AbstractIt is well known that transcritical flow past an obstacle may generate undular bores propagating away from the obstacle. This flow has been successfully modelled in the framework of the forced Korteweg–de Vries equation, where numerical simulations and asymptotic analyses have shown that the unsteady undular bores are connected by a locally steady solution over the obstacle. In this paper we present an overview of the underlying theory, together with some recent work on the case where the obstacle has a large width.

This paper extends a previous study of free-surface flow over two localised obstacles using the framework of the forced Korteweg–de Vries equation, to an analogous study of flow over two localised holes, or a combination of an obstacle and a hole. Importantly the terminology obstacle or hole can be reversed for a stratified fluid and refers more precisely to the relative polarity of the forcing and the solitary wave solution of the unforced Korteweg–de Vries equation. As in the previous study, our main concern is with the transcritical regime when the oncoming flow has a Froude number close to unity. In the transcritical regime at early times, undular bores are produced upstream and downstream of each forcing site. We then describe the interaction of these undular bores between the forcing sites, and the outcome at very large times.

The flow of water over an obstacle is a fundamental problem in fluid mechanics. Transcritical flow means the wave phenomenon near the exact criticality. The transcritical flow cannot be handled by linear solutions as the energy is unable to propagate away from the obstacle. Thus, it is important to carry out a study to identify suitable model to analyse the transcritical flow. The aim of this study is to analyse the transcritical flow over a bump as localized obstacles where the bump consequently generates upstream and downstream flows. Nonlinear shallow water forced Korteweg-de Vries (fKdV) model is used to analyse the flow over the bump. This theoretical model, containing forcing functions represents bottom topography is considered as the simplified model to describe water flows over a bump. The effect of water dispersion over the forcing region is investigated using the fKdV model. Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM) is used to solve this theoretical fKdV model. The HAM solution which is chosen with a special choice of }-value describes the physical flow of waves and the significance of dispersion over abump is elaborated.

It is well-known that transcritical flow over a localized obstacle generates upstream and downstream nonlinear wavetrains. The flow has been successfully modelled in the framework of the forced Korteweg–de Vries equation, where numerical and asymptotic analytical solutions have shown that the upstream and downstream nonlinear wavetrains have the structure of unsteady undular bores, connected by a locally steady solution over the obstacle, which is elevated on the upstream side and depressed on the downstream side. Inthispaper we consider the analogous transcritical flow over a step, primarily in the context of water waves. We use numerical and asymptotic analytical solutions of the forced Korteweg–de Vries equation, together with numerical solutions of the full Eulerequations, to demonstrate that a positive step generates only an upstream-propagating undular bore, and a negative step generates only a downstream-propagating undular bore.

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>The aim of this work is to study the asymptotic stability of the nonlinear Korteweg-de Vries equation in the presence of a delayed term in the internal feedback. We first consider the case where the weight of the term with delay is smaller than the weight of the term without delay and we prove a semiglobal stability result for any lengths. Secondly we study the case where the support of the term without delay is not included in the support of the term with delay. In that case, we give a local exponential stability result if the weight of the delayed term is small enough. We illustrate these results by some numerical simulations.</p>

In this paper, we deduce the (2+1)-dimensional Schwarz–Korteweg–de Vries equation from two (1+1)-dimensional equations. Based on the resulting Lax pairs, we present its [Formula: see text]-fold Darboux transformation. From a trivial solution, we get [Formula: see text]-soliton and [Formula: see text]-soliton solutions of the (2+1)-dimensional Schwarz–Korteweg–de Vries equation. The asymptotic analyses of the [Formula: see text]-soliton, [Formula: see text]-soliton and [Formula: see text]-soliton solutions are presented theoretically and graphically.

The Rosenau-Korteweg-de Vries equation describes the wave-wave and wave-wall interactions. In this paper, we prove that, as the diffusion parameter is near zero, it coincides with the Korteweg-de Vries equation. The proof relies on deriving suitable a priori estimates together with an application of the Aubin-Lions Lemma.
