A two-dimensional Boussinesq equation, \[u_{tt} - u_{xx} + 3(u^2)_{xx} - u_{xxxx} - u_{yy} = 0,\] is introduced to describe the propagation of gravity waves on the surface of water, in particular the head-on collision of oblique waves. This equation combines the two-way propagation of the classical Boussinesq equation with the (weak) dependence on a second spatial variable, as occurs in the two-dimensional Korteweg-de Vries (2D KdV) (or KPII) equation. Exact and general solitary-wave, two-soliton and resonant solutions are obtained from the Hirota bilinear form of the equation. The existence of a distributed-soliton solution is investigated, but it is shown that this is not a possibility. However the connection with the classical 2D KdV equation (which does possess such a solution) is explored via a suitable parametric representation of the dispersion relation.A three-soliton solution is also constructed, but this exists only if an auxiliary constraint among the six parameters is satisfied; thus the two-dimensional Boussinesq equation is not one of the class of completely integrable equations, confirming the analysis of Hietarinta (1987). This constraint is automatically satisfied for the classical Boussinesq equation (which is completely integrable). Graphical reproductions of some of the solutions of the two-dimensional Boussinesq equations are also presented.

The Kdv Equation

Some exceptional situations in fluid mechanics can be modeled by equations that are analytically solvable. The most famous example is the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation for shallow water waves in a channel. The exact soliton solution of this equation is derived. The Lax pair formalism for solving the general initial value problem is outlined. Two hamiltonian formalisms for the KdV equation (Fadeev–Zakharov and Magri) are explained. Then a short review of the geometry of curves (Frenet–Serret equations) is given. They are used to derive a remarkably simple equation for the propagation of a kink along a vortex filament. This equation of Hasimoto has surprising connections to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation and to the Heisenberg model of ferromagnetism. An exact soliton solution is found.

Based on the Hirota bilinear form, lump-type solutions, interaction solutions and periodic wave solutions of a (3[Formula: see text]+[Formula: see text]1)-dimensional Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation are obtained. The interaction between a lump-type soliton and a stripe soliton including two phenomena: fission and fusion, are illustrated. The dynamical behaviors are shown more intuitively by graphics.

The Kadomtsev-Petviashvili and Boussinesq equations (uxxx -6uux)x -utx ±uyy = 0; (uxxx - 6uux)x +uxx ±utt = 0; are completely integrable, and in particular, they possess the three-soliton solution. This article aims to expose a uniqueness property of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) and Boussinesq equations in the integrability theory. It is shown that the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili and Boussinesq equations and their dimensional reductions are the only integrable equations among a class of generalized Kadomtsev-Petviashvili and Boussinesq equations (ux1x1x1 - 6uux1 )x1 + ΣMi;j=1aijuxixj = 0; where the aij’s are arbitrary constants and M is an arbitrary natural number, if the existence of the three-soliton solution is required

Hirota Bilinear

The well known soliton solutions of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equations are written in terms of determinants of Wronskian form. By using this compact representation together with the Hirota bilinear form of the equations, it is demonstrated by elementary algebraic methods that the N -soliton solution satisfies the evolution equation and the N and N + 1-soliton solutions satisfy the associated Bäcklund transformation. The relation of these results to the eigensolutions of the inverse scattering method and to the more usual representation of the N -soliton solution is also given.

With the help of symbolic computation, the Whitham-Broer-Kaup shallow water model is analyzed for its integrability through the Painlev´e analysis. Then, by truncating the Painlevé expansion at the constant level term with two singular manifolds, the Hirota bilinear form is obtained and the corresponding N-soliton solution with graphic analysis is also given. Furthermore, a bilinear auto-Bäcklund transformation is constructed for the Whitham-Broer-Kaup model, from which a one-soliton solution is presented.

This paper is a study of the problem of nonlinear wave motion of the free surface of a body of fluid with a periodically varying bottom. The object is to describe the character of wave propagation in a long–wave asymptotic regime, extending the results of R. Rosales & G. Papanicolaou (1983 Stud. Appl. Math. 68 , 89–102) on periodic bottoms for two–dimensional flows.We take the point of view of perturbation of a Hamiltonian system dependent on a small scaling parameter, with the starting point being Zakharov's Hamiltonian (V. E. Zakharov 1968 J. Appl. Mech. Tech. Phys. 9, 1990–1994) for the Euler equations for water waves. We consider bottom topography which is periodic in horizontal variables on a short length–scale, with the amplitude of variation being of the same order as the fluid depth. The bottom may also exhibit slow variations at the same length–scale as, or longer than, the order of the wavelength of the surface waves. We do not take up the question of random bottom variations, a topic which is considered in Rosales & Papanicolaou (1983). In the two–dimensional case of waves in a channel, we give an alternate derivation of the effective Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation that is obtained in Rosales & Papanicolaou (1983). In addition, we obtain effective Boussinesq equations that describe the motion of bidirectional long waves, in cases in which the bottom possesses both short and long–scale variations. In certain cases we also obtain unidirectional equations that are similar to the KdV equation. In three dimensions we obtain effective three–dimensional long–wave equations in a Boussinesq scaling regime, and again in certain cases an effective Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) system in the appropriate unidirectional limit. The computations for these results are performed in the framework of an asymptotic analysis of multiple–scale operators. In the present case this involves the Dirichlet–Neumann operator for the fluid domain which takes into account the variations in bottom topography as well as the deformations of the free surface from equilibrium.

New Equation

Summary A new operator equation for periodic gravity waves on water of finite depth is derived and investigated; it is equivalent to Babenko’s equation considered in Kuznetsov and Dinvay (Water Waves, 1, 2019). Both operators in the proposed equation are nonlinear and depend on the parameter equal to the mean depth of water, whereas each solution defines a parametric representation for a symmetric free surface profile. The latter is a component of a solution of the two-dimensional, nonlinear problem describing steady waves propagating in the absence of surface tension. Bifurcation curves (including a branching one) are obtained numerically for solutions of the new equation; they are compared with known results.

Long Wave Approximation

This paper is devoted to the study of the long wave approximation for water waves under the influence of the gravity and a Coriolis forcing. We start by deriving a generalization of the Boussinesq equations in one (spatial) dimension and we rigorously justify them as an asymptotic model of water wave equations. These new Boussinesq equations are not the classical Boussinesq equations: a new term due to the vorticity and the Coriolis forcing appears that cannot be neglected. We study the Boussinesq regime and derive and fully justify different asymptotic models when the bottom is flat: a linear equation linked to the Klein–Gordon equation admitting the so-called Poincaré waves; the Ostrovsky equation, which is a generalization of the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation in the presence of a Coriolis forcing, when the rotation is weak; and the KdV equation when the rotation is very weak. Therefore, this work provides the first mathematical justification of the Ostrovsky equation. Finally, we derive a generalization of the Green–Naghdi equations in one spatial dimension for small topography variations and we show that this model is consistent with the water wave equations.

AbstractThe generalized Boussinesq equation is a useful model to describe the water wave. In this paper, with the coupled Alice-Bob (AB) systems, the nonlocal Boussinesq system can be obtained via the parity and time reversal symmetry reduction. By introducing an extended Bäcklund transformation, the symmetry breaking rogue wave, symmetry breaking soliton and symmetry breaking breather solutions for a nonlocal Boussinesq system are obtained through the derived Hirota bilinear form. The residual symmetry and finite symmetry transformation of the nonlocal AB-Boussinesq system are also studied.
