摘要

This chapter treats nonlinear wave-current interactions in their simplest form—as an overtaking collision. In one spatial dimension, the chapter investigates the collision interaction formulated as an initial value problem of a Burgers bore overtaking solutions of two types of nonlinear wave equations—Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) and nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS). The bore-wave state arising after the overtaking Burgers-KdV collision in numerical simulations is found to depend qualitatively on the balance between nonlinearity and dispersion in the KdV equation. The Burgers-KdV system is also made stochastic by following the stochastic advection by Lie transport approach (SALT).
