Strongly nonlinear effects on internal solitary waves in three-layer flows
We consider a strongly nonlinear long wave model for large amplitude internal waves in a three-layer ow between two rigid boundaries. The model extends the two-layer Miyata-Choi-Camassa (MCC) model (Miyata 1988; Choi &...

Geospatial distributions reflect temperatures of linguistic features.
Quantifying the speed of linguistic change is challenging because the historical evolution of languages is sparsely documented. Consequently, traditional methods rely on phylogenetic reconstruction. Here, we propose a...
Large mode-2 internal solitary waves in three-layer flows
In this paper, we investigate mode-2 solitary waves in a three-layer stratified flow model. Localised travelling wave solutions to both the fully nonlinear problem (Euler equations), and the three-layer Miyata–Choi–Camassa...
