Wave group dynamics in weakly nonlinear long-wave models

چکیده
Wave group dynamics is studied in the framework of the extended Korteweg-de Vries equation. The nonlinear Schrodinger equation is derived for weakly nonlinear wave packets, and the condition for modulational instability is obtained. It is shown that wave packets are unstable only for a positive sign of the coe cient of the cubic nonlinear term in the extended Korteweg-de Vries equation, and for a high carrier frequency. At the boundary of this parameter space, a modi ed nonlinear Schrodinger equation is derived, and its steady-state solutions, including an algebraic soliton, are found. The exact breather solution of the extended Korteweg-de Vries equation is analyzed. It is shown that in the limit of weak nonlinearity it transforms to a wave group with an envelope described by soliton solutions of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation and its modi cation as described above. Numerical simulations demonstrate the main features of wave group evolution and show some di erences in the behavior of the solutions of the extended Korteweg-de Vries equation, compared with those of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation.

Models for instability in inviscid fluid flows, due to a resonance between two waves
In inviscid fluid flows instability arises generically due to a resonance between two wave modes. Here, it is shown that the structure of the weakly nonlinear régime depends crucially on whether the modal structure coincides, or remains distinct, at the resonance point where the wave phase speeds coincide. Then in the weakly nonlinear, long-wave limit the generic model consists either of a Bous...
متن کاملModulational instability in the dynamics of interacting wave packets: the extended Korteweg-de Vries equation
This paper is concerned with interacting wave packet dynamics for long waves. The Kortweg-de Vries equation is the most well-known model for weakly nonlinear long waves. Although the dynamics of a single wave packet in this model is governed by the defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation, implying that a plane wave is modulationally stable, the dynamics of two interacting wave packets is gove...

The interactive dynamics involving convective motions in a layer heated from below and internal wave motions in a contiguous, stably stratified layer is analyzed in the weakly nonlinear limit. A reduced dynamical system consisting of three coupled, nonlinear amplitude equations describing the intensity of convection co-existing with bi-directionally propagating long internal waves is derived.
