Abstract
The note addresses a qualitative difference between shallow (vertically confined) and deep (vertically non-confined) fluid geometries for stationary internal solitary waves. It is shown that in a deep fluid, the propagation velocity of large amplitude wave (with a vortex inside) is greater than the velocity predicted by small but finite amplitude theory, known as the Benjamin-Ono model. This effect has been found both asymptotically and experimentally. For the case of a shallow fluid, the situation is qualitatively different. The speed of a wave with vortex inside is smaller than that predicted by the Korteweg-de Vries theory. The reported observation could distinguish wave motions in shallow (confined) and deep (non-confined) geometries and seems to be important in a variety of applications.
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.
