Higher order corrections for shallow-water solitary waves: elementary derivation and experiments
We present an elementary method to obtain the equations of the shallow-water solitary waves in different orders of approximation. The first two of these equations are solved to get the shapes and propagation velocities of the corresponding solitary waves. The first order equation is shown to be equivalent to the Korteweg−de Vries (KdV) equation, while the second order equation is solved numeric...
متن کاملShallow 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...
متن کاملHigh-Order Interaction of Solitary Waves on Shallow Water
The interaction of solitary waves on shallow water is examined to fourth order. At first order the interaction is governed by the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation, and it is shown that the unidirectional assumption, of right-moving waves only, is incompatible with mass conservation at third order. To resolve this, a mass conserving system of KdV equations, involving both rightand left-moving wa...
متن کاملDynamics of Bright Solitary-waves in a General Fifth-order Shallow Water-wave Model
New analytic sech2-type traveling solitary-wave solutions, satisfying zero background at infinity, of a general fifth-order shallow water-wave model are found and compared with previously obtained non-zero background solutions. The allowed coefficient regions for the solitary-wave solutions are classified by requiring the wave number and angular frequency to be real. Detailed numerical simulati...
متن کاملHigher-order Boussinesq equations for two-way propagation of shallow water waves
Standard perturbation methods are applied to Euler’s equations of motion governing the capillary-gravity shallow water waves to derive a general higher-order Boussinesq equation involving the small-amplitude parameter, α = a/h0, and long-wavelength parameter, β = (h0/l), where a and l are the actual amplitude and wavelength of the surface wave, and h0 is the height of the undisturbed water surf...
