A presentation of cnoidal wave theory for practical application
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cnoidal wave theory is appropriate to periodic waves progressing in water whose depth is less than about one-tenth the wavelength. The leading results of existing theories are modified and given in a more practical form, and the graphs necessary to their use by engineers are presented. As well aa results for the wave celerity and shape, expressions and graphs for the water particle velocity and local acceleration fields are given. A few comparisons between theory and laboratory measurements are included.

Soliton on a Cnoidal Wave Background in the coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equation
An application of the Darboux transformation on a cnoidal wave background in the coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equation gives a new solution which describes a soliton moving on a cnoidal wave. This is a generalized version of the previously known soliton solutions of dark-bright pair. Here a dark soliton resides on a cnoidal wave instead of on a constant background. It also exhibits a new types...
متن کاملA Cnoidal Approximation Wave Theory
Periodic progressive waves in shallow to transitional water are described by a Cnoidal Approximation wave theory. The formulation is analytical and largely classical. Periodic waves are assumed, so that the theory does not extend to solitary waves. The solution is completed numerically, as a problem in nonlinear optimisation. The suitability of the theory in shallow to transitional water is dem...
متن کاملSine-Gordon Soliton on a Cnoidal Wave Background
The method of Darboux transformation, which is applied on cnoidal wave solutions of the sine-Gordon equation, gives solitons moving on a cnoidal wave background. Interesting characteristics of the solution, i.e., the velocity of solitons and the shift of crests of cnoidal waves along a soliton, are calculated. Solutions are classified into three types (Type-1A, Type-1B, Type-2) according to the...
متن کاملHydroelastic response of a floating runway to cnoidal waves
The hydroelastic response of mat-type Very Large Floating Structures (VLFSs) to severe sea conditions, such as tsunamis and hurricanes, must be assessed for safety and survivability. An efficient and robust nonlinear hydroelastic model is required to predict accurately the motion of and the dynamic loads on a VLFS due to such large waves. We develop a nonlinear theory to predict the hydroelasti...
متن کاملHigh Frequency Perturbation of Cnoidal Waves in KdV
The Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation with periodic boundary conditions is considered. The interaction of a periodic solitary wave (cnoidal wave) with high frequency radiation of finite energy (L-norm) is studied. It is proved that the interaction of low frequency component (cnoidal wave) and high frequency radiation is weak for finite time in the following sense: the radiation approximately sat...
