Abstract : The main goal of the talk is to present a method for constructing mathematical models of breaking waves. The proposed approach is based on a two-layer modelling, where the upper turbulent layer is considered within the framework of shear shallow water flows while the lower layer is potential and can be described by the Serre-Green-Naghdi or Saint-Venant type models. The interaction between the layers is taken into account through a natural mixing process. The obtained models correctly describe the vorticity generation and turbulent bores. Moreover, the dispersive model allows us to describe the transition from an undular bore to a breaking bore. We also derive a two-layer model for the interaction between a bubbly shear layer and long internal waves over topography. The corresponding numerical results on the formation of large amplitude internal waves, including periodic and damped oscillating solutions, are presented.
