Large-amplitude internal solitary waves in a two-fluid model
We compute solitary wave solutions of a Hamiltonian model for large-amplitude long internal waves in a two-layer stratification. Computations are performed for values of the density and depth ratios close to oceanic conditions, and comparisons are made with solutions of both weakly and fully nonlinear models. It is shown that characteristic features of highly nonlinear solitary waves such as br...
متن کاملDamping of large-amplitude solitary waves
Soliton damping in weakly dissipative media has been studied for several decades, usually using the asymptotic theory of the slowly-varying solitary wave solution of the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. Damping then occurs according to the energy balance equation, and a shelf is generated behind the soliton. Various examples of this process have been given by Ott & Sudan (1970) Pelinovsky (197...
متن کاملLarge-Amplitude Solitary Water Waves with Vorticity
We provide the first construction of exact solitary waves of large amplitude with an arbitrary distribution of vorticity. We use continuation to construct a global connected set of symmetric solitary waves of elevation, whose profiles decrease monotonically on either side of a central crest. This generalizes the classical result of Amick and Toland.
متن کاملSolitary water waves of large amplitude generated by surface pressure
We consider exact nonlinear solitary water waves on a shear flow with an arbitrary distribution of vorticity. Ignoring surface tension, we impose a non-constant pressure on the free surface. Starting from a uniform shear flow with a flat free surface and a supercritical wave speed, we vary the surface pressure and use a continuation argument to construct a global connected set of symmetric soli...
متن کاملInteractions of large amplitude solitary waves in viscous fluid conduits
The free interface separating an exterior, viscous fluid from an intrusive conduit of buoyant, less viscous fluid is known to support strongly nonlinear solitary waves due to a balance between viscosity-induced dispersion and buoyancy-induced nonlinearity. The overtaking, pairwise interaction of weakly nonlinear solitary waves has been classified theoretically for the Korteweg–de Vries equation...
