We study here the water waves problem for uneven bottoms in a highly nonlinear regime where the small amplitude assumption of the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation is enforced. It is known that, for such regimes, a generalization of the KdV equation (somehow linked to the CamassaHolm equation) can be derived and justified [Constantin and Lannes, Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 192 (2009) 165–186] when...

The Cauchy problem for the Korteweg de Vries (KdV) equation with small dispersion of order ǫ, ǫ ≪ 1, is characterized by the appearance of a zone of rapid modulated oscillations. These oscillations are approximately described by the elliptic solution of KdV where the amplitude, wave-number and frequency are not constant but evolve according to the Whitham equations. Whereas the difference betwe...

We give a systematic account of isospectral deformations for Sturm-Liouville and Dirac-type operators and associated hierarchies of nonlinear evolution equations. In particular, we study generalized KdV and modified KdV-hierarchies and their reduction to the standard (m)KdV-hierarchy. As an example we study the Harry Dym equation in some detail and relate its solutions to KdV-solutions and to H...

Objectives: Modi®ed ultra®ltration increases blood pressure and cardiac index following open-heart surgery in children, but it is unclear if this is secondary to an improvement in global left ventricular function. A previous report has suggested that left ventricular systolic function as assessed in a single chord is improved by ultra®ltration (Davies MJ, Nguyen K, Gaynor JW, Elliott MJ. Modi®e...

The KdV equation can be considered as a special case of the general equation ut + f(u)x − δg(uxx)x = 0, δ > 0, (0.1) where f is non-linear and g is linear, namely f(u) = u/2 and g(v) = v. As the parameter δ tends to 0, the dispersive behavior of the KdV equation has been throughly investigated (see, e.g., [11], [6], [2] and the references therein). We show through numerical evidence that a comp...

Abstract: Detached-eddy simulation (DES) based on the v-f Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) model is developed and tested. The v-f model incorporates the anisotropy of near-wall turbulence, which is absent in other RANS models commonly used in the DES community. The v-f RANS model is modi ed in order that the proposed v-f -based DES formulation reduces to a transport equation for the subgr...

The unsmooth boundary will greatly affect motion morphology of a shallow water wave, and a fractal space is introduced to establish a generalized KdV-Burgers equation with fractal derivatives. The semi-inverse method is used to establish a fractal variational formulation of the problem, which provides conservation laws in an energy form in the fractal space and possible solution structures of t...

This paper concerns the inverse problem of retrieving the principal coefficient in a Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation from boundary measurements of a single solution. The Lipschitz stability of this inverse problem is obtained using a new global Carleman estimate for the linearized KdV equation. The proof is based on the Bukhgĕım-Klibanov method.

By considering the set of coupled KdV differential equations as a zero curvature representation of some fourth order linear differential equation and factorizing the linear differential equation, the hierarchy of solutions of the coupled KdV differential equations have been obtained from the eigen spectrum of constant potentials.
