Lump–kink and hybrid solutions of the extended (3+1)-dimensional potential KP equation in fluid mechanics.

In this paper, the extended (3+1)-dimensional potential KP equation in fluid mechanics is studied through Hirota bilinear method. Many types of hybrid solutions, such as the lump–kink solution, lump-two kink solution and periodic lump solution are obtained by assuming different functions in the bilinear equation. The interaction solution between lump and triangular periodic wave is also derived by combining sine and cosine functions with quadratic functions. Dynamical structures of these exact solutions are depicted by presenting the corresponding three-dimensional, two-dimensional structures and density graphs. These diverse interaction solutions could be helpful for understanding physical phenomena in fluid mechanics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
