The Transformation of a Solitary Wave over an Uneven Bottom,
Abstract
Based on a set of approximate equations for long waves over an uneven bottom, the transformation of a solitary wave climbing a slope is studied numerically and compared with available experiments. Results are also obtained for a solitary wave progressing over a slope onto a shelf. The development of a train of solitary waves on the shelf is found and interpreted physically. Supporting experimental evidence is also given. (Author)
