Solitary Waves of Depression
نویسنده
چکیده
It is shown that the regularized long-wave equation admits a family of solitary waves of depression. Some of these solitary waves are stable while others are unstable. The proof of stability and instability is based on the general theory of Grillakis, Shatah and Strauss. The results are illustrated by numerical simulation using a spectral discretization.

Observation of depression solitary surface waves on a thin fluid layer.
We report the observation of depression solitary surface waves on a layer of mercury when its depth is thin enough compared to the capillary length. These waves, as well as the well known elevation solitary waves, are studied with a new measurement technique using inductive sensors. The shape of the solitary waves, their amplitude-dependent velocity, and their damping rates by viscosity are fou...

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...

arises as the equation for solitary-wave solutions to a fifth-order long-wave equation for gravitycapillary water waves. Being Hamiltonian, reversible and depending upon two parameters, it shares the structure of the full steady water-wave problem. Moreover, all known analytical results for local bifurcations of solitary-wave solutions to the full water-wave problem have precise counterparts fo...
