Abstract
This paper studies a variable-coefficient KdV (vcKdV) equation arising in a shallow water. For a practically acceptable water bottom, we find that it can be transformed into the cylindrical KdV equation. As a result, several exact bounded solutions are obtained. One of the solutions has the shape of a solitary wave with a shelf behind, which confirms approximate analytical and numerical results in the literature.
