Exact solutions of the dispersive water wave and modified Boussinesq equations are expressed in terms of special polynomials associated with rational solutions of the fourth Painlevé equation, which arises as generalized scaling reductions of these equations. Generalized solutions that involve an infinite sequence of arbitrary constants are also derived which are analogues of generalized ration...

Consideration is given to the influence of an underwater landslide on waves at the surface of a shallow body of fluid. The equations of motion which govern the evolution of the barycenter of the landslide mass include various dissipative effects due to bottom friction, internal energy dissipation, and viscous drag. The surface waves are studied in the Boussinesq scaling, with time-dependent bat...

In this paper, based on the known first integral method, we try to seek the traveling wave solutions of several nonlinear evolution equations. As a result, some exact travelig wave solutions and solitary solutions for Whitham-Broer-Kaup (WBK) equations, Gardner equation, Boussinesq-Burgers equations, nonlinear schrodinger equation and mKDV equation are established successfully.

A class of model equations that describe the bi-directional propagation of small amplitude long waves on the surface of shallow water is derived from two-dimensional potential flow equations at various orders of approximation in two small parameters, namely the amplitude parameter a 1⁄4 a=h0 and wavelength parameter b 1⁄4 ðh0=lÞ2, where a and l are the actual amplitude and wavelength of the sur...

An improved curvilinear grid model based on fully nonlinear Boussinesq equations is used to simulate wave propagation in Ponce de Leon Inlet, Fla. We employ the nearshore bathymetry of Ponce de Leon Inlet and generate a stretched curvilinear grid that can resolve shortwaves in the nearshore region and fit the complex geometry. Simulations of 18 cases with monochromatic input waves and Texel-Mar...

This paper presents a parametric finite-difference scheme concerning the numerical solution of theone-dimensional Boussinesq-type set of equations, as they were introduced byPeregrine, in the case of wavesrelatively long with small amplitudes in water of constant depth. The method which is used can be considered asa generalization of the Crank-Nickolson method and it has been ap...

We apply a multiple–time version of the reductive perturbation method to study long waves as governed by the Boussinesq model equation. By requiring the absence of secular producing terms in each order of the perturbative scheme, we show that the solitary–wave of the Boussinesq equation can be written as a solitary–wave satisfying simultaneously all equations of the KdV hierarchy, each one in a...

We study the Boussinesq equation from the point of view of a multipletime reductive perturbation method. As a consequence of the elimination of the secular producing terms through the use of the Korteweg–de Vries hierarchy, we show that the solitary–wave of the Boussinesq equation is a solitary–wave satisfying simultaneously all equations of the Korteweg–de Vries hierarchy, each one in an appro...

The accurate numerical simulation of wave disturbance within harbours requires consideration of both nonlinear and dispersive wave processes in order to capture such physical effects as wave refraction and diffraction, and nonlinear wave interactions such as the generation of harmonic waves. The Boussinesq equations are the simplest class of mathematical model that contain all these effects in ...

Trial equation method is a powerful tool for obtaining exact solutions of nonlinear differential equations. In this paper, the improved Boussinesq is reduced to an ordinary differential equation under the travelling wave transformation. Trial equation method and the theory of complete discrimination system for polynomial are used to establish exact solutions of the improved Boussinesq equation.
