Local conservation laws,symmetries, and exact solutions for a Kudryashov‐Sinelshchikov equation

In this paper, we consider a Kudryashov‐Sinelshchikov equation that describes pressure waves in a mixture of a liquid and gas bubbles taking into consideration the viscosity of liquid and the heat transfer between liquid and gas bubbles. We show that this equation is rich in conservation laws. These conservation laws have been found by using the direct method of the multipliers. We apply the Lie group method to derive the symmetries of this equation. Then, by using the optimal system of 1‐dimensional subalgebras we reduce the equation to ordinary differential equations. Finally, some exact wave solutions are obtained by applying the simplest equation method.     

Analytic solution for heat transfer of a third grade viscoelastic fluid in non-Darcy porous media with thermophysical effects

An analytic approximate solution is presented for the natural convective dissipative heat transfer of an incompressible, third grade, non-Newtonian fluid flowing past an infinite porous plate embedded in a Darcy–Forchheimer porous medium. The mathematical model is developed in an $(x\text{,}y)$ coordinate system. Using a set of transformations, the momentum equation is rendered one-dimensional and a partly linearized heat conservation equation is derived. The viscoelastic formulation presented by Akyildiz [Akyildiz FT. A note on the flow of a third grade between heated parallel plates. Int J Non-Linear Mech 2001;36:349–52] is adopted, which generates lateral mass and viscoelastic terms in the heat conservation equation, as well as in the momentum equation. A number of special cases of the general transformed model are discussed. A homotopy analysis method (HAM) is implemented to solve, with appropriate boundary conditions, the coupled third-order, second degree ordinary differential equation for momentum and the second-order, fourth degree heat conservation equation.

The one dimensional simulation for the sinusoidal energy distributions are compared with the theoretical results, showing good agreement. The theoretical conductivity in the energy equation is in accordance with the simulations.

Conservation laws of KdV equation with time dependent coefficients

We determine conservation laws of the generalized KdV equation of time dependent variable coefficients of the linear damping and dispersion. The underlying equation is not derivable from a variational principle and hence one cannot use Noether’s theorem here to construct conservation laws as there is no Lagrangian. However, we show that by utilizing the new conservation theorem and the partial Lagrangian approach one can construct a number of local and nonlocal conservation laws for the underlying equation.     

Coupled fluid-solid thermal interaction modeling for efficient transient simulation of biphasic water-steam energy systems

This paper proposes a fluid-solid coupled finite element formulation for the transient simulation of water-steam energy systems with phase change due to boiling and condensation. As it is commonly assumed in the study of thermal systems, the transient effects considered are exclusively originated by heat transfer processes. A homogeneous mixture model is adopted for the analysis of biphasic flow, resulting in a nonlinear transient advection-diffusion-reaction energy equation and an integral form for mass conservation in the fluid, coupled to the linear transient heat conduction equation for the solid. The conservation equations are approximated applying a stabilized Petrov-Galerkin FEM formulation, providing a set of coupled nonlinear equations for mass and energy conservation. This numerical model, combined with experimental heat transfer coefficients, provides a comprehensive simulation tool for the coupled analysis of boiling and condensation processes. For the treatment of enthalpy discontinuities traveling with the flow, a novel explicit-implicit time integration method based on Crank-Nicolson scheme is proposed, analyzing its accuracy and stability properties. To reduce problem size and enhance numerical efficiency, a modal superposition method with balanced truncation is applied to the solid equations. Finally, different example problems are solved to demonstrate the capabilities, flexibility and accuracy of the proposed formulation.     

Geometry of conservation laws for a class of parabolic PDE's, II: Normal forms for equations with conservation laws

We consider conservation laws for second-order parabolic partial differential equations for one function of three independent variables. An explicit normal form is given for such equations having a nontrivial conservation law. It is shown that any such equation whose space of conservation laws has dimension at least four is locally contact equivalent to a quasi-linear equation. Examples are given of nonlinear equations that have an infinite-dimensional space of conservation laws parameterized (in the sense of Cartan-K?hler) by two arbitrary functions of one variable. Furthermore, it is shown that any equation whose space of conservation laws is larger than this is locally contact equivalent to a linear equation.

Method for solving the Boltzmann kinetic equation for polyatomic gases

A method is proposed for computing the collision operator of a generalized Boltzmann kinetic equation with allowance for energy transfer from translational to vibrational or rotational degrees of freedom. The collision operator is computed using a projection method on a uniform velocity grid. The operator satisfies the mass, momentum, and energy conservation laws and vanishes for an equilibrium velocity distribution function. Approximate models are suggested that provide savings on the computation of rotational-translational relaxation. Numerical examples are presented.

Conservation laws for the Black–Scholes equation

In the search for solutions to the important partial differential equation due to Black, Scholes and Merton potential symmetries are very useful as new solutions of the equation can be obtained as a result. These potential symmetries require that the equation be written in conserved form, ie. we need to determine conservation laws for the equation. We calculate the conservation laws utilizing the point symmetries of the equation following the method of Kara and Mahomed [A.H. Kara, F.M. Mahomed, The relationship between symmetries and conservation laws, Int. J. Theor. Phys. 39 (2000) 23–40].     

On the conservation laws and invariant solutions of the mKdV equation

In this paper, we consider modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equation. By using the nonlocal conservation theorem method and the partial Lagrangian approach, conservation laws for the mKdV equation are presented. It is observed that only nonlocal conservation theorem method lead to the nontrivial and infinite conservation laws. In addition, invariant solution is obtained by utilizing the relationship between conservation laws and Lie-point symmetries of the equation.     

Characteristics of Conservation Laws for Difference Equations

Each conservation law of a given partial differential equation is determined (up to equivalence) by a function known as the characteristic. This function is used to find conservation laws, to prove equivalence between conservation laws, and to prove the converse of Noether’s Theorem. Transferring these results to difference equations is nontrivial, largely because difference operators are not derivations and do not obey the chain rule for derivatives. We show how these problems may be resolved and illustrate various uses of the characteristic. In particular, we establish the converse of Noether’s Theorem for difference equations, we show (without taking a continuum limit) that the conservation laws in the infinite family generated by Rasin and Schiff are distinct, and we obtain all five-point conservation laws for the potential Lotka–Volterra equation.     

Conservation laws for a modified lubrication equation

In this work we study the conservation laws of a modified lubrication equation, which describes the dynamics of the interfacial motion in phase transition. We show that the equation is nonlinear self-adjoint and has an exact Lagrangian with an auxiliary function. As a result, by a general theorem on conservation laws proved by Nail Ibragimov recently and Noether’s theorem, some new conservation laws for the equation are obtained. Our results show that the non-locally defined conservation laws generated by Noether’s theorem are equivalent to the local ones given by Ibragimov’s theorem.     

Analysis of the one-dimensional Euler–Lagrange equation of continuum mechanics with a Lagrangian of a special form

The equations describing the flow of a one-dimensional continuum in Lagrangian coordinates are studied in this paper by the group analysis method. They are reduced to a single Euler–Lagrange equation which contains two undetermined functions (arbitrary elements). Particular choices of these arbitrary elements correspond to different forms of the shallow water equations, including those with both, a varying bottom and advective impulse transfer effect, and also some other motions of a continuum. A complete group classification of the equations with respect to the arbitrary elements is performed.One advantage of the Lagrangian coordinates consists of the presence of a Lagrangian, so that the equations studied become Euler–Lagrange equations. This allows us to apply Noether’s theorem for constructing conservation laws in Lagrangian coordinates. Not every conservation law in Lagrangian coordinates has a counterpart in Eulerian coordinates, whereas the converse is true. Using Noether’s theorem, conservation laws which can be obtained by the point symmetries are presented, and their analogs in Eulerian coordinates are given, where they exist.     

Convergence of a stochastic particle approximation for fractional scalar conservation laws

We are interested in a probabilistic approximation of the solution to scalar conservation laws with fractional diffusion and nonlinear drift. The probabilistic interpretation of this equation is based on a stochastic differential equation driven by an α-stable Lévy process and involving a nonlinear drift. The approximation is constructed using a system of particles following a time-discretized version of this stochastic differential equation, with nonlinearity replaced by interaction. We prove convergence of the particle approximation to the solution of the conservation law as the number of particles tends to infinity whereas the discretization step tends to 0 in some precise asymptotics.     

Nonlinear self-adjointness through differential substitutions

It is known (Ibragimov, 2011; Galiakberova and Ibragimov, 2013) [14,18] that the property of nonlinear self-adjointness allows to associate conservation laws of the equations under study, with their symmetries. In this paper we show that, even when the equation is nonlinearly self-adjoint with a non differential substitution, finding the explicit form of the differential substitution can provide new conservation laws associated to its symmetries. By using the general theorem on conservation laws (Ibragimov, 2007) [11] and the property of nonlinear self-adjointness we find some new conservation laws for the modified Harry-Dym equation. By using a differential substitution we construct a conservation law for the Harry-Dym equation, which has not been derived before using Ibragimov method.     

Conservation laws of a nonlinear (1+1) wave equation

In this paper, further study of the conservation laws of the nonlinear (1+1) wave equation involving two arbitrary functions of the dependent variable is performed. This equation is not derivable from a variational principle. By writing the equation, admitting a partial Lagrangian, in the partial Euler–Lagrange   form, partial Noether operators associated with the partial Lagrangian are obtained for all possible cases of the functions. These partial Noether operators do not form a Lie algebra in general. Partial Noether operators aid via a formula in the construction of the conservation laws of the equation. We obtain new conservation laws for the equation which have not been presented in the earlier literature.     

Self-adjointness and conservation laws for Kadomtsev–Petviashvili–Burgers equation

In this work we study the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili–Burgers equation, which is a natural model for the propagation of the two-dimensional damped waves. We show that the equation is nonlinear self-adjoint and it will become strict self-adjoint or weak self-adjoint in some equivalent form. By using Ibragimov’s theorem on conservation laws we find some conservation laws for this equation.     

Symmetry analysis, conservation laws of a time fractional fifth-order Sawada-Kotera equation

In this paper, we intend to study the symmetry properties and conservation laws of a time fractional fifth-order Sawada-Kotera (S-K) equation with Riemann-Liouville derivative. Applying the well-known Lie symmetry method, we analysis the symmetry properties of the equation. Based on this, we find that the S-K equation can be reduced to a fractional ordinary differential equation with Erdelyi-Kober derivative by the similarity variable and transformation. Furthermore, we construct some conservation laws for the S-K equation using the idea in the Ibragimov theorem on conservation laws and the fractional generalization of the Noether operators.
