It is based on the conformal mapping technique combined with an efficient Fourier pseudo-spectral method. The resulting nonlinear equation is solved via the Petviashvili iterative scheme. The computational results are compared to some existing approaches, such as the Tanaka method and Fenton's high-order asymptotic expansion. Several important integral quantities are numerically computed for a large range of amplitudes. The integral representation of the velocity and acceleration fields in the bulk of the fluid is also provided.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-05-23T06:40:37.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "steady solitary gravity waves", "efficient computation", "free surface euler equations", "efficient fourier pseudo-spectral method", "fentons high-order asymptotic expansion" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 21, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1302.1812D" } } }
