Description 1458-1464
Transformation of single solitary wave passing over a semi-infinite shelf
is investigated in this study. Considering the energy loss near the corner of
the step, a semi-analytical solution to both the transmission and reflection
coefficients is derived. Since the solitary wave will decompose to several
solitons in the far field, the amplitudes of separated solitons are discussed
as well. The results are very identical to those shown in previous studies.
Furthermore, the appearance oscillatory tails appearing after split solitons
are investigated by using the bilinear transformation method. Present
calculations are very consistent with numerical and experimental results given
by existing studies.
