Abstract
In this study, we systematically review various ripplon solutions to the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation with positive dispersion (KP1 equation). We show that there are mappings that allow one to transform the horseshoe solitons and curved lump chains of the KP1 equation into circular solitons of the cylindrical Korteweg–de Vries (cKdV) equation and two-dimensional solitons of the cylindrical Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (cKP) equation. Then, we present analytical solutions that describe new nonlinear highly localized ripplons of a horseshoe shape. Ripplons are two-dimensional waves with an oscillatory structure in space and a decaying character in time; they are similar to lumps but non-stationary. In the limiting case, the horseshoe ripplons reduce to solitons decaying with time and having bent fronts. Such entities can play an important role in the description of strong turbulence in plasma and other media.
期刊介绍:
Wave Motion is devoted to the cross fertilization of ideas, and to stimulating interaction between workers in various research areas in which wave propagation phenomena play a dominant role. The description and analysis of wave propagation phenomena provides a unifying thread connecting diverse areas of engineering and the physical sciences such as acoustics, optics, geophysics, seismology, electromagnetic theory, solid and fluid mechanics.
The journal publishes papers on analytical, numerical and experimental methods. Papers that address fundamentally new topics in wave phenomena or develop wave propagation methods for solving direct and inverse problems are of interest to the journal.
