Open AccessConvective wave breaking in the KdV equation
The KdV equation is a model equation for waves at the surface of an inviscid incompressible fluid, and it is well known that the equation describes the evolution of unidirectional waves of small amplitude and ...

A dispersive model for undular bores
In this article, consideration is given to weak bores in free-surface flows. The energy loss in the shallow-water theory for an undular bore is thought to be due to upstream oscillations that carry away the en...

The Stability of Solitary Waves of Depression
We provide a sufficient condition for the orbital stability of negative solitary-wave solutions of the regularized long-wave equation. In particular, it is found that solitary waves with speed
