Vertical averaging of the three-dimensional incompressible Euler equations leads to several reduced dimension models of flow over topography, including the one-layer and two-layer classic shallow water equations, and the one-layer and two-layer nonhydrostatic Green-Naghdi equations. These equations are derived and their well posedness is discussed. Several implicit and explicit finite difference approximations of both the shallow water and Green-Naghdi models are presented, but for Green-Naghdi these are obtained using automatic code generation software. Numerical results are given in both well-posed and ill-posed regimes and compared with computations obtained by others. 26 refs., 12 figs., 1 tab.
