  • Descrição: We report on an experimental realization of a bidirectional soliton gas in a 34-m-long wave flume in a shallow water regime. We take advantage of the fission of a sinusoidal wave to continuously inject solitons that propagate along the tank, back and forth. Despite the unavoidable damping, solitons retain their profile adiabatically, while decaying. The outcome is the formation of a stationary state characterized by a dense soliton gas whose statistical properties are well described by a pure integrable dynamics. The basic ingredient in the gas, i.e., the two-soliton interaction, is studied in detail and compared favorably with the analytical solutions of the Kaup-Boussinesq integrable equation. High resolution space-time measurements of the surface elevation in the wave flume provide a unique tool for studying experimentally the whole spectrum of excitations.
