Finite-amplitude wave propagation in a stratified fluid of variable depth
Abstract
Variable-coefficient Korteweg - de Vries equation is applied to describe the interfacial wave transformation in two-layer fluid of variable depth. The soliton dynamics in this fluid is studied. The solitary wave breaks in two transient points. One of them is the point when two-layer fluid transforms to the on-layer flow. The second one is the point where layer thickness are equaled. The soliton amplitude dependence on the thickness of lower layer is found.
