Invariant submodels of the Westervelt model with dissipation

We study three-dimensional Westervelt model of nonlinear hydroacoustics with dissipation. We received all its invariant submodels. With the help of invariant solutions, we explored some wave processes, specifying their physical meaning. The boundary value problems describing these processes are reduced to the nonlinear integro-differential equations. We established the existence and uniqueness of the solutions of these boundary value problems under some additional conditions. Also we considered the invariant solutions of rank 2 and 3. Mechanical relevance of the obtained solutions is as follows: (1) these solutions describe nonlinear and diffraction effects in ultrasonic fields of a special kind, (2) these solutions can be used as a test solutions in the numerical calculations performed in studies of ultrasonic fields generated by powerful emitters.     

Painlevé integrability, similarity reductions, new soliton and soliton-like similarity solutions for the (2+1)-dimensional BKP equation

The (2+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equation of B-type (BKP) is hereby investigated. New soliton solutions and soliton-like similarity solutions are constructed for the (2+1)-dimensional BKP equation. The similarity solutions are not travelling wave solutions when the arbitrary functions involved are chosen appropriately. Painlevé test shows that there are two solution branches, one of which has the resonance ?2. And four similarity reductions for the BKP equation are given out through nontrivial variable transformations. Moreover, abundant soliton behaviour modes of the solutions, such as soliton fusion and soliton reflection, are discussed in detail.     

Method of fundamental solutions for multidimensional Stokes equations by the dual-potential formulation

A simple and accurate boundary-type meshless method of fundamental solutions (MFS) is applied to solve both 2D and 3D Stokes flows based on the dual-potential formulation of velocity potential and stream function vector. Using the dual-potential concept, the solutions of both 2D and 3D Stokes flows are obtained by combining the much simpler fundamental solutions of Laplace (potential) and bi-harmonic equations without using the complicated singular fundamental solutions such as Stokeslets and their derivatives as well as source doublet hypersingularity. The developed algorithm is used to test five numerical experiments for 2D flows: (1) circular cavity, (2) wave-shaped bottom cavity and (3) circular cavity with eccentric rotating cylinder; and for 3D flows: (4) a uniform flow passing a sphere and (5) a uniform flow passing a pair of spheres. Good results are obtained as comparing with solutions of analytical and numerical methods such as FEM, BEM and other meshfree schemes.     

Quasi-Periodic Solutions and Stability for a Weakly Damped Nonlinear Quasi-Periodic Mathieu Equation

Quasi-Periodic (QP) solutions are investigated for a weakly dampednonlinear QP Mathieu equation. A double parametric primary resonance(1:2, 1:2) is considered. To approximate QP solutions, a double multiple-scales method is applied to transform the original QP oscillator to anautonomous system performing two successive reductions. In a first step,the multiple-scales method is applied to the original equation to derive afirst reduced differential amplitude-phase system having periodiccomponents. The stability of stationary solutions of this reduced systemis analyzed. In a second step, the multiple-scales method is applied again tothe first reduced system (RS) to obtain a second autonomous differentialamplitude-phase RS. The problem for approximating QP solutions of theoriginal system is then transformed to the study of stationary regimesof the induced autonomous second RS. Explicit analytical approximationsto QP solutions are obtained and comparisons to numerical integrationare provided.     

Bifurcation method for solving multiple positive solutions to boundary value problem of <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-Henon equation on the unit disk

In this paper, an algorithm is proposed to solve the 0（2） symmetric positive solutions to the boundary value problem of the p-Henon equation. Taking 1 in the p- Henon equation as a bifurcation parameter, the symmetry-breaking bifurcation point on the branch of the O（2） symmetric positive solutions is found via the extended systems. The other symmetric positive solutions are computed by the branch switching method based on the Liapunov-Schmidt reduction.     

Exact traveling wave solutions to 2D-generalized Benney-Luke equation

By using the dynamical system method to study the 2D-generalized Benney- Luke equation, the existence of kink wave solutions and uncountably infinite many smooth periodic wave solutions is shown. Explicit exact parametric representations for solutions of kink wave, periodic wave and unbounded traveling wave are obtained.     

Spatial local solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations

This paper considers solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations polynomial in the coordinates, which. are called local solutions. For an incompressible fluid, all higher-order terms (sums of higher-order. monomials) of degree 2 are found and it is proved that nontrivial axisymmetric higher-order terms. of degree higher than 2 do not exist. Nonsolenoidal axisymmetric solutions are listed, which can be. treated as steady-state barotropic gas flows in a potential external-force field. All elliptic vortices. generalizing the well-known Kirchhoff solution are calculated. All solutions of degree 3 with the. higher-order term of partial form are found. Some of these solutions break down in a finite time. regardless of the value and sign of viscosity. __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika i Tekhnicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 50, No. 2, pp. 109–119, March–April, 2009.

Sub-harmonic resonant solutions of a harmonically excited dry friction oscillator

Special sub-harmonic solutions of a harmonically forced dry-friction oscillator are analysed. Although the typical non-sticking solutions are stable and symmetric, a continuum of possible asymmetric, marginally stable solutions exist at excitation frequencies Ω = 1/2n. We determine the explicit form of the one-parameter family of these solutions, and give the conditions under which our formulae are valid. The stability of the solutions is examined in the third-order approximation. Finally, our analytical results are checked by numerical simulations.
