve nearshore breaking. Agreement with laboratory data is excellent. This technique results in an accurate and efficient method.
