The analytical solution to the Boussinesq equations for solitary waves travelling in uniform water channels with sloping side walls is presented. Quantitative effects of channel cross-sectional geometry and channel side-wall slope at the waterline on the wave profile and wave speed, as well as the criteria for positive solitary waves to exist, are discussed. The new Boussinesq solution is also compared with the existing Korteweg-de Vries solution obtained by Peregrine. It is found that the two solutions are consistent for small amplitude waves while, for relatively large waves, the Boussinesq solution gives different predictions for wave speed and for the criteria for solitary waves to exist.

We study the stability of positive radially symmetric solitary waves for a three dimensional generalisation of the Korteweg de Vries equation, which describes nonlinear ion-acoustic waves in a magnetised plasma, and for a generalisation in dimension two of the Benjamin–Bona–Mahony equation.

Using one-dimensional Beji & Nadaoka extended Boussinesq equation, a numerical study of solitary waves over submerged breakwaters has been conducted. Two different obstacles of rectangular as well as circular geometries over the seabed inside a channel have been considered in view of solitary waves passing by. Since these bars possess sharp vertical edges, they cannot directly be modeled by Boussinesq equations. Thus, sharply sloped lines over a short span have replaced the vertical sides, and the interactions of waves including reflection, transmission, and dispersion over the seabed with circular and rectangular shapes during the propagation have been investigated. In this numerical simulation, finite element scheme has been used for spatial discretization. Linear elements along with linear interpolation functions have been utilized for velocity components and the water surface elevation. For time integration, a fourth-order Adams-Bashforth-Moulton predictor-corrector method has been applied. Results indicate that neglecting the vertical edges and ignoring the vortex shedding would have minimal effect on the propagating waves and reflected waves with weak nonlinearity.

This paper presents both the theoretical and numerical explanations for the existence of a two-soliton solution for a second-order Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. Our results show that there exists "quasi-soliton" solutions for the equation in which solitary waves almost retain their identities in a suitable physical regime after they interact, and bear a close resemblance to the pure KdV solitons.

Flow solutions in the presence of pulsation (e.g. from the heart) are developed. Bessel functions are introduced as an aside. The concepts of shocks and solitary waves (solitons) are then discussed as examples of nonlinear effects. The strategy for dealing with intrinsic nonlinearity is described in terms of mode coupling and the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation.
