Interaction tetween two waves soliton

AI Thread Summary
To analyze the interaction between two soliton waves described by y=A sech²(k(x ± ct)), one can consider their superposition, expressed as y=A sech²(k(x + ct)) + B sech²(k(x - ct)). This superposition represents the combined effect of both waves, but it is essential to clarify the nature of their interaction. For simple displacement, the interaction can be modeled by y=A sech²(k(x + ct)) + A sech²(k(x - ct)), focusing on the envelope of the solitons. The discussion hints at exploring nonlinear superposition effects in this context. Understanding these interactions is crucial for studying wave dynamics in nonlinear systems.

Hello if i have two waves soliton y=A \sech^2 (k(x \pm ct)), both solution of KdV differential equation

how i find a equation for the interaction between the right and left waves \pm c

i think on supperposition waves, y=A \sech^2 (k(x + ct))+B \sech^2 (k(x - ct)), but i don't understand if the superposition represent to the interaction between both waves.

Hang on - let me tidy thatup for you...

Great - now, what sort of interaction did you have in mind?
For simple displacement - i.e. these are water waves - then the two waves would produce the superposition ##y=A \sech^2 (k(x + ct))+A \sech^2 (k(x - ct))##. But I suspect these equations are for the envelope for the soliton.

Perhaps you are doing an exercize in nonlinear superposition?

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'
I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...
I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
