Abstract
Non-linear and solitary surface waves represent one of the most intriguing and thoroughly investigated phenomena in ocean dynamics. Up to now, a considerable number of results have been obtained, which are related to the study of solitary waves in the coastal shelf zone, and their propagation and transformation under the effect of various factors. In the majority of such studies, the sea bottom surface was assumed to be impervious to fluid. Only some of them, e.g. refs 1–4, considered the propagation of waves in the limited layers of fluids on the pervious (porous) bases. At the same time, Shepard [5] and Nikolaevsky [6] pointed out that the bottom surface structure on the shelf is often porous. In this case, the pervious layer represents a porous matrix (possibly deformable) completely filled with fluid. Its density is different from the free fluid density.
