Abstract
In this paper, we present the Euler equation of steady periodic equatorial water waves in two-layer flows with different densities and generalise the two Stokes’ definitions for the velocity of the wave propagation. We further demonstrate that the excess potential energy density of nonlinear equatorial two-layer waves is always positive, while the excess kinetic energy density is negative.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of Applied Mathematics Letters is to provide a means of rapid publication for important but brief applied mathematical papers. The brief descriptions of any work involving a novel application or utilization of mathematics, or a development in the methodology of applied mathematics is a potential contribution for this journal. This journal''s focus is on applied mathematics topics based on differential equations and linear algebra. Priority will be given to submissions that are likely to appeal to a wide audience.
