Internal Solitary Waves

Studies in Applied Mathematics, 1992
The expansion procedure introduced by Benney (1966) for weakly nonlinear, planar shallow‐water waves is used to provide an alternative derivation of the more general results of Benjamin (1966) for shallow fluid layers possessing arbitrary vertical stratification and horizontal shear.

Shoaling internal solitary waves

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2013
The evolution and breaking of internal solitary waves in a shallow upper layer as they approach a constant bottom slope is examined through laboratory experiments. The waves are launched in a two‐layer fluid through the standard lock‐release method.

Oblique Interactions between Internal Solitary Waves

Studies in Applied Mathematics, 1994
In this paper, we study the oblique interaction of weakly, nonlinear, long internal gravity waves in both shallow and deep fluids. The interaction is classified as weak when where Δ1=|cm/cn−cosδ|, Δ2=|cn/cm−cosδ|,cm,n, are the linear, long wave speeds for waves with mode numbers m, n, δ is the angle between the respective propagation directions, and α

Internal Modes of Solitary Waves

Physical Review Letters, 1998
We develop an analytical approach for describing a birth of internal modes of solitary waves in nonintegrable nonlinear models. We show that a small perturbation of a proper sign to an integrable model can create a soliton internal mode bifurcating from the continuous wave spectrum. The theory is applied to the double sine-Gordon and discrete nonlinear

Are Solitary Internal Waves Solitons?

Studies in Applied Mathematics, 1998
Results of fully nonlinear numerical simulations of the interaction of two mode‐1 solitary internal waves, both propagating in the same direction, are presented. After the interaction, two solitary internal waves emerge. The large wave is slightly larger than the initial large solitary wave, while the small one is slightly smaller than the initial ...
