Abstract

A two-layer fluid system separated by a pycnocline in the form of an internal wave is considered. The lower layer is bounded below by a flat bottom and the upper layer is bounded above by a flat surface. The fluids are incompressible and inviscid and Coriolis forces as well as currents are taken into consideration. A Hamiltonian formulation is presented and appropriate scaling leads to a KdV approximation. Additionally, considering the lower layer to be infinitely deep leads to a Benjamin–Ono approximation.
