We show that the well-known order reduction phenomenon affecting implicit Runge-Kutta methods does not occur when approximating periodic solutions of the Korteweg-de Vries equation.

Long waves in a current of an inviscid fluid of constant density flowing through a channel ofarbitrary cross section under disturbances of pressure distribution on free surface and obstructors on thewall of the channel are considered. The first order asymptotic approximation of the elevation of the freesurface satisfies a forced Korteweg-de Vries equation when the current is nea...

The transformation of a weakly nonlinear interfacial solitary wave in an ideal twolayer flow over a step is studied. In the vicinity of the step the wave transformation is described in the framework of the linear theory of long interfacial waves, and the coefficients of wave reflection and transmission are calculated. A strong transformation arises for propagation into shallower water, but a we...

The Ostrovsky equation is a model for gravity waves propagating down a channel under the influence of Coriolis force. This equation is a modification of the famous Korteweg-de Vries equation and is also Hamiltonian. However the Ostrovsky equation is not integrable and in this contribution we prove its nonintegrability. We also study local bifurcations of its solitary waves. MSC: 35Q35, 35Q53, 3...

In the past three decades, traveling wave solutions to the Korteweg–de Vries equation have been studied extensively and a large number of theoretical issues concerning the KdV equation have received considerable attention. These wave solutions when they exist can enable us to well understand the mechanism of the complicated physical phenomena and dynamical processes modeled by these nonlinear e...

Solitary water waves are long nonlinear waves that can propagate steadily over long distances. They were first observed by Russell in 1837 in a now famous report [26] on his observations of a solitary wave propagating along a Scottish canal, and on his subsequent experiments. Some forty years later theoretical work by Boussinesq [8] and Rayleigh [25] established an analytical model. Then in 189...

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...

In this paper, we present homotopy perturbation method (HPM) for solving the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation and convergence study of homotopy perturbation method for nonlinear partial differential equation. We compared our solution with the exact solution and homotopy analysis method (HAM). The results show that the HPM is an appropriate method for solving nonlinear equation.

The Ostrovsky equation is a modification of the Korteweg-de Vries equation which takes account of the effects of background rotation. It is well known that then the usual Korteweg-de Vries solitary wave decays and is replaced by radiating inertia-gravity waves. Here we show through numerical simulations that after a long-time a localized wave packet emerges as a persistent and dominant feature....
