The work presented here emanates from questions arising from experimental observations of the propagation of surface water waves. The experiments in question featured a periodically moving wavemaker located at one end of a flume that generated unidirectional waves of relatively small amplitude and long wavelength when compared with the undisturbed depth. It was observed that the wave profile at any point down the channel very quickly became periodic in time with the same period as that of the…

A non-homogeneous boundary-value problem for the Korteweg-de Vries equation in a quarter plane

The Korteweg-de Vries equation was first derived by Boussinesq and Korteweg and de Vries as a model for long-crested small-amplitude long waves propagating on the surface of water. The same partial

In this paper, we obtain new nonlinear systems describing the interaction of long water waves in both two and three dimensions. These systems are symmetric and conservative. Rigorous convergence

Forced Oscillations of a Damped Korteweg-de Vries Equation in a Quarter Plane

Laboratory experiments have shown that when nonlinear, dispersive waves are forced periodically from one end of an undisturbed stretch of the medium of propagation, the signal eventually becomes
