Nonlinear internal waves in the ocean are discussed (a) from the standpoint of soliton theory
and (b) from the viewpoint of experimental measurements. First, theoretical models for …

Internal solitary waves transform as they propagate shoreward over the continental shelf into
the coastal zone, from a combination of the horizontal variability of the oceanic hydrology …

The well-known Garrett and Munk description of the internal wave spectrum synthesizes
many observations into a spectral model that reproduces the general features of the mid …

It is essential to distinguish the applicable range of theories of internal solitary waves (ISWs).
Numerous numerical simulations and theoretical calculations with wide ranging thickness …

Several threads of the last 25 years' developments in nonlinear wave theory that stem from
the classical Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation are surveyed. The focus is on various …

Nonlinear wave motion is studied in a symmetric, continuously stratified, smoothed three-
layer fluid in the framework of the fully nonlinear Euler equations under the Boussinesq …

We investigated theoretically and experimentally internal solitary waves (ISWs) in a two-
layer fluid system with a top free surface. Laboratory experiments are performed by lock …

Dam-break and lock-exchange flows are considered in a Boussinesq two-layer fluid system
in a uniform two-dimensional channel. The focus is on inviscid 'weak'dam breaks or lock …

In this chapter we review various approximate models (from weakly to strongly nonlinear)
describing internal solitary waves in the density-stratified fluids. The waves may have …

In this paper, the Bell-polynomial approach is extended to the seventh-order Sawada–
Kotera–Ito equation which is regarded as a higher-order integrable one in the Korteweg-de …
