Abstract: A
mathematical model for unidirectional propagation of long water waves on a
viscous
liquid
is proposed. This model is the natural extension of the pioneering work by
Benjamin
et
al. [1]. The model considered here relates to the initial-value problem for the
equation
where
is nondimensional
kinematic viscosity of the liquid, whose solution
is
considered
in a class of real nonperiodic functions defined for
This
equation is an approximation derived for moderately long waves of small but
finite
amplitude
on a viscous liquid, which has the same formal justification as the Korteweg–de
Vries
equation
when
the effect of liquid viscosity is taken into account. The emphasis of this paper
is on
rigorous
mathematics which is used to prove the existence of the solution, and following
the main result several extensions and sidelights
are presented. |
Keywords and phrases: KdV equation, BBM equation, water waves, nonlinear hyperbolic partial differential equation. |
