Abstract
Based on the equations of the f-plane shallow water model, a new set of nonlinear models for the interaction of the vortices in the f-plane shallow water system are established by using perturbation expansion and multi-scale method. These models have different nonlinear characteristics. The asymptotic analytical solution(vortex solution) is obtained by using Newton iteration method and quasi-spectral method. In the simulation process, different from the previous studies, the initial values were constructed by using the asymptotic analytical solution for the first time to simulate the interaction process of the vortices. The result shows that the single vortex maintains a stable state for a long time under fixed parameters. The approximate critical distances of the binary vortices are different under different nonlinear effects. When the distance between binary vortices is less than, equal to, or greater than the critical distance, the binary vortices merge, rotate or separate. In addition, when the vortices interact, the critical distance of mKdV-type vortex is slightly larger than that of KdV-type vortex. This indicates that the nonlinear effect increases the energy loss rate during the interaction of the vortices and weakens the intensity of the interaction until the vortices are separated and do not affect each other.
