Higher-order Korteweg-de Vries models for internal solitary waves in a stratified shear flow with a free surface
نویسنده
چکیده
A higher-order extension of the familiar Korteweg-de Vries equation is derived for internal solitary waves in a densityand current-stratified shear flow with a free surface. All coefficients of this extended Kortewegde Vries equation are expressed in terms of integrals of the modal function for the linear long-wave theory. An illustrative example of a two-layer shear flow is considered, for which we discuss the parameter dependence of the coefficients in the extended Korteweg-de Vries equation.

Coupled Korteweg-de Vries equations
When a system supports two distinct long-wave modes with nearly coincident phase speeds, the weakly nonlinear and linear dispersion unfolding generically leads to two coupled Korteweg-de Vries equations. In this paper, we review the derivation of such systems in stratified fluids, extending previous studies by allowing for background shear flows. Coupled Korteweg-de Vries systems have very rich...
متن کاملGeneralized Internal Solitary Waves and Fronts
It was shown in [1] that waves in a two-layer system with free-surface boundary conditions (or in a three-layer system) can be modelled by a system of two coupled long wave equations. The study of the resonance between a solitary wave of one of the two equations and a copropagating periodic wave of the other equation is carried out numerically. The resulting wave is a generalized solitary wave....
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...

We have studied the electron exchange-correlation effect on thecharacteristics of the two-component unmagnetized dense quantum plasma withstreaming motion.

متن کاملDynamics of Solitary-waves in the Coupled Korteweg-De Vries Equations
We find new analytic solitary-wave solutions, having a nonzero background at infinity, of the coupled Korteweg-De Vries equation, using the auxiliary function method. We study the dynamical properties of the solitary-waves by numerical simulations. It is shown that the solitary-waves can be stable or unstable, depending on the coefficients of the model. We study the interaction dynamics by usin...
