Two types of interaction phenomena of the lump wave for nonlinear model of Rossby waves

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, we show the interaction phenomena about the first-order lump wave and multiple solitons by four theorems. The interaction phenomena are divided into two types, one type is absorbing collision phenomenon and the other type is elastic collision phenomenon. Six sets of dynamic plots over time are showed the phenomenon of absorbing interactions with energy transfer process, the phenomenon of elastic interactions with restoration of the initial state after collision. We apply the four theorems to an equation which can characterize the Rossby waves’ amplitude, this equation can be used to describe the resonance phenomenon of Rossby waves. Different test functions with the same parameter values can present different wave-wave interaction properties. This study contributes to in-depth investigation of the mechanism of lump wave generation, evolution and interaction.
