Simulations and observation of nonlinear internal waves on the continental shelf: Korteweg–de Vries and extended Korteweg–de Vries solutions
Numerical solutions of the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) and extended Korteweg–de Vries (eKdV) equations are used to model the transformation of a sinusoidal internal tide as it propagates across the continental shelf.The ocean is idealized as being a two-layer fluid, justified by the fact that most of the oceanic internal wave signal is cont
