The problem of interaction of a smooth nonlinear two-dimensional wave field and a large-amplitude quasi-plane solitary wave is considered in the framework of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation by means of the asymptotic multiscale technique. It is shown that their interaction results in an essential transformation of a nonlinear wave field including the birth, death and translation of soliton components of the field spectrum.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
