Envelope equation for water waves : Soliton turbulence and wavebreaking

Journal of Ocean Engineering and Marine Energy. 2017. Vol. 3. No. 4. P. 409–415.
Dyachenko A., Kachulin D., Zakharov V.

Water waves have long been a subject of attention of both mathematicians and physicists. The formulation of the problem is simple enough to be considered fundamental, but as of yet many questions still remain unanswered and many phenomena associated with wind-driven turbulence remain puzzling. We consider a “unidirectional” motion of weakly nonlinear gravity waves, i.e., we assume that the spectrum of the free surface contains only nonnegative wavenumbers. We use remarkably simple form of the water wave equation that we named “the super compact equation”. This new equation includes a nonlinear wave term (à la NLSE) together with an advection term that can describe the initial stage of wave breaking. This equation has also very important property. It allows to introduce exact envelope for waves without assumption of narrowness bandwidth.

Linear dependencies, polynomial factors in the Duke–Erdős forbidden sunflower problem

This paper investigates the theoretical limits of object detection within isotropic scattering media using single-photon lidar. Within a simplified model, we derive the fundamental relationship between the maximum attainable detection range and the required photon count per pulse. Two distinct limiting regimes are analyzed: the ballistic photon regime, which maintains high spatial resolution but necessitates ...

This work presents a new analytical solution of the shallow water theory for cylindrical propagation of long tsunami-like waves in the basin of variable depth.

In this letter, bipolar solitary wave interactions in the Schamel equation are revisited numerically. Two simulation settings are considered: repeated collisions in a periodic domain, and the interaction of a positive solitary wave with a train of negative polarity solitary waves of equal amplitude. In the first case, when the amplitudes are comparable, the larger ...

Modulational Instability and Wave Dynamics in the Rotated Modified Gardner–Whitham Equation

This article concerns the study of modulational instability in the rotated-modified Gardner–Whitham (rmGW) equation. This model incorporates both quadratic and cubic nonlinearities, similarly to the Gardner equation, while also retaining the fully dispersive character of the Whitham equation together with a large-scale dispersive term analogous to that in the Ostrovsky equation. Using a classical multiple-scale asymptotic expansion, we ...

Two Models for 2D Deep Water Waves

In this paper we propose two Hamiltonian models to describe two-dimensional deep water waves propagating on the surface of an ideal incompressible three-dimensional fluid. The idea is based on taking advantage of the Zakharov equation for one-dimensional waves which can be written in the form of so-called compact equations. We generalize these equations to the ...

We study the nonlinear modulation property of flexural-gravity waves on a water surface covered by a compressed ice sheet of given thickness and density in a basin of a constant depth. For weakly nonlinear perturbations, we derive the nonlinear Schrodinger equation and investigate the conditions when a quasi-sinusoidal wave becomes unstable with respect to amplitude modulation.
