A third-order KdV solution for internal solitary waves and its application in the numerical wave tank

A third-order KdV solution to the internal solitary wave is derived by a new method based on the weakly nonlinear assumptions in a rigid-lid two-layer system. The solution corrects an error by Mirie and Su (1984). A two-dimensional numerical wave tank has been established with the help of the open s...
