A long wave approximation for capillary-gravity waves and the Kawahara equation
نویسنده
چکیده
The Kawahara equation is a higher-order Korteweg-de Vries equation with an additional fifth order derivative term. It was derived by Hasimoto as a model of capillary-gravity waves in an infinitely long canal over a flat bottom in a long wave regime when the Bond number is nearly one third. In this paper, we give a mathematically rigorous justification of this modeling and show that the solution of the Kawahara equation approximates that of the full problem of capillary-gravity waves in an appropriate sense for a long time interval. We also consider the case where the bottom is not flat and derive coupled Kawahara type equations whose solution approximates that of the full problem in that case.

It has been proved that ultrasonic energy can considerably increase the amount of oil recovery in an immiscible displacement process. Although many studies have been performed on investigating the roles of ultrasonic waves, based on the best of our knowledge, little attention has been paid to evaluate wave attenuation parameter, which is an important parameter in the determination of the energy...

متن کاملThe Rigorous Approximation of Long-Wavelength Capillary-Gravity Waves
In a previous paper we proved that long-wavelength solutions of the waterwave problem in the case of zero surface tension split up into two wave packets, one moving to the right and one to the left, where each of these wave packets evolves independently as a solution of a Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. In this paper we examine the effect of surface tension on this scenario. We find that we o...
