The strongly nonlinear long-wave model for large amplitude internal waves in a two-layer system is regularized to eliminate shear instability due to the wave-induced velocity jump across the interface. The model is written in terms of the horizontal velocities evaluated at the top and bottom boundaries instead of the depth-averaged velocities, and it is shown through local stability analysis that internal solitary waves are locally stable to perturbations of arbitrary wavelengths if the wave amplitudes are smaller than a critical value. For a wide range of depth and density ratios pertinent to oceanic conditions, the critical wave amplitude is close to the maximum wave amplitude and the regularized model is therefore expected to be applicable to the strongly nonlinear regime. The regularized model is solved numerically using a finite-difference method and its numerical solutions support the results of our linear stability analysis. It is also shown that the solitary wave solution of the regularized model, found numerically using a time-dependent numerical model, is close to the solitary wave solution of the original model, confirming that the two models are asymptotically equivalent.

In this paper, the existence of solitary waves and periodic waves to a perturbed generalized KdV equation is established by applying the geometric singular perturbation theory and the regular perturbation analysis for a Hamiltonian system. Moreover, upper and lower bounds of the limit wave speed are obtained. Some previous results are extended.

AbstractWe prove the existence of weak solutions of variational inequalities for general quasilinear parabolic operators of order m = 2 with strongly nonlinear perturbation term. The result is based on a priori bound for the time derivatives of the solutions.
