Soliton interactions of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation and generation of large-amplitude water waves

We study the maximum wave amplitude produced by line-soliton interactions of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili II (KPII) equation, and we discuss a mechanism of generation of large amplitude shallow water waves by multi-soliton interactions of KPII. We also describe a method to predict the possible maximum wave amplitude from asymptotic data. Finally, we report on numerical simulations of multi-soliton complexes of the KPII equation which verify the robustness of all types of soliton interactions and web-like structure.

Soliton Solutions of the KP Equation with V-Shape Initial Waves

We consider the initial value problems of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equation for symmetric V-shape initial waves consisting of two semi-infinite line solitons with the same amplitude. Numerical simulations show that the solutions of the initial value problem approach asymptotically to certain exact solutions of the KP equation found recently in [Chakravarty and Kodama, JPA, 41 (2008) 275209]. We then use a chord diagram to explain the asymptotic result. We also demonstrate a real experiment of shallow water wave which may represent the solution discussed in this Letter.

A possible mechanism of generation of extreme waves in shallow water

We consider a mechanism of generation of huge waves by multi-soliton resonant interactions. A non-stationary wave amplification phenomenon is found in some exact solutions of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equation. The mechanism proposed here explains the character of extreme waves and of those in Tsunami.
