Introduction

We will find a solution of the KdV equation for Shallow water waves,

[math]\displaystyle{ 2H_{0,\tau}+3H_0H_{0,z}+\frac{1}{3}H_{0,zzz}=0 }[/math]


The KdV equation has two qualitatively different types of permanent form travelling wave solution.

These are referred to as cnoidal waves and solitary waves.

KdV equation in [math]\displaystyle{ (z,\tau) }[/math] space

Assume we have wave travelling with speed [math]\displaystyle{ V_0 }[/math] without change of form,

[math]\displaystyle{ H(z,\tau)=H(z-V_0\tau) }[/math]

and substitute into KdV equation then we obtain

[math]\displaystyle{ -2V_oH_\xi+3HH_\xi+\frac{1}{3}H_{\xi\xi\xi}=0 }[/math]

where [math]\displaystyle{ \xi=z-V_0\tau }[/math] is the travelling wave coordinate.


We rearrange and integrate this equation with respect to [math]\displaystyle{ \xi }[/math] to give

[math]\displaystyle{ \frac{1}{3} \int H_{\xi\xi\xi} d\xi = \int 2V_0 H_{\xi} d\xi - 3\int H H_\xi d\xi }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ \Longrightarrow \frac{1}{3}H_{\xi\xi} = 2V_oH - \frac{3}{2}H^2 +D_1 }[/math]

then multiply [math]\displaystyle{ H_\xi }[/math] to all terms and integrate again


[math]\displaystyle{ \Longrightarrow \frac{1}{3}H_{\xi\xi} H_\xi = 2V_0HH_\xi - \frac{3H^2}{2}H_\xi + D_1H_\xi }[/math]


[math]\displaystyle{ \Longrightarrow \frac{1}{3} \int H_{\xi\xi}H_\xi d\xi = 2V_o \int H H_\xi d\xi - \frac{3}{2} \int H^2H\xi d\xi + \int D_1 H_\xi d\xi }[/math]


[math]\displaystyle{ \Longrightarrow \frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{2}H_\xi^2 = 2V_0 \frac{H^2}{2}-\frac{H^3}{2} +D_1H + D_2 }[/math]


[math]\displaystyle{ \Longrightarrow \frac{1}{6}H_\xi^2=V_oH^2-\frac{1}{2}H^3+D_1H+D_2=f(H,V_0,D_1,D_2) }[/math]

where [math]\displaystyle{ D_1 }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ D_2 }[/math] are constants of integration.

Standardization of KdV equation

We define [math]\displaystyle{ f(H)= V_oH^2-\frac{1}{2}H^3+D_1H+D2 }[/math], so [math]\displaystyle{ f(H)=\frac{1}{6}H_\xi^2 }[/math]

It turns out that we require 3 real roots to obtain periodic solutions. Let roots be [math]\displaystyle{ H_1 \leq H_2 \leq H_3 }[/math].


We can imagine the graph of cubic function which has 3 real roots and we can now write a function

[math]\displaystyle{ f(H)= \frac{-1}{2}(H-H_1)(H-H_2)(H-H_3) }[/math]


From the equation [math]\displaystyle{ f(H)=\frac{1}{6}H_\xi^2 }[/math], we require [math]\displaystyle{ f(H)\gt 0 }[/math]

We are only interested in solution for [math]\displaystyle{ H_2 \lt H \lt H_3 }[/math] and we need [math]\displaystyle{ H_2 \lt H_3 }[/math].

and now solve equation in terms of the roots [math]\displaystyle{ H_i, }[/math]

We define [math]\displaystyle{ X=\frac{H}{H_3} }[/math], and obtain

[math]\displaystyle{ X_\xi^2=3H_3(X-X_1)(X-X_2)(1-X) }[/math]

where [math]\displaystyle{ X_i=\frac{H_i}{H} }[/math]

crest to be at [math]\displaystyle{ \xi=0 }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ X(0)=0 }[/math]

and a further variable Y via

[math]\displaystyle{ X = 1 +(X_2-1) \sin^2 (Y) }[/math]


[math]\displaystyle{ Y_\xi^2=\frac{3}{4}H_3(1-X_1)\left\{ 1-\frac{(1-X_2)}{(1-X_1)}\sin(Y)^2 \right\} ...(1) }[/math]

so [math]\displaystyle{ Y(0)=0. }[/math]

and

[math]\displaystyle{ \frac{dY}{d\xi}=\sqrt{l(1-k^2\sin^2(Y))}, }[/math]

which is separable.



In order to get this into a completely standard form we define

[math]\displaystyle{ k^2=\frac{1-X_2}{1-X_1}, l=\frac{3}{4}H_3(1-X_1) ...(2) }[/math]

Clearly, [math]\displaystyle{ 0 \leq k^2 \leq 1 }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ l\gt 0. }[/math]

Solution of the KdV equation

We define [math]\displaystyle{ f(H)= V_oH^2-\frac{1}{2}H^3+D_1H+D2 }[/math], so [math]\displaystyle{ f(H)=\frac{1}{6}H_\xi^2 }[/math]

It turns out that we require 3 real roots to obtain periodic solutions. Let roots be [math]\displaystyle{ H_1 \leq H_2 \leq H_3 }[/math].


We can imagine the graph of cubic function which has 3 real roots and we can now write a function

[math]\displaystyle{ f(H)= \frac{-1}{2}(H-H_1)(H-H_2)(H-H_3) }[/math]


From the equation [math]\displaystyle{ f(H)=\frac{1}{6}H_\xi^2 }[/math], we require [math]\displaystyle{ f(H)\gt 0 }[/math]

We are only interested in solution for [math]\displaystyle{ H_2 \lt H \lt H_3 }[/math] and we need [math]\displaystyle{ H_2 \lt H_3 }[/math].

and now solve equation in terms of the roots [math]\displaystyle{ H_i, }[/math]

We define [math]\displaystyle{ X=\frac{H}{H_3} }[/math], and obtain

[math]\displaystyle{ X_\xi^2=3H_3(X-X_1)(X-X_2)(1-X) }[/math]

where [math]\displaystyle{ X_i=\frac{H_i}{H} }[/math]

crest to be at [math]\displaystyle{ \xi=0 }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ X(0)=0 }[/math]

and a further variable Y via

[math]\displaystyle{ X = 1 +(X_2-1) \sin^2 (Y) }[/math]


[math]\displaystyle{ Y_\xi^2=\frac{3}{4}H_3(1-X_1)\left\{ 1-\frac{(1-X_2)}{(1-X_1)}\sin(Y)^2 \right\} ...(1) }[/math]

so [math]\displaystyle{ Y(0)=0. }[/math]

and

[math]\displaystyle{ \frac{dY}{d\xi}=\sqrt{l(1-k^2\sin^2(Y))}, }[/math]

which is separable.



In order to get this into a completely standard form we define

[math]\displaystyle{ k^2=\frac{1-X_2}{1-X_1}, l=\frac{3}{4}H_3(1-X_1) ...(2) }[/math]

Clearly, [math]\displaystyle{ 0 \leq k^2 \leq 1 }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ l\gt 0. }[/math]
