An appropriate nonlinear mechanism may create the rogue waves. Perhaps the simplest mechanism, which is able to create considerate changes in the wave amplitude, is the nonlinear interaction of shallow-water solitons. The most well-known examples of such structure are Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) solitons. The Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation, which describes the shallow water waves, is a basic weakly dispersive and weakly nonlinear model. Basing on the homogeneous balanced method, we achieve the general rational solution of a classical KdV equation. Numerical simulations of the solution allow us to explain rare and unexpected appearance of the rogue waves. We compare the rogue waves with the ones generated by the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation which can describe deep water wave trains. The numerical results illustrate that the amplitude of the KdV equation is higher than the one of the NLS equation, which may causes more serious damage of engineering structures in the ocean. This nonlinear mechanism will provide a theoretical guidance in the ocean and physics.

AbstractEquations governing modulations of weakly nonlinear water waves are described. The modulations are coupled with wave-induced mean flows except in the case of water deeper than the modulation length scale. Equations suitable for water depths of the order the modulation length scale are deduced from those derived by Davey and Stewartson [5] and Dysthe [6]. A number of ases in which these equations reduce to a one dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation are enumerated.Several analytical solutions of NLS equations are presented, with discussion of some of their implications for describing the propagation of water waves. Some of the solutions have not been presented in detail, or in convenient form before. One is new, a “rational” solution describing an “amplitude peak” which is isolated in space-time. Ma's [13] soli ton is particularly relevant to the recurrence of uniform wave trains in the experiment of Lake et al.[10].In further discussion it is pointed out that although water waves are unstable to three-dimensional disturbances, an effective description of weakly nonlinear two-dimensional waves would be a useful step towards describing ocean wave propagation.

In this paper, the critical condition to achieve rational solutions of the multi-component nonlinear Schr\”odinger equation is proposed by introducing two nilpotent Lax matrices. Taking the series multisections of the vector eigenfunction as a set of fundamental eigenfunctions,an explicit formula of the $n$th-order rational solution is obtained by the degenerate Darboux transformation, which is used to generate some new patterns of rogue waves. A conjecture about the degree of the $n$th-order rogue waves is summarized. This conjecture also holds for rogue waves of the multi-component complex modified Korteweg-de Vries equation. Finally, the semi-rational solutions of the Manakov system are discussed.

A nonlinear analysis of the interaction between a water wave and a floating ice cover in river channels is presented. The one-dimensional weakly nonlinear equation for shallow water wave propagation in a uniform channel with a floating ice cover is derived. The ice cover is assumed to be a thin uniform elastic plate. The weakly nonlinear equation is a fifth-order KdV equation. Analytical solutions of the nonlinear periodic wave equation are obtained. These solutions show that the shape, wavelength and celerity of the nonlinear waves depend on the wave amplitude. The wave celerity is slightly smaller than the open water wave celerity. The wavelength decreases as the wave amplitude increases. Based on these solutions the fracture of the ice cover is analysed. The spacing between transverse cracks varies form 50 m to a few hundred metres with the corresponding wave amplitude varying from 0.2 to 0.8 m, depending on the thickness and strength of the cover. These results agree well with limited field observations.

Korteweg de Vries (KdV) equation has been used as a mathematical model of shallow water waves. In this paper, we present one-, two-, and three-soliton solution of KdV equation. By definition, soliton is a nonlinear wave that maintains its properties (shape and velocity) upon interaction with each other. In order to investigate the behavior of soliton solutions of KdV equation and the interaction process of the two- and three-solitons, computer programs have been successfully simulated. Results from these simulations confirm that the solutions of KdV equation obtained are the soliton solutions.

The problem formulations of models for three-dimensional weakly nonlinear shallow water waves regime in a stratified shear flow with a free surface are studied. Traveling wave solutions are generated by deriving the nonlinear higher order of nonlinear evaluation equations for the free surface displacement. We obtain the velocity potential and pressure fluid in the form of traveling wave solutions of the obtained nonlinear evaluation equation. The obtained solutions and the movement role of the waves of the exact solutions are new travelling wave solutions in different and explicit form such as solutions (bright and dark), solitary wave, periodic solitary wave elliptic function solutions of higher-order nonlinear evaluation equation.

The modified Kawahara equation also called Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation of fifth-order arises in shallow water wave and capillary gravity water waves. This study is based on the generalized Riccati equation mapping and modified the F-expansion methods. Several types of solitons such as Bright soliton, Dark-lump soliton, combined bright dark solitary waves, have been derived for the modified Kawahara equation. The obtained solutions have significant applications in applied physics and engineering. Moreover, stability of the problem is presented after being examined through linear stability analysis that justify that all solutions are stable. We also present some solution graphically in 3D and 2D that gives easy understanding about physical explanation of the modified Kawahara equation. The calculated work and achieved outcomes depict the power of the present methods. Furthermore, we can solve various other nonlinear problems with the help of simple and effective techniques.

Abstract We consider the integrable extended complex modified Korteweg–de Vries equation, which is generalized modified KdV equation. The first part of the article considers the construction of solutions via the Darboux transformation. We obtain some exact solutions, such as soliton solution, soliton molecules, positon solution, rational positon solution, rational solution, periodic solution and rogue waves solution. The second part of the article analyzes the dynamics of rogue waves. By means of the numerical analysis, under the standard decomposition, we divide the rogue waves into three patterns: fundamental patterns, triangular patterns and ring patterns. For the fundamental patterns, we define the length and width of the rogue waves and discuss the effect of different parameters on rogue waves.
