Linear Stability of Solitary Waves for the One‐Dimensional Benney–Luke and Klein–Gordon Equations

The linear stability of the solitary waves for the one‐dimensional Benney–Luke equation in the case of strong surface tension is investigated rigorously and the critical wave speeds are computed explicitly. For the Klein–Gordon equation, the stability of the traveling standing waves is considered and the exact ranges of the wave speeds and the frequencies needed for stability are derived. This is achieved via the abstract stability criteria recently developed by Stanislavova and Stefanov.     

Breaking Waves and Spectral Analysis of the Two‐Dimensional KdV–Bogoyavlenskii Equation

We study here the initial value problem for a two‐dimensional Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation, first derived by Calogero and Bogoyavlenskii, by means of the inverse scattering transform. The dynamics of the discrete spectrum of an associated Schrödinger operator is far richer than that of KdV equation. Even for optimal eigenvalues, generic smooth solutions may develop shocks with multiple branches and/or cusp singularities in finite time. However, evolution may move poles of the transmission coefficient off the imaginary axis, destroy or even create them. We characterize conditions to prevent these pathologies before explosion time and describe ample classes of solutions, corresponding to both continuous and discrete spectrum. We also find that in certain conditions new eigenvalues might be created; in these cases a minimal set of initial spectral data must incorporate additionally the transmission coefficient on the entire plane. The previous results are applied to describe the Cauchy problem corresponding to initial data combinations of delta terms and derivatives and show that for long time the delta singularity may persist or be smoothed to a cusp‐discontinuity. Finally, we give conditions under which the evolution is reduced to the classical KdV.     

Three Dimensional Flexural–Gravity Waves

Waves propagating on the surface of a three–dimensional ideal fluid of arbitrary depth bounded above by an elastic sheet that resists flexing are considered in the small amplitude modulational asymptotic limit. A Benney–Roskes–Davey–Stewartson model is derived, and we find that fully localized wavepacket solitary waves (or lumps) may bifurcate from the trivial state at the minimum of the phase speed of the problem for a range of depths. Results using a linear and two nonlinear elastic models are compared. The stability of these solitary wave solutions and the application of the BRDS equation to unsteady wave packets is also considered. The results presented may have applications to the dynamics of continuous ice sheets and their breakup.     

Spectral Stability of Deep Two‐Dimensional Gravity‐Capillary Water Waves

In this contribution we study the spectral stability problem for periodic traveling gravity‐capillary waves on a two‐dimensional fluid of infinite depth. We use a perturbative approach that computes the spectrum of the linearized water wave operator as an analytic function of the wave amplitude/slope. We extend the highly accurate method of Transformed Field Expansions to address surface tension in the presence of both simple and repeated eigenvalues, then numerically simulate the evolution of the spectrum as the wave amplitude is increased. We also calculate explicitly the first nonzero correction to the flat‐water spectrum, which we observe to accurately predict the stability (or instability) for all amplitudes within the disk of analyticity of the spectrum. With this observation in mind, the disk of analyticity of the flat state spectrum is numerically estimated as a function of the Bond number and the Bloch parameter, and compared to the value of the wave slope at the first finite amplitude eigenvalue collision.     

On the Finite‐Time Blowup of a One‐Dimensional Model for the Three‐Dimensional Axisymmetric Euler Equations

In connection with the recent proposal for possible singularity formation at the boundary for solutions of three‐dimensional axisymmetric incompressible Euler's equations (Luo and Hou, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA (2014)), we study models for the dynamics at the boundary and show that they exhibit a finite‐time blowup from smooth data. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Large‐Scale Behavior of Three‐Dimensional Continuous Phase Coexistence Models

We study a class of three‐dimensional continuous phase coexistence models, and show that, under different symmetry assumptions on the potential, the large‐scale behavior of such models near a bifurcation point is described by the dynamical models for p ∊ {2,3,4}. This result is specific to space dimension 3 and does not hold in dimension 2. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Global Small Solutions to an MHD‐Type System: The Three‐Dimensional Case

In this paper, we consider the global well‐posedness of a three‐dimensional incompressible MHD type system with smooth initial data that is close to some nontrivial steady state. It is a coupled system between the Navier‐Stokes equations and a free transport equation with a universal nonlinear coupling structure. The main difficulty of the proof lies in exploring the dissipative mechanism of the system due to the fact that there is a free transport equation of ? in the coupled equations and only the horizontal derivatives of ? is dissipative with respect to time. To achieve this, we first employ anisotropic Littlewood‐Paley analysis to establish the key L¹(? ⁺ ; Lip(?³)) estimate to the third component of the velocity field. Then we prove the global well‐posedness to this system by the energy method, which depends crucially on the divergence‐free condition of the velocity field. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Modulational Instability in the Whitham Equation for Water Waves

We show that periodic traveling waves with sufficiently small amplitudes of the Whitham equation, which incorporates the dispersion relation of surface water waves and the nonlinearity of the shallow water equations, are spectrally unstable to long‐wavelengths perturbations if the wave number is greater than a critical value, bearing out the Benjamin–Feir instability of Stokes waves; they are spectrally stable to square integrable perturbations otherwise. The proof involves a spectral perturbation of the associated linearized operator with respect to the Floquet exponent and the small‐amplitude parameter. We extend the result to related, nonlinear dispersive equations.

Global Well‐Posedness of the Three‐Dimensional Primitive Equations with Only Horizontal Viscosity and Diffusion

In this paper, we consider the initial boundary value problem of the three‐dimensional primitive equations for planetary oceanic and atmospheric dynamics with only horizontal eddy viscosity in the horizontal momentum equations and only horizontal diffusion in the temperature equation. Global well‐posedness of the strong solution is established for any H² initial data. An N‐dimensional logarithmic Sobolev embedding inequality, which bounds the L^∞‐norm in terms of the L^q‐norms up to a logarithm of the L^p‐norm for p > N of the first‐order derivatives, and a system version of the classic Grönwall inequality are exploited to establish the required a~priori H² estimates for global regularity.© 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

A Model Equation to Study the Effects of Nonlinearity,Surface Tension and Viscosity in Water Waves

The formation of short capillary waves on long, finite amplitude gravity waves is studied by solving numerically a non-linear partial differential equation which models effects of surface tension, viscosity, unsteadiness and finite amplitude.     

Ermakov–Ray–Reid Systems in (2+1)‐Dimensional Rotating Shallow Water Theory

A (2+1)‐dimensional rotating shallow water system with an underlying circular paraboloidal bottom topography is shown to admit a multiparameter integrable nonlinear subsystem of Ermakov–Ray–Reid type. The latter system, which describes the time evolution of the semi‐axes of the elliptical moving shoreline on the paraboidal basin, is also Hamiltonian. The complete solution of the generic eight‐dimensional dynamical system governing the reduction is obtained in terms of an elliptic integral representation.     

Soliton Interactions of the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili Equation and Generation of Large-Amplitude Water Waves

We study the maximum wave amplitude produced by line-soliton interactions of the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili II (KPII) equation, and we discuss a mechanism of generation of large amplitude shallow water waves by multi-soliton interactions of KPII. We also describe a method to predict the possible maximum wave amplitude from asymptotic data. Finally, we report on numerical simulations of multi-soliton complexes of the KPII equation which verify the robustness of all types of soliton interactions and web-like structure.     

On Nash Equilibria for Noncooperative Games Governed by the Burgers Equation

Existence of a Nash equilibrium in a noncooperative game governed by the one-dimensional Burgers equation, proposed in the case of pointwise controls in Ref. 1, is proved under data qualifications that guarantee the diffusion term in the Burgers’ equation to be dominant enough with respect to the uniform convexity of the payoffs.

On the Integrability of a Generalized Variable‐Coefficient Forced Korteweg‐de Vries Equation in Fluids

With the inhomogeneities of media taken into account, under investigation is hereby a generalized variable‐coefficient forced Korteweg‐de Vries (vc‐fKdV) equation, which describes shallow‐water waves, internal gravity waves, etc. Under an integrable constraint condition on the variable coefficients, in this paper, the complete integrability of the generalized vc‐fKdV equation is proposed. By virtue of a generalization of Bells polynomials, we systematically present its bilinear representations, Bäcklund transformations, Lax pairs and Darboux covariant Lax pairs, which can be reduced to the ones of some integrable models, such as vcKdV model, cylindrical KdV equation, and an analytical model of tsunami generation. It is very interesting that its bilinear formulism is free for the integrable constraint condition. Besides, researching the Lax equations yield its infinitely conservation laws, all conserved densities and fluxes of them are obtained by explicit recursion formulas. Furthermore, by considering its bilinear formulism with an extra auxiliary variable, we present the soliton solutions and Riemann theta function periodic wave solutions of the equation. According to the constraint among the nonlinear, dispersive, and line‐damping coefficients, we further discuss the solitonic structures and interaction properties by some graphic analysis. Finally, the relationships between the periodic wave solutions and soliton solutions are presented in detail by a limiting procedure.     

Change of Polarity for Periodic Waves in the Variable‐Coefficient Korteweg‐de Vries Equation

We examine the variable‐coefficient Kortweg‐de Vries equation for the situation when the coefficient of the quadratic nonlinear term changes sign at a certain critical point. This case has been widely studied for a solitary wave, which is extinguished at the critical point and replaced by a train of solitary waves of the opposite polarity to the incident wave, riding on a pedestal of the original polarity. Here, we examine the same case but for a modulated periodic wave train. Using an asymptotic analysis, we show that in contrast a periodic wave is preserved with a finite amplitude as it passes through the critical point, but a phase change is generated causing the wave to reverse its polarity.     

Linear Waves and Nonlinear Wave Interactions in a Bounded Three‐Layer Fluid System

We investigate possible linear waves and nonlinear wave interactions in a bounded three‐layer fluid system using both analysis and numerical simulations. For sharp interfaces, we obtain analytic solutions for the admissible linear mode‐one parent/signature waves that exist in the system. For diffuse interfaces, we compute the overtaking interaction of nonlinear mode‐two solitary waves. Mathematically, owing to a small loss of energy to dispersive tails during the interaction, the waves are not solitons. However, this energy loss is extremely minute, and because the dispersively coupled waves in the system exhibit the three types of Lax KdV interactions, we conclude that for all intents and purposes the solitary waves exhibit soliton behavior.
