Shallow water cnoidal wave interactions

The nonlinear dynamics of cnoidal waves, within the context of the general N-cnoidal wave solutions of the periodic Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) and Kadomtsev-Petvishvilli (KP) equations, are considered. These equations are important for describing the propagation of small-but-finite amplitude waves in s...
