Approximate conservation laws in the KdV equation

Abstract: The Korteweg-de Vries equation is known to yield a valid description of surface waves for waves of small amplitude and large wavelength. The equation features a number of conserved integrals, but there is no consensus among scientists as to the physical meaning of these integrals. In particular, it is not clear whether these integrals are related to the conservation of momentum or energy, and some researchers have questioned the conservation of energy in the dynamics governed by the equation. In this note it i… Show more

“…Now given initial data (ξ 0 , u 0 ) ∈ H s × H s+1 and the solution (ξ, u) ∈ C (0, T , H s × H s+1 ) of the system (9) we define initial data for (1) by η 0 = ξ 0 , and using the solution η ∈ C (0, T , H s ) guaranteed by Theorem 8 we define v K dV by (12). Then following the proof laid out in [11], we can obtain the following estimate.…”

“…However, the charges of (3.15) and (3.20) do not have a direct interpretation and their relationships to the relevant physical quantities have recently been considered (see e.g. [27]). Third, in order to achieve the trivial charges q (−n) , n = 3, 5, 7 we have removed the non-homogeneous terms, which were dubbed as "anomalies" in [9], and conveniently rewritten the relevant equations as exact conservation laws.…”

“…Some of them are the Boussinesq-type approximations that stimulated many wave motion issues in coastal engineering and that may handle most of wave phenomena occurring in near-shore zones (such as refraction, diffraction, shoaling, frequency dispersion and nonlinear interaction). (See [2,16,18,19,29] for a justification of such approximations.) Nevertheless these models cannot predict either where and when a wave breaks or, particularly, the hydrodynamic features of a breaking wave.…”
