<p>The Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation which is the third order nonlinear PDE has been of interest since Scott Russell (1844) . In this paper we study this kind of equation by Painleve equation and through this study, we find that KdV equation satisfies Painleve property, but we could not find a solution directly, so we transformed the KdV equation to the like-KdV equation, therefore, we were able to find four exact solutions to the original KdV equation.</p>

AbstractEquations governing modulations of weakly nonlinear water waves are described. The modulations are coupled with wave-induced mean flows except in the case of water deeper than the modulation length scale. Equations suitable for water depths of the order the modulation length scale are deduced from those derived by Davey and Stewartson [5] and Dysthe [6]. A number of ases in which these equations reduce to a one dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation are enumerated.Several analytical solutions of NLS equations are presented, with discussion of some of their implications for describing the propagation of water waves. Some of the solutions have not been presented in detail, or in convenient form before. One is new, a “rational” solution describing an “amplitude peak” which is isolated in space-time. Ma's [13] soli ton is particularly relevant to the recurrence of uniform wave trains in the experiment of Lake et al.[10].In further discussion it is pointed out that although water waves are unstable to three-dimensional disturbances, an effective description of weakly nonlinear two-dimensional waves would be a useful step towards describing ocean wave propagation.

The article is devoted to the problem of propagation of weakly nonlinear wave-packets along contact surfaces in a three-layer hydrodynamic system "half space – layer – layer with rigid lid". The condition of solvability of the problem in the third-order approximation is obtained, the evolution equation is derived in the form of a nonlinear Schrodinger equation and the modulation stability condition for its solutions is obtained. The stability diagram and its analysis are presented for the solution which takes place in the case of the balance between dispersion and non-linearity.
