Patterns On Liquid Surfaces: Cnoidal Waves, Compactons And Scaling, Andrei Ludu

Andrei Ludu

Localized patterns and nonlinear oscillation formation on the bounded free surface of an ideal incompressible liquid are analytically investigated. Cnoidal modes, solitons and compactons, as traveling non-axially symmetric shapes are discussed. A finite-difference differential generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation is shown to describe the three-dimensional motion of the fluid surface and the limit of long and shallow channels one re-obtains the well-known KdV equation. A tentative expansion formula for the representation of the general solution of a nonlinear equation, for given initial condition is introduced on a graphical-algebraic basis. The model is useful in multilayer fluid dynamics, cluster formation, and nuclear …
