Travelling wave and similarity solutions to nonlinear evolution type equations through inverse variational and symmetry methods

Shallow water equations are usually modelled by nonlinear KdV type equations of which various generalisations now exist. For example there are vector versions of the modified KdV equation and shallow water equations with nonlinear internal waves. We discuss the reduction and solutions of these and other large classes of such type of equations using inverse variational and symmetry methods.

Soliton solutions of shallow water wave equations by means of G′/G expansion method

In this work, we investigate the traveling wave solutions for some generalized nonlinear equations: The generalized shallow water wave equation and the Whitham-Broer-Kaup model for dispersive long waves in the shallow water small-amplitude regime. We use the $G'/G$ expansion method to determine different soliton solutions of these models. The conditions of existence and uniqueness of exact solutions are also presented.

Exact solutions of one-dimensional nonlinear shallow water equations over even and sloping bottoms

We establish an equivalence of two systems of equations of one-dimensional shallow water models describing the propagation of surface waves over even and sloping bottoms. For each of these systems, we obtain formulas for the general form of their nondegenerate solutions, which are expressible in terms of solutions of the Darboux equation. The invariant solutions of the Darboux equation that we find are simplest representatives of its essentially different exact solutions (those not related by invertible point transformations). They depend on 21 arbitrary real constants; after “proliferation” formulas derived by methods of group theory analysis are applied, they generate a 27-parameter family of essentially different exact solutions. Subsequently using the derived infinitesimal “proliferation” formulas for the solutions in this family generates a denumerable set of exact solutions, whose linear span constitutes an infinite-dimensional vector space of solutions of the Darboux equation. This vector space of solutions of the Darboux equation and the general formulas for nondegenerate solutions of systems of shallow water equations with even and sloping bottoms give an infinite set of their solutions. The “proliferation” formulas for these systems determine their additional nondegenerate solutions. We also find all degenerate solutions of these systems and thus construct a database of an infinite set of exact solutions of systems of equations of the one-dimensional nonlinear shallow water model with even and sloping bottoms.     

Weak local residuals as smoothness indicators for the shallow water equations

The system of shallow water equations admits infinitely many conservation laws. This paper investigates weak local residuals as smoothness indicators of numerical solutions to the shallow water equations. To get a weak formulation, a test function and integration are introduced into the shallow water equations. We use a finite volume method to solve the shallow water equations numerically. Based on our numerical simulations, the weak local residual of a simple conservation law with a simple test function is identified to be the best as a smoothness indicator.     

Approximate analytical solutions of fractional gas dynamic equations

In this article, differential transform method (DTM) has been successfully applied to obtain the approximate analytical solutions of the nonlinear homogeneous and non-homogeneous gas dynamic equations, shock wave equation and shallow water equations with fractional order time derivatives. The true beauty of the article is manifested in its emphatic application of Caputo fractional order time derivative on the classical equations with the achievement of the highly accurate solutions by the known series solutions and even for more complicated nonlinear fractional partial differential equations (PDEs). The method is really capable of reducing the size of the computational work besides being effective and convenient for solving fractional nonlinear equations. Numerical results for different particular cases of the equations are depicted through graphs.     

A discontinuous Galerkin method for a new class of Green–Naghdi equations on simplicial unstructured meshes

In this paper, we introduce a discontinuous Finite Element formulation on simplicial unstructured meshes for the study of free surface flows based on the fully nonlinear and weakly dispersive Green-Naghdi equations. Working with a new class of asymptotically equivalent equations, which have a simplified analytical structure, we consider a decoupling strategy: we approximate the solutions of the classical shallow water equations supplemented with a source term globally accounting for the non-hydrostatic effects and we show that this source term can be computed through the resolution of scalar elliptic second-order sub-problems. The assets of the proposed discrete formulation are: (i) the handling of arbitrary unstructured simplicial meshes, (ii) an arbitrary order of approximation in space, (iii) the exact preservation of the motionless steady states, (iv) the preservation of the water height positivity, (v) a simple way to enhance any numerical code based on the nonlinear shallow water equations. The resulting numerical model is validated through several benchmarks involving nonlinear wave transformations and run-up over complex topographies.

Symmetries of shallow water equations on a rotating plane

We consider a system of nonlinear differential equations which describes the spatial motion of an ideal incompressible fluid on a rotating plane in the shallow water approximation and a more general system of the theory of long waves which takes into account the specifics of shear flows. Using the group analysis methods, we calculate the 9-dimensional Lie algebras of infinitesimal operators admissible by the models. We establish an isomorphism of these Lie algebras with a known Lie algebra of operators admissible by the system of equations for the two-dimensional isentropic motions of a polytropic gas with the adiabatic exponent γ = 2. The nontrivial symmetries of the models under consideration enable us to carry out the group generation of the solutions. The class of stationary solutions to the equations of rotating shallow water transforms into a new class of periodic solutions.
