In this paper, we study Euler equations in a domain with small depth. With this aim, we introduce a small a‐dimensional parameter ε related to the depth and we use asymptotic analysis to study what happens when ε becomes small. In this way we obtain a shallow water model that considers the possibility of a non‐constant bottom and the horizontal velocity components depend on z if the vorticity is not zero. The new model is able to calculate exactly the solutions to Euler equations that are linear in z , whereas the classic model just obtains the average velocities. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
