Numerical solution of internal-wave systems in the intermediate long wave and the Benjamin-Ono regimes (2104.09834v1)

Abstract: The paper is concerned with the numerical approximation of the Intermediate Long Wave and Benjamin-Ono systems, that serve as models for the propagation of interfacial internal waves in a two-layer fluid system in particular physical regimes. The paper focuses on two issues of approximation. First, the spectral Fourier-Galerkin method is used to discretize in space the corresponding periodic initial-value problems, and the error of the semidiscretizations is analyzed. The second issue concerns the numerical generation of solitary-wave solutions of the systems. We use acceleration techniques to improve the computation of the approximate solitary waves and check their performance with numerical examples.
