Structural elements and collapse regimes in 3D flows on a slope

The mechanisms and structural elements of an instability whose development results in the collapse of flow fragments have been studied in the scope of the Hamilton version of the “shallow water” 3D model on a slope. The study indicated that the 3D model differs from its 2D analog in a more varied set of collapsing solutions. In particular, the solutions describing anisotropic collapse, during which the area of a collapsing fragment in contact with the slope contracts into a segment rather than a point, exist together with the solutions describing radially symmetric (isotropic) collapse.
