We study the dynamics of soliton solutions to the perturbed mKdV equation $\partial_t u = \partial_x(-\partial_x^2 u -2u^3) + \epsilon V u$, where $V\in \mathcal{C}^1_b(\mathbb{R})$, $0<\epsilon\ll 1$. This type of perturbation is…
The evolution of a solitary wave with very weak nonlinearity which was originally investigated by Miles [4] is revisited. The solution for a one-dimensional gravity wave in a water of uniform depth is considered. This leads to finding the…
In this study, we propose an improved version of the nonlinear shallow water (or Saint-Venant) equations. This new model is designed to take into account the effects resulting from the large spacial and/or temporal variations of the seabed.…
Solitary waves are localized gravity waves that preserve their consistency and henceforth their visibility through properties of nonlinear hydrodynamics. Solitary waves have finite amplitude and spread with constant speed and constant…
We consider the dynamics of internal envelope solitons in a two-layer rotating fluid with a linearly varying bottom. It is shown that the most probable frequency of a carrier wave which constitutes the solitary wave is the frequency where…

We study a class of 1+1 quadratically nonlinear water wave equations that combines the linear dispersion of the Korteweg-deVries (KdV) equation with the nonlinear/nonlocal dispersion of the Camassa-Holm (CH) equation, yet still preserves…
Under the effect of common perturbations, the multiple-soliton solution of the KdV equation is transformed into a sum of an elastic and a first-order inelastic component. The elastic component is a perturbation series, identical in…
Cosmological perturbations of sufficiently long wavelength admit a fluid dynamic description. We consider modes with wavevectors below a scale $k_m$ for which the dynamics is only mildly non-linear. The leading effect of modes above that…

In this work, we propose a second-order accurate scheme for shallow water equations in general covariant coordinates over manifolds. In particular, the covariant parametrization in general covariant coordinates is induced by the metric…
The classical equations of irrotational water waves have recently been reformulated as a system of two equations, one of which is an explicit non-local equation for the wave height and for the velocity potential evaluated on the free…
We generalize the non-linear one-dimensional equation of a fluid layer for any depth and length as an infinite order differential equation for the steady waves. This equation can be written as a q-differential one, with its general solution…
Evolution of perturbed embedded solitons in the general Hamiltonian fifth-order Korteweg--de Vries (KdV) equation is studied. When an embedded soliton is perturbed, it sheds a one-directional continuous-wave radiation. It is shown that the…
It is demonstrated that a standard coupled-mode theory can successfully describe weakly-nonlinear gravity water waves in Bragg resonance with a periodic one-dimensional topography. Analytical solutions for gap solitons provided by this…
The KdV equation is used as an example to illustrate the relation between the restricted flows and the soliton equation with self-consistent sources. Inspired by the results on the Backlund transformation for the restricted flows (by V.B.…
