Abstract

Spatially periodic solutions of the Fornberg-Whitham equation are studied to illustrate the mechanism of wave breaking and the formation of shocks for a large class of initial data. We show that these solutions can be considered to be weak solutions satisfying the entropy condition. By numerical experiments, we show that the breaking waves become shock-wave type in the time evolution.
