The existence of steady solitary waves on deep water was suggested on physical grounds by Longuet-Higgins (1988) and later confirmed by numerical computation (Longuet-Higgins 1989; Vanden-Broeck & Dias 1992). Their numerical methods are accurate only for waves of finite amplitude. In this paper we show that solitary capillary-gravity waves of small amplitude are in fact a special case of envelope solitons, namely those having a carrier wave of length 2π(T/ρg)1½2 (g = gravity, T = surface tension, ρ = density). The dispersion relation $c^2 = 2(1-\frac{11}{32}\alpha^2_{\max)$ between the speed c and the maximum surface slope αmax is derived from the nonlinear Schrödinger equation for deep-water solitons (Djordjevik & Redekopp 1977) and is found to provide a good asymptote for the numerical calculations.

AbstractThe amplitude modulation of a finite amplitude drift wave by zonal flows in a non-uniform magnetoplasma is considered. The evolution of a nonlinearly coupled drift wave-zonal flow (DW-ZF) system is governed by a nonlinear equation for the slowly varying envelope of the drift waves, which drives (via the Reynolds stress of the drift wave envelope) the second equation for zonal flows. The nonlinear dispersion relation for the modulational instability of a drift wave pump is derived and analyzed. In a special case, the DW-ZF system of equations reduces to the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation, which admits localized solutions in the form of DW envelope solitons, accompanied by a shock-like ZF structure. Numerical solutions of the nonlinearly coupled DW-ZF systems reveal that an arbitrary spatial distribution of the DW rapidly decays into an array of localized drift wave structures, propagating with different speeds, that are robust and, in many respect, behave as solitons. The corresponding ZF evolves into the sequence of shocks that produces a strong shearing, i.e. multiple plasma flows in alternating directions.
