Finite Element Method for Stochastic Extended KdV Equations

Abstract

The finite element method is applied to obtain numerical solutions to the recently derived nonlinear equation for shallow water wave problem for several cases of bottom shapes. Results for time evolution of KdV solitons and cnoidal waves under stochastic forces are presented. Though small effects originating from second order dynamics may be obscured by stochastic forces, the main waves, both cnoidal and solitary ones, remain very robust against any distortions.
