We propose compact finite difference schemes to solve the KP equations $u\_t + u\_{xxx} + u^p u\_x + $\lambda$ \partial^{--1}\_x u\_{yy} = 0$. When $p = 1$, this equation describes the propagation of small amplitude long waves in shallow…
Using a matched asymptotic expansion we analyze the two-dimensional, near- critical reflection of a weakly nonlinear, internal gravity wave from a sloping boundary in a uniformly stratified fluid. Taking a distinguished limit in which the…
We often observe that waves on the surface of shallow water form complex web-like patterns. They are examples of nonlinear waves, and these patterns are generated by nonlinear interactions among several obliquely propagating waves. In this…
