We prove the existence of solutions to the irrotational water-wave problem in finite depth and derive an explicit upper bound on the amplitude of the nonlinear solutions in terms of the wavenumber, the total hydraulic head, the wave speed and the relative mass flux. Our approach relies upon a reformulation of the water-wave problem as a one-dimensional pseudo-differential equation and the Newton–Kantorovich iteration for Banach spaces. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Nonlinear water waves’.

We present solutions of the water wave problem for a fluid layer of finite depth in the presence of gravity and surface tension. The method of multiple scale expansion is employed to obtain the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equations for solitons, which describes the behavior of the system for the free surface between air and water in a nonlinear approach. The solutions of the water wave problem split up into two wave packets, one moving to the right and one to the left, where each of these wave packets evolves independently as the solutions of the KdV equations. The solutions of the KdV equations are obtained analytically by using the tanh-function method. The dispersion relations of the model KdV equations are studied. Finally, we observe that the elevation of the water waves are in the form of traveling solitary waves. The horizontal and vertical velocities, and the phase diagrams of the velocity components have a nonlinear characters.PACS No.: 47.11.St

AbstractWe are concerned here with an analysis of the nonlinear irrotational gravity water wave problem with a free surface over a water flow bounded below by a flat bed. We employ a new formulation involving an expression (called flow force) which contains pressure terms, thus having the potential to handle intricate surface dynamic boundary conditions. The proposed formulation neither requires the graph assumption of the free surface nor does require the absence of stagnation points. By way of this alternative approach we prove the existence of a local curve of solutions to the water wave problem with fixed flow force and more relaxed assumptions.
