Weak and Strong Interactions between Internal Solitary Waves

Abstract: The interaction of weakly nonlinear long internal gravity waves is studied. Weak interactions occur when the wave phase speeds are unequal; this case includes that of a head‐on collision. It is shown that each wave satisfies a Korteweg‐de Vries equation, and the main effect of the interaction is described by a phase shift. Strong interactions occur when the wave phase speeds are nearly equal although the waves belong to different modes. This case is described by a pair of coupled Korteweg‐de Vries equations, f… Show more

“…Besides the physical applications of coupled KdV systems at low energies [17][18][19], one of the Poisson structures of the KdV equation is related to the Virasoro algebra with central terms. The latest is a fundamental symmetry of string theory, a proposal for a consistent quantum gravity theory.…”

“…We shall solve (12) in X. Due to Proposition 3.1, in order to apply a fixed point argument, it is sufficient to estimate the Y norm of the bilinear form B(u, v) in terms of the X norms of u and v. We have the following Proposition which will be proved in the next section.…”

“…The model consists of two coupled Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equations (shallow fluid) or of two coupled "intermediate long wave" equations (ILW) (deep fluid). The interaction of internal gravity waves propagating in one horizontal direction has been considered by Gear and Grimshaw [12]. Rigorous mathematical results in this case have been obtained by Bona et al [4], Ash, Cohen and Wang [3], Albert, Bona and Saut [1] (cf.…”

“…When L ≡ 0, system (1.1) was derived by Gear and Grimshaw in [7] as a model to describe strong interactions of two long internal gravity waves in a stratified fluid, where the two waves are assumed to correspond to different modes of the linearized equations of motion. It has the structure of a pair of KdV equations with both linear and nonlinear coupling terms.…”
