Abstract

We present a coupled continuous-discontinuous finite element method for solving multi-layer shallow-water equations in their primitive form. The method is based on a continuous approximation of the horizontal velocities together with a discontinuous approximation of the surface and interface elevations. A priori estimates are derived for the semi-discrete problem.
