Multiple solitons, multiple lump solutions, and lump wave with solitons for a novel (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear partial differential equation

Abstract The primary aim of this paper is to explore exact solutions to a novel (2+1)-dimensional water wave equation that models oceanic wave phenomena. We begin by applying the Hirota bilinear transformation method to derive multi-soliton solutions, including 3-soliton and 4-soliton solutions. Then, utilizing the bilinear form of the equation and the long-wave limit method, we identify multiple lump solutions and interaction solutions between lumps and solitons. These include 1-lump, 2-lump, and 3-lump solutions, as well as interactions between a 1-lump and a 1-soliton, and between a 1-lump and 2-solitons. The physical dynamics of these solutions are visually represented, offering insight into the corresponding oceanic wave phenomena.
