We present a class of augmented approximate Riemann solvers for the shallow water equations in the presence of a variable bottom surface. These belong to the class of simple approximate solvers that use a set of propagating jump discontinuities, or waves, to approximate the true Riemann solution. Typically, a simple solver for a system of m conservation laws uses m such discontinuities. We pres...

The fractional solitons have demonstrated many new phenomena, which cannot be explained by the traditional solitary wave theory. This paper studies some famous equations including KdV–Burgers equation and approximate long water a modified tanh-function method. solving process is given in details, can rigorously obtained exact solutions. offers window for studying solitons.

The homotopy analysis method HAM is applied to obtain the approximate traveling wave solutions of the coupled Whitham-Broer-Kaup WBK equations in shallow water. Comparisons are made between the results of the proposed method and exact solutions. The results show that the homotopy analysis method is an attractive method in solving the systems of nonlinear partial differential equations.

In this study, we aim to construct a traveling wave solution for nonlinear partial differential equations. In this regards, a cosine-function method is used to find and generate the exact solutions for three different types of nonlinear partial differential equations such as general regularized long wave equation (GRLW), general Korteweg-de Vries equation (GKDV) and general equal width wave equ...

Consider a uniform train of surface waves with a two-dimensional, bi-periodic surface pattern, propagating on deep water. One approximate model of the evolution of these waves is a pair of coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations, which neglects any dissipation of the waves. We show that in this model, such a wave train is linearly unstable to small perturbations in the initial data, because of ...

This paper discusses the existence and stability of solitary-wave solutions of a general higher-order Benjamin-Bona-Mahony (BBM) equation, which involves pseudo-differential operators for the linear part. One of such equations can be derived from water-wave problems as second-order approximate equations from fully nonlinear governing equations. Under some conditions on the symbols of pseudo-dif...

A new water-wave model has been derived which is based on variational techniques and combines a depth-averaged vertical (component of) vorticity with depth-dependent potential flow. The model facilitates the further restriction of the vertical profile of the velocity potential to n-th order polynomials or a finite-element profile with a small number of elements (say), leading to a framework for...
