Three-dimensional gravity-capillary steady waves on water of finite-depth, which are uniformly translating in a horizontal propagation direction and periodic in a transverse direction, are considered. The exact Euler equations are formulated as a spatial dynamic system in which the variable used for the propagating direction is the time-like variable. The existence of the solutions of the system is determined by two non-dimensional constants: the Bond number b and λ (the inverse of the square of the Froude number). The property of Sobolev spaces and the spectral analysis show that the spectrum of the linear part consists of isolated eigenvalues of finite algebraic multiplicity and the number of purely imaginary eigenvalues are finite. The distribution of eigenvalues is described by b and λ. Assume that C₁ is the curve in (b,λ)-plane on which the first two eigenvalues for three-dimensional waves collide at the imaginary axis, and that the intersection point of the curve C₁ with the line λ=1 is (b₀,1) where b₀>0. Two cases (b₀,1) and (b,λ) â C₁ where 0< b< b₀ are investigated. A center-manifold reduction technique and a normal form analysis are applied to show that for each case the dynamical system can be reduced to a system of ordinary differential equations with finite dimensions. The dominant system for the case (b₀,1) is coupled Schrödinger-KdV equations while it is a Schrödinger equation for another case (b,λ) â C₁. Then, from the existence of the homoclinic orbit connecting to the two-dimensional periodic solution (called generalized solitary wave) for the dominant system, it is obtained that such generalized solitary wave solution persists for the original system by using the perturbation method and adjusting some appropriate constants. / Ph.

In this work we will demonstrate that the Cauchy problem associated with the Korteweg-de Vries equation, denoted by KdV, and Korteweg-de Vries modified equation, denoted by mKdV, with initial data in the space of Sobolev Hs(|R), is locally well-posed on Hs(|R), with s>3/4 for KdV and s&#8805;1/4 for mKdV, where the notion of well-posedness includes existence, uniqueness, persistence property of solution and continuous dependence of solution with respect to the initial data. This result is based on the works of Kenig, Ponce and Vega. The technique used to obtain these results is based on fixed point Banach theorem combined with the regularizantes effects of the group associated with the linear part. / Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Alagoas / Neste trabalho demonstraremos que o problema de Cauchy associado as equações de Korteweg-de Vries, denotada por KdV, e de Korteweg-de Vries modificada, denotada por mKdV, com dado inicial no espaço de Sobolev Hs(|R), é bem posto localmente em Hs(|R), com s>3/4 para a KdV e s&#8805;1/4 para a mKdV, onde a noção de boa postura inclui a existência, unicidade, a propriedade de persistência da solução e dependência contínua da solução com relação ao dado inicial.

This thesis presents Wronskian and Gram solutions to both the Korteweg-de Vries and Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equations, which are then scalable to arbitrarily large numbers of interacting solitons. Through variable transformation and use of the Hirota derivative, these nonlinear partial differential equations can be expressed in bilinear form. We present both Wronskian and Gram determinants which satisfy the equations. N=1,2,3 and higher order solutions are presented graphically; parameter tuning and the resultant behavioral differences are demonstrated and discussed. In addition, we compare these solutions to naturally occurring shallow water waves on beaches.

The main topic of this research is the simulation of internal wave interaction by a two-dimensional numerical model developed by Lynett & Liu (2002) of Cornell University, then modified by Cheng et al. (2005). The governing equation includes two-dimensional momentum and continuity equation. The model uses constant upper and lower layer densities; hence, these factors as well as the upper layer thickness. Should be determined before the simulation. This study discusses the interface depth and the density according to the buoyancy frequency distribution, the EOF, and the eigen-value based on the measured density profile. Besides, a method based on the two-layer KdV equation and the KdV of continuously-stratified fluid. By minimize the difference of linear celeriy, nonlinear and dispersion terms, the upper layer thicknes can also be determined. However, the interface will be much deeper than the depth of max temperature drop in the KdV method if the total water depth is bigger than 500 meters. Thus, the idealization buoyancy frequency formula proposed by Vlasenko et al. (2005) or Xie et al. (2010) are used to modify the buoyancy frequency. The internal wave in the Luzon Strait and the South China Sea are famous and deserves detailed study. We use the KdV method to find the parameters in the two fluid model to speed up the simulation of internal wave phenomena found in the satellite image.

In this thesis, first the tanh method, a method for obtaining exact traveling wave solutions to nonlinear differential equations, is introduced and described. Then the method is applied to two classes of Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations. The first one is a system of two (1 + 1)-dimensional nonlinear Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) type equations. The second one is a (3 + 1)-dimensional nonlinear wave equation. At the end, a few graphic representations of the obtained solitary wave solutions are provided, in correspondence to different values of the parameters used in the equations.

Nous nous étudions ici le problème d'Euler avec surface libre sur un fond non plat et dans un régime fortement non linéaire où l'hypothèse de faible amplitude de l'équation de KdV n'est pas vérifiée. On sait que, pour un tel régime, une généralisation de l'équation de KdV peut être dérivée et justifiée lorsque le fond est plat. Nous généralisons ici ces résultats en proposant une nouvelle classe d'équations prenant en compte des topographies variables. Nous démontrons également que ces nouveaux modèles sont bien posés. Nous les étudions aussi numériquement. Ensuite, nous améliorons quelques résultats sur l'existence des équations de Green-Naghdi (GN) dans le cas 1D. Dans le cas de 2D, nous dérivons et étudions un nouveau système de la même précision que les équations de GN usuelles, mais avec un meilleur comportement mathématique.

It is known, that for such regimes, a generalization of the KdV equation can be derived and justified when the bottom is flat. We generalize here this result with a new class of equations taking into account variable bottom topographies. We also demonstrate that these new models are well-posed. We then proceed to study them numerically and compare their behavior with the Boussinesq equations over uneven bottoms. Regimes with stronger nonlinearities than the KdV/Boussinesq regime are then investigated. In particular, a variable coefficient generalization of a Camassa-Holm type equation is derived and justified. Wealso study the Green-Naghdi equations that are commonly used in coastal oceanography todescribe the propagation of large amplitude surface waves. We improve previous results on the well posedness of these equations in the case of one dimensional surface waves. In the $2D$ case, we derive and study a new system of the same accuracy as the standard $2D $ Green-Naghdi equations, but with better mathematical behavior.

The derivation of centered compact schemes at interior and boundary grid points is performed and an analysis of stability and computational efficiency is given. Compact schemes are high order implicit methods for numerical solutions of initial and/or boundary value problems modeled by differential equations. These schemes generally require smaller stencils than the traditional explicit finite difference counterparts. To avoid numerical instabilities at and near boundaries and in regions of mesh non-uniformity, a numerical filtering technique is employed. Experiments for non-stationary linear problems (convection, heat conduction) and also for nonlinear problems (Burgers' and KdV equations) were performed. The compact solvers were combined with Euler and fourth-order Runge-Kutta time differencing. In most cases, the order of convergence of the numerical solution to the exact solution was the same as the formal order of accuracy of the compact schemes employed.
