In this paper, with the symbolic computation, the doubly-periodic solutions of the Davey–Stewartson (DS) system, which describes the modulational instability of uniform train of weakly nonlinear water waves in the two-dimensional space, are investigated in terms of the Weierstrass elliptic function ℘(ξ; g2, g3). In particular, we also give new solitary wave solutions of this system.

Steady two-dimensional surface capillary–gravity waves in irrotational motion are considered on constant depth. By exploiting the holomorphic properties in the physical plane and introducing some transformations of the boundary conditions at the free surface, new exact relations and equations for the free surface only are derived. In particular, a physical plane counterpart of the Babenko equation is obtained. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Nonlinear water waves’.

With the aid of symbolic computation, nine families of new doubly periodic solutions are obtained for the (2+1)-dimensional long-wave and short-wave resonance interaction (LSRI) system in terms of the Weierstrass elliptic function method. Moreover Jacobian elliptic function solutions and solitary wave solutions are also given as simple limits of doubly periodic solutions.

A new method valid for highly dispersive and highly nonlinear water waves is presented. It combines a time-stepping of the exact surface boundary conditions with an approximate series expansion solution to the Laplace equation in the interior domain. The starting point is an exact solution to the Laplace equation given in terms of infinite series expansions from an arbitrary z-level. We replace the infinite series operators by finite series (Boussinesq-type) approximations involving up to fifth-derivative operators. The finite series are manipulated to incorporate Padé approximants providing the highest possible accuracy for a given number of terms. As a result, linear and nonlinear wave characteristics become very accurate up to wavenumbers as high as kh = 40, while the vertical variation of the velocity field becomes applicable for kh up to 12. These results represent a major improvement over existing Boussinesq-type formulations in the literature. A numerical model is developed in a single horizontal dimension and it is used to study phenomena such as solitary waves and their impact on vertical walls, modulational instability in deep water involving recurrence or frequency downshift, and shoaling of regular waves up to breaking in shallow water.

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.

This paper is aimed to validate smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) on the generation and propagation of water waves. It is a classical problem in marine engineering but a still important problem because there is a strong demand to generate intended nonlinear water waves and to predict complicated interactions between nonlinear water waves and fixed/floating bodies, which is indispensable for further ocean utilization and development. A dedicated experiment was conducted in a large wave basin of Kobe University equipped with a piston-type wavemaker, at three water depths using several amplitudes and periods of piston motion for the validation of SPH mainly on the long-distance propagation of water waves. An SPH-based two-dimensional numerical wave tank (NWT) is used for numerical simulation and is accelerated by a graphics processing units (GPU), assuming future applications to realistic engineering problems. In addition, comparison of large-deformation of shallow water waves, when passing over a fixed box-shape obstacle, is also investigated to discuss the applicability to wave-structure interaction problems. Finally, an SPH-based three-dimensional NWT is also validated by comparing with an experiment and two-dimensional simulation. Through these validation studies, detailed discussion on the accuracy of SPH simulation of water waves is made as well as providing a recommended set of SPH parameters.
