An improved element-free Galerkin method for solving the generalized fifth-order Korteweg-de Vries equation

In this paper, an improved element-free Galerkin （IEFG） method is proposed to solve the generalized fifth-order Korteweg-de Vries （gfKdV） equation. When the traditional element-free Galerkin （EFG） method is used to solve such an equation, unstable or even wrong numerical solutions may be obtained due to the violation of the consistency conditions of the moving least-squares （MLS） shape functions. To solve this problem, the EFG method is improved by employing the improved moving least-squares （IMLS） approximation based on the shifted polynomial basis functions. The effectiveness of the IEFG method for the gfKdV equation is investigated by using some numerical examples. Meanwhile, the motion of single solitary wave and the interaction of two solitons are simulated using the IEFG method.

The Pfaffian Technique: A (2 + 1)-Dimensional Korteweg de Vries Equation

The (2 + 1)-dimensional Korteweg de Vries (KdV) equation, which was first derived by Boiti et al., has been studied by various distinct methods. It is known that this (2 + 1)-dimensional KdV equation has rich solutions, such as multi-soliton solutions and dromion solutions. In the present article, a unified representation of its N-soliton solution is given by means of pfaffian. We’ll show that this (2 + 1)-dimensional KdV equation is nothing but the Plücker identity when its &#964-function is given by pfaffian.

Theoretical analysis of equatorial near-inertial solitary waves under complete Coriolis parameters

An investigation of equatorial near-inertial wave dynamics under complete Coriolis parameters is performed in this paper.Starting from the basic model equations of oceanic motions,a Korteweg de Vries equation is derived to simulate the evolution of equatorial nonlinear near-inertial waves by using methods of scaling analysis and perturbation expansions under the equatorial beta plane approximation.Theoretical dynamic analysis is finished based on the obtained Korteweg de Vries equation,and the results show that the horizontal component of Coriolis parameters is of great importance to the propagation of equatorial nonlinear near-inertial solitary waves by modifying its dispersion relation and by interacting with the basic background flow.

Instability of Two Interacting Quasi-Monochromatic Waves in Shallow Water

The nonlinear interactions of waves with a double-peaked power spectrum have been studied in shallow water. The starting point is the prototypical equation for nonlinear unidirectional waves in shallow water, i.e. the Korteweg de Vries equation. By means of a multiple-scale technique two defocusing coupled Nonlinear SchrCMinger equations are derived. It is found analytically that plane wave solutions of such a system are unstable for small perturbations, showing that the existence of a new energy exchange mechanism which can influence the behavior of ocean waves in shallow water.

Nonlinear acoustic waves in a collisional self-gravitating dusty plasma

Using the reductive perturbation method, we investigate the small amplitude nonlinear acoustic wave in a collisional self-gravitating dusty plasma. The result shows that the small amplitude dust acoustic wave can be expressed by a modified Korteweg-de Vries equation, and the nonlinear wave is instable because of the collisions between the neutral gas molecules and the charged particles.
