Abstract
The Korteweg–de Vries equation is shown to govern formation of solitary and cnoidal waves in rotating fluids confined in tubes. It is proved that the method must fail when the tube wall is moved to infinity, and the failure is corrected by singular perturbation procedures. The Korteweg–de Vries equation must then give way to an integro-differential equation. Also, critical stationary flows in tubes are considered with regard to Benjamin's vortex breakdown theories.
