Abstract
If you disregard the lateral viscosity terms, the SWE as given in chapter 2 are of hyperbolic type, that is: they have real characteristics (further discussed below in section 4.3). This implies that you can think of solutions as combinations of waves. The viscosity terms do have an influence: they will act as a damping mechanism. However, they are often not very large and you can generally assume that the wave properties are not essentially altered. This assumption is made in this chapter.
