Closure to “Boussinesq- and Serre-type models with improved linear dispersion characteristics: applications” by JOSÉ S. ANTUNES DO CARMO, J. Hydraulic Res., 51(6), 2013, 719–727.

ABSTRACT

The author thanks the discussers for their comments. The author would like to complement the contribution of the discussers with a brief analysis of the most striking approaches in the context of the shallow water wave theory. In particular, the dispersive characteristics of some Boussinesq-type approaches are discussed.
