Water Surface Displacement (cm) vs. space (cm)

Dots: Data

Curves: Sum of two KdV solitons (fit in first frame)

Note different vertical scale

• Surface Displacement - 1mar04
• FOLLOWING COLLISION: 25-mar04
• Surface Displacement - 17 jun 03
• Input Parameters
• Times for collision 1


Decay of a soliton in space

The wave reflects three times.

Dots: Data

Solid curve: exponential fit: a(x) = a_0 * Exp(-0.047 x) (a in cm; x in m)

Dashed curve: fit of (1/(A+b*x))
