Notes:
This Brief Communication answers an unsettled question pointed out by Peters and Stoker [Commun. Pure Appl. Math 13, 115 (1960)] with regard to a critical case of a two-layer fluid flow with a free surface supported by a horizontal rigid bottom. In the critical case the coefficient of the nonlinear term in the Korteweg–deVries (KdV) equation vanishes and the KdV theory models only a parallel flow. By using higher-order asymptotic expansion, an extended and a modified KdV equation are derived and internal solitary waves and transition waves in the critical case are found. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.
