In this paper, Painleve analysis is used to test the Painleve integrability of a forced variable-coefficient extended Korteveg-de Vries equation which can describe the weakly-non-linear long internal solitary waves in the fluid with continuous stratification on density. The obtained results show that the equation is integrable under certain conditions. By virtue of the truncated Painleve expansion, a pair of new exact solutions to the equation is obtained.

Abstract 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 (density and current stratification) and the variable depth. If this background environment varies sufficiently slowly in comparison with an individual solitary wave, then that wave possesses a soliton-like form with varying amplitude and phase. This stage is studied in detail in the framework of the variable-coefficient extended Korteweg–de Vries equation where the variation of the solitary wave parameters can be described analytically through an asymptotic description as a slowly varying solitary wave. Direct numerical simulation of the variable-coefficient extended Korteweg–de Vries equation is performed for several oceanic shelves (North West shelf of Australia, Malin shelf edge, and Arctic shelf) to demonstrate the applicability of the asymptotic theory. It is shown that the solitary wave may maintain its soliton-like form for large distances (up to 100 km), and this fact helps to explain why internal solitons are widely observed in the world's oceans. In some cases the background stratification contains critical points (where the coefficients of the nonlinear terms in the extended Korteweg–de Vries equation change sign), or does not vary sufficiently slowly; in such cases the solitary wave deforms into a group of secondary waves. This stage is studied numerically.

Investigation is given to a forced generalized variable-coefficient Korteweg–de Vries equation for the atmospheric blocking phenomenon. Applying the double-logarithmic and rational transformations, respectively, under certain variable-coefficient constraints, we get two different types of bilinear forms: (a) Based on the first type, the bilinear Bäcklund transformation (BT) is derived, the [Formula: see text]-soliton solutions in the Wronskian form are constructed, and the [Formula: see text]- and [Formula: see text]-soliton solutions are proved to satisfy the bilinear BT; (b) Based on the second type, via the Hirota method, the one- and two-soliton solutions are obtained. Those two types of solutions are different. Graphic analysis on the two types shows that the soliton velocity depends on [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], the soliton amplitude is merely related to [Formula: see text], and the background depends on [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are the dissipative, dispersive, nonuniform and line-damping coefficients, respectively, and [Formula: see text] is the external-force term. We present some types of interactions between the two solitons, including the head-on and overtaking interactions, interactions between the velocity- and amplitude-unvarying two solitons, between the velocity-varying while amplitude-unvarying two solitons and between the velocity- and amplitude-varying two solitons, as well as the interactions occurring on the constant and varying backgrounds.

Abstract. We consider solitary waves propagating on the interface between two fluids, each of constant density, for the case when the upper fluid is bounded above by a rigid horizontal plane, but the lower fluid has a variable depth. It is well-known that in this situation, the solitary waves can be described by a variable-coefficient Korteweg-de Vries equation. Here we reconsider the derivation of this equation and present a formulation which preserves the Hamiltonian structure of the underlying system. The result is a new variable-coefficient Korteweg-de Vries equation, which conserves energy to a higher order than the more conventional well-known equation. The new equation is used to describe the transformation of an interfacial solitary wave which propagates into a region of decreasing depth.

Abstract. A higher-order extension of the familiar Korteweg-de Vries equation is derived for internal solitary waves in a density- and current-stratified shear flow with a free surface. All coefficients of this extended Korteweg-de Vries equation are expressed in terms of integrals of the modal function for the linear long-wave theory. An illustrative example of a two-layer shear flow is considered, for which we discuss the parameter dependence of the coefficients in the extended Korteweg-de Vries equation.

The slowly varying solitary wave is constructed as an asymptotic solution of the variable coefficient Korteweg-de Vries equation. A multiple scale method is used to determine the amplitude and phase of the wave to the second order in the perturbation parameter. The structure ahead and behind the solitary wave is also determined, and the results are interpreted by using conservation laws. Outer expansions are introduced to remove non-uniformities in the expansion. Finally, when the coefficients satisfy a certain constraint, an exact solution is constructed.

AbstractThis paper presents some new exact solutions which contain soliton solutions, breather solutions and two types of rational solutions for the variable-coefficient-modified Korteweg–de Vries equation, with the help of the multivariate transformation technique. Furthermore, based on these new soliton solutions, breather solutions and rational solutions, we discuss their non-linear dynamics properties. We also show the graphic illustrations of these solutions which can help us better understand the evolution of solution waves.
