Cnoidal Wave Trains and Solitary Waves in a Dissipation-Modified Korteweg—de Vries Equation

  • Chapter
KdV ’95

Abstract

A generalization of the Korteweg—de Vries equation incorporating an energy input-output balance, hence a dissipation-modified KdV equation is considered. The equation is relevant to describe, for instance, nonlinear Marangoni—Bénard oscillatory instability in a liquid layer heated from above. Cnoidal waves and solitary waves of this equation are obtained both asymptotically and numerically.
