To develop a weakly nonlinear theoretical model that characterizes the spatiotemporal evolution and asymmetric behavior of surface waves driven by an underlying interfacial solitary wave in a two-layer fluid system.
Formulated a weakly nonlinear mathematical model describing surface and interfacial wave interactions within a stratified two-layer fluid.
Quantified surface wave evolution, spatial broadening, group velocity variations, and amplitude changes using ray-based theoretical frameworks and numerical simulations.
The model successfully captures the widening of large-amplitude internal solitary waves observed in natural ocean environments.
Surface waves display triple asymmetry across the internal wave, developing shorter wavelengths, higher amplitudes, and larger group velocities at the leading edge compared to the trailing edge.
