Algebraic soliton interactions with a periodic or quasi-periodic random force are investigated via the Benjamin-Ono equation, which models internal waves in a two-layer fluid. The random force is modeled as a Fourier series with a finite number of modes and random phases uniformly distributed, while its frequency spectrum has a Gaussian shape centered at a peak frequency. The expected value of the averaged soliton wave field is computed asymptotically and compared with numerical results, with a strong agreement shown. We identify parameter regimes where the averaged soliton field splits into two steady pulses and a regime where the soliton field splits into two solitons traveling in opposite directions. In the latter case, the averaged soliton speeds are variable. In both scenarios, the soliton field is damped by the external force. Additionally, we identify a regime where the averaged soliton exhibits the following behavior: it splits into two distinct solitons and then recombines to form a single soliton. This motion is periodic over time.
