Modeling Rogue Waves with the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili Equation
-
- Author / Creator
- Wanye, Randy Kanyiri
-
In this thesis, we will study singular solutions of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation
(ut+6uux+uxxx)x+3α^2 u_yy=0, α^2=±1
that will help improve our understanding and if possible give indicators to the occurrence of rogue waves. We will only study the nonlinear interaction of two such solutions. -
