Construction and numerical simulation of a two-dimensional analogue to the KdV equation

Creator:

Black, Wendy

Abstract:

Arising from an investigation in Hydrodynamics, the Korteweg-de Vries equation demonstrates existence of nonlinear waves that resume their profile after interaction. In this thesis, the classical equations governing wave motion are the starting point for the development of an analogue of the KdV that describes the evolution of a wave...
