Abstract
The initial-value problem for a particular bidirectional Whitham system modelling surface water waves is under consideration. This system was recently introduced in Dinvay (2018). It is numerically shown to be stable and a good approximation to the incompressible Euler equations. Here we prove local in time well-posedness. Our proof relies on an energy method and a compactness argument. In addition some numerical experiments, supporting the validity of the system as an asymptotic model for water waves, are carried out.
