Numerical stability of symmetric solitary-wave-like waves of a two-layer fluid—Forced modified KdV equation

摘要

Forced internal waves at the interface of a two-layer incompressible fluid in a two-dimensional domain with rigid horizontal boundaries are studied. The lower boundary is assumed to have a small obstruction. We derive a time-dependent forced modified KdV equation when the KdV theory fails and study the stabilities of four types of symmetric time-independent solitary-wave-like solutions numerically.
