Abstract

Experimental and theoretical results are presented for binary collisions between co-propagating and counter-propagating solitary waves. The experiments provide high-resolution measurements of water surface profiles at fixed times, thereby enabling direct comparisons with predictions by a variety of mathematical models. These models include the 2-soliton solution of the Korteweg-deVries equation, numerical solutions of the Euler equations, and linear superposition of KdV solitons.
