Different physical structures of solutions for a generalized Boussinesq wave equation

A technique based on the reduction of order for solving differential equations is employed to investigate a generalized nonlinear Boussinesq wave equation.

New exact travelling wave solutions of two nonlinear physical models

In this paper, an improved tanh function method is used with a computerized symbolic computation for constructing new exact travelling wave solutions on two nonlinear physical models namely, the quantum Zakharov equations and the (2+1)-dimensional Broer–Kaup–Kupershmidt (BKK) system. The main idea of this method is to take full advantage of the Riccati equation which has more new solutions.The exact solutions are obtained which include new soliton-like solutions, trigonometric function solutions and rational solutions. The method is straightforward and concise, and its applications are promising.     

Solitary wave solutions of the one-dimensional Boussinesq equations

In this paper we derive an analytical solution of the one-dimensional Boussinesq equations, in the case of waves relatively long, with small amplitudes, in water of varying depth. To derive the analytical solution we first assume that the solution of the model has a prescribed wave form, and then we obtain the wave velocity, the wave number and the wave amplitude. Finally a specific application for some realistic values of wave parameters is given and a graphical presentation of the results is provided.      

New exact solutions of a generalised Boussinesq equation with damping term and a system of variant Boussinesq equations via double reduction theory

The conservation laws of a generalised Boussinesq (GB) equation with damping term are derived via the partial Noether approach. The derived conserved vectors are adjusted to satisfy the divergence condition. We use the definition of the association of symmetries of partial differential equations with conservation laws and the relationship between symmetries and conservation laws to find a double reduction of the equation. As a result, several new exact solutions are obtained. A similar analysis is performed for a system of variant Boussinesq (VB) equations.

New exact solutions for the nonlinear wave equation with fifth-order nonlinear term

The purpose of this paper is to reveal the dynamical behavior of the nonlinear wave equation with fifth-order nonlinear term, and provides its bounded traveling wave solutions. Applying the bifurcation theory of planar dynamical systems, we depict phase portraits of the traveling wave system corresponding to this equation under various parameter conditions. Through discussing the bifurcation of phase portraits, we obtain all explicit expressions of solitary wave solutions and kink wave solutions. Further, we investigate the relation between the bounded orbit of the traveling wave system and the energy level h. By analyzing the energy level constant h, we get all possible periodic wave solutions.     

Periodic solutions in unbounded domains for the Boussinesq system

Assuming that the external forces of the system are small enough, the reference temperature being a periodic function, we study the existence, the uniqueness and the regularity of time-periodic solutions for the Boussinesq equations in several classes of unbounded domains of Rn. Our analysis is based on the framework of weak-Lp spaces.     

Solitary wave solutions for a general Boussinesq type fluid model

The possible solitary wave solutions for a general Boussinesq (GBQ) type fluid model are studied analytically. After proving the non-Painlevé integrability of the model, the first type of exact explicit travelling solitary wave with a special velocity selection is found by the truncated Painlevé expansion. The general solitary waves with different travelling velocities can be studied by casting the problems to the Newtonian quasi-particles moving in some proper one dimensional potential fields. For some special velocity selections, the solitary waves possess different shapes, say, the left moving solitary waves may possess different shapes and/or amplitudes with those of the right moving solitons. For some other velocities, the solitary waves are completely prohibited. There are three types of GBQ systems (GBQSs) according to the different selections of the model parameters. For the first type of GBQS, both the faster moving and lower moving solitary waves allowed but the solitary waves with“middle” velocities are prohibit. For the second type of GBQS all the slower moving solitary waves are completely prohibit while for the third type of GBQS only the slower moving solitary waves are allowed. Only the solitary waves with the almost unit velocities meet the weak non-linearity conditions.

We also discuss the boundedness of these solutions. More over, we study the correlative characteristic of the solitary-wave solutions and the periodic wave solutions along with the travelling wave velocity＇s variation.
