The evolution equation of non-linear waves and its exact solutions by subsidiary ordinary differential equation method

Abstract

In this work, we investigate the dynamics of the equatorial Rossby waves by including the complete Coriolis force, external source and dissipation. The amplitude evolution of equatorial Rossby waves is described as an extended non-linear mKdV–Burgers equation from a potential vorticity equation and it is unlike the standard mKdV–Burgers equation. Built on the obtained model, the corresponding physical phenomena related to the non-linear Rossby waves are analyzed. Also, the subsidiary ordinary differential equation method is employed to solve the solitary solution of the mKdV equation. By analyzing the solution, we find that the horizontal component of Coriolis parameter works on the amplitude of the Rossby waves. Meanwhile, we use the Adomian decomposition method to obtain the approximate soliton solution of the model.
