Variational Principle for the Generalized KdV-Burgers Equation with Fractal Derivatives for Shallow Water Waves

The unsmooth boundary will greatly affect motion morphology of a shallow water wave, and a fractal space is introduced to establish a generalized KdV-Burgers equation with fractal derivatives. The semi-inverse method is used to establish a fractal variational formulation of the problem, which provides conservation laws in an energy form in the fractal space and possible solution structures of t...

Expansion shock waves in regularized shallow-water theory.

We identify a new type of shock wave by constructing a stationary expansion shock solution of a class of regularized shallow-water equations that include the Benjamin-Bona-Mahony and Boussinesq equations. An expansion shock exhibits divergent characteristics, thereby contravening the classical Lax entropy condition. The persistence of the expansion shock in initial value problems is analysed an...

Shallow Water Waves and Solitary Waves

Glossary Deep water A surface wave is said to be in deep water if its wavelength is much shorter than the local water depth. Internal wave A internal wave travels within the interior of a fluid. The maximum velocity and maximum amplitude occur within the fluid or at an internal boundary (interface). Internal waves depend on the density-stratification of the fluid. Shallow water A surface wave i...

Solitons, Shock Waves and Conservation Laws of Rosenau-KdV-RLW Equation with Power Law Nonlinearity

This paper obtains solitary waves, shock waves and singular solitons alon with conservation laws of the Rosenau Kortewegde Vries regularized long wave (R-KdV-RLW) equation with power law nonlinearity that models the dynamics of shallow water waves. The ansatz approach and the semi-inverse variational principle are used to obtain these solutions. The constraint conditions for the existence of so...
