Recently, the Whitham and capillary Whitham equations were shown to accurately modelthe evolution of surface waves on shallow water. In order to gain a deeper understanding of theseequations, we compute periodic, traveling-wave solutions for both and study their stability. Wepresent plots of a representative sampling of solutions for a range of wavelengths, wave speeds, waveheights, and surface tension values. Finally, we discuss the role these parameters play in the stabilityof these solutions.

We investigate periodic traveling-wave solutions to the Whitham equation. It is shown that for solutions of this type, the Whitham equation can be expressed as a nonlinear integral equation of Hammerstein form. Solutions to this integral equation are then obtained by iteration. Representative numerical results are presented to illustrate the waveshapes and the nonlinear dispersion characteristics of the solutions thus obtained.

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to present an extension of the results in [8]. We establish a more general proof for the moving kernel formula to prove the spectral stability of periodic traveling wave solutions for the regularized Benjamin–Bona–Mahony type equations. As applications of our analysis, we show the spectral instability for the quintic Benjamin–Bona–Mahony equation and the spectral (orbital) stability for the regularized Benjamin–Ono equation.

We discuss the existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependence on data, of anti-periodic traveling wave solutions to higher order two-dimensional equations of Korteweg-deVries type.

The homotopy analysis method (HAM) is applied to obtain the approximate traveling wave solutions of the coupled Whitham-Broer-Kaup (WBK) equations in shallow water. Comparisons are made between the results of the proposed method and exact solutions. The results show that the homotopy analysis method is an attractive method in solving the systems of nonlinear partial differential equations.

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.

This paper is concerned with periodic traveling wave solutions of the forced generalized nearly concentric Korteweg-de Vries equation in the form of(uη+u/(2η)+[f(u)]ξ+uξξξ)ξ+uθθ/η2=h0. The authors first convert this equation into a forced generalized Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation,(ut+[f(u)]x+uxxx)x+uyy=h0, and then to a nonlinear ordinary differential equation with periodic boundary conditions. An equivalent relationship between the ordinary differential equation and nonlinear integral equations with symmetric kernels is established by using the Green's function method. The integral representations generate compact operators in a Banach space of real-valued continuous functions. The Schauder's fixed point theorem is then used to prove the existence of nonconstant solutions to the integral equations. Therefore, the existence of periodic traveling wave solutions to the forced generalized KP equation, and hence the nearly concentric KdV equation, is proved.
