6What is soliton?
- A soliton is a localized wave solution of a
nonlinear PDE which is remarkably stable - One PDE that has such a solution is the
Korteweg-deVries (KdV) equation -
7Solitary Wave one soliton
8Properties one soliton
- Behaves like a particle
- Travels with constant shape and velocity
- Animation
9Solitary Wave 2 solitons
- When two solitary waves get closer, they
gradually deform - Finally merge into a single wave packet
- This packet soon splits into two solitary waves
with the same shape and velocity before
"collision".

speeds and shapes

15Who discovered soliton?
- John Scott Russell (1808-1882)
16John Scott Russel
- In 1834, while conducting experiments to
determine the most efficient design for canal
boats, John Scott Russell made a remarkable
scientific discovery. As he described it in his
"Report on Waves" (Report of the fourteenth
meeting of the British Association for the
Advancement of Science, York, September 1844
(London 1845), pp 311-390, Plates XLVII-LVII).
17Russells report
- I was observing the motion of a boat which was
rapidly drawn along a narrow channel by a pair of
horses, when the boat suddenly stopped - not so
the mass of water in the channel which it had put
in motion it accumulated round the prow of the
vessel in a state of violent agitation, then
suddenly leaving it behind, rolled forward with
great velocity, assuming the form of a large
solitary elevation, a rounded, smooth and
well-defined heap of water, which continued its
course along the channel apparently without
change of form or diminution of speed.
18Russells report
- I followed it on horseback, and overtook it
still rolling on at a rate of some eight or nine
miles an hour, preserving its original figure
some thirty feet long and a foot to a foot and a
half in height. Its height gradually diminished,
and after a chase of one or two miles I lost it
in the windings of the channel. Such, in the
month of August 1834, was my first chance
interview with that singular and beautiful
phenomenon which I have called the Wave of
Translation.

26KdV solitary wave solution
- Korteweb and de Vries (1895) discovered the
equation possesses the solitary wave solution - KdV equation
- Traveling wave solution
27What is convection?
- "Convection" has several, related meanings in
weather....but it always involves rising air. It
usually refers to "moist convection", where the
excess water vapor in rising air parcels
condenses to form a cloud.
28The heat released through this condensation can
help to sustain the convection by warming the air
further and making it rise still higher, which
causes more water vapor to condense, so the
process feeds on itself.
29But convection can also be dry, as occurs on a
sunny day over the desert, or in more humid
regions early in the day before the convection
has become strong enough to form clouds. The sun
warms the ground, and convective air currents
help to remove the excess heat from the surface.
Dry convection also occurs during the day even
when clouds are not forming...you just can't see
it.
30Scattering Scattering is a general physical
process where some forms of radiation, such as
light, sound, or moving particles, are forced to
deviate from a straight trajectory by one or more
localized non-uniformities in the medium through
which they pass

dispersion

33The numerical method has been applied to flnd new
solitons, for example, recently Han and Xu used
the numerical approach to flnd new soliton
solutions for the generalized KdV equations it
appears that these solitons do not possess the
\closed-form" representations...
