摘要：
我们报告了沿流体环面传播的孤子的实验观测结果。我们表明，与经典平面几何相比，这种周期性系统会产生显著差异。特别是，我们重点观测到亚音速抬升孤子，以及孤子速度对其振幅的非线性依赖关系。我们利用高分辨率时空测量表征了孤子的轮廓、速度、碰撞和耗散。通过对 Korteweg-de Vries（KdV）方程施加周期性边界条件，我们复现了这些观测结果。我们还在这种周期性几何中实施了孤子的非线性谱分析（周期性逆散射变换），并进行了实验验证。因此，我们的工作揭示了周期性对于研究孤子的重要性，并可应用于涉及由 KdV 方程支配的周期性系统的其他领域。
英文摘要：
We report on the experimental observation of solitons propagating along a torus of fluid. We show that such a periodic system leads to significant differences compared to the classical plane geometry. In particular, we highlight the observation of subsonic elevation solitons, and a nonlinear dependence of the soliton velocity on its amplitude. The soliton profile, velocity, collision, and dissipation are characterized using high resolution space-time measurements. By imposing periodic boundary conditions onto Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation, we recover these observations. A nonlinear spectral analysis of solitons (periodic inverse scattering transform) is also implemented and experimentally validated in this periodic geometry. Our work thus reveals the importance of periodicity for studying solitons and could be applied to other fields involving periodic systems governed by a KdV equation.
