Transverse instabilities of deep-water solitary waves
The dynamics of a one-dimensional slowly modulated, nearly monochromatic localized wave train in deep water is described by a one-dimensional soliton solution of a twodimensional nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation. In this paper, the instability of such a wave train with respect to transverse perturbations is examined numerically in the context of the NLS equation, using Hill’s method. A vari...
متن کاملNear - critical reflection of internal waves
Using a matched asymptotic expansion we analyse the two-dimensional, near-critical reflection of a weakly nonlinear internal gravity wave from a sloping boundary in a uniformly stratified fluid. Taking a distinguished limit in which the amplitude of the incident wave, the dissipation, and the departure from criticality are all small, we obtain a reduced description of the dynamics. This simplif...
متن کاملModels for Internal Waves in Deep Water
We study properties of solitary wave solutions of three evolution equations arising in the modeling of internal waves Our experiments indicate that broad classes of initial data resolve into solitary waves but also suggest that solitary waves do not interact exactly thus suggesting two of these equa tions are not integrable In the course of our numerical simulations interesting meta stable quas...
متن کاملShoaling internal solitary waves
[1] The evolution and breaking of internal solitary waves in a shallow upper layer as they approach a constant bottom slope is examined through laboratory experiments. The waves are launched in a two-layer fluid through the standard lock-release method. In most experiments, the wave amplitude is significantly larger than the depth of the shallow upper layer so that they are not well described b...
متن کاملInternal Solitary Waves
The basic theory of internal solitary waves is reviewed, with the main emphasis on applications to the many observations of such waves in shallow coastal seas, fjords, lakes and in the atmospheric boundary layer. Commencing with the equations of motion for an inviscid, incompressible density-stratified fluid, we describe asymptotic reductions to model long-wave equations, including the well-kno...
