ABSTRACT:
A nonlinear
transformation of the Whitham-Broer-Kaup (WBK) model equations in the shallow
water small-amplitude regime is derived by using a simplified homogeneous
balance method. The WBK model equations are linearized under the nonlinear
transformation. Various exact solutions of the WBK model equations are obtained
via the nonlinear transformation with the aid of solutions for the linear equation.
