Abstract

This study investigates the evolution of dispersive shock wave (DSW) solutions within the focusing and defocusing cylindrical modified Korteweg-de Vries (cmKdV(f)) and (cmKdV(d)) equations under Riemann-type initial conditions. Using Whitham modulation theory, we derive and numerically solve the Whitham systems, enabling a comparison between these asymptotic solutions and direct numerical simulations of the cmKdV equations. The results provide a detailed classification of wave structures in both focusing and defocusing cases of the cmKdV equations. This research offers new insights into the behavior and classification of nonlinear periodic waves in the cmKdV equations.
