| Popis: | A new formalism for the derivation of the cnoidal wave solution is presented by introducing a new set of initial conditions and a subacoustic moving frame. The resulting set of solutions is also constructed in a way that ensures the conservation of number density. The solutions are illustrated in a variety of graphical representations, and the effect of the amplitude's magnitude on the cnoidal wave form is presented. Interestingly, it is shown that the wavelength of the solutions decreases with amplitude. In addition, it is shown that the small-amplitude cnoidal wave solutions converge to linear waves in the small-amplitude limit. |
