A note on the wave propagation in water of variable depth

In the present work, utilizing the two dimensional equations of an incompressible inviscid fluid and the reductive perturbation method we studied the propagation of weakly nonlinear waves in water of variable depth. For the case of slowly varying depth, the evolution equation is obtained as the variable coefficient Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. Due to the difficulties for the analytical solutions, a numerical technics so called “the method of integrating factor” is used and the evolution equation is solved under a given initial condition and the bottom topography. It is observed the parameters of bottom topography causes to the changes in wave amplitude, wave profile and the wave speed.     

Nonlinear sloshing and passage through resonance in a shallow water tank

This paper is concerned with the effect of slowly changing the length of a tank on the nonlinear standing waves (free vibrations) and resonant forced oscillations of shallow water in the tank. The analysis begins with the Boussinesq equations. These are reduced to a nonlinear differential-difference equation for the slow variation of a Riemann invariant on one end. Then a multiple scale expansion yields a KdV equation with slowly changing coefficients for the standing wave problem, which is reduced to a KdV equation with a variable dispersion coefficient. The effect of changing the tank length on the number of solitons in the tank is investigated through numerical solutions of the variable coefficient KdV equation. A KdV equation which is “periodically” forced and slowly detuned results for the passage through resonance problem. Then the amplitude-frequency curves for the fundamental resonance and the first overtone are given numerically, as well as solutions corresponding to multiple equilibria. The evolution between multiple equilibria is also examined.

Solitary waves in a fluid-filled thin elastic tube with variable cross-section

The present work treats the arteries as a thin walled prestressed elastic tube with variable cross-section and uses the longwave approximation to study the propagation of weakly nonlinear waves in such a fluid-filled elastic tube by employing the reductive perturbation method. By considering the blood as an incompressible inviscid fluid, the evolution equation is obtained as the Korteweg–de Vries equation with a variable coefficient. It is shown that this type of equations admits a solitary wave type of solution with variable wave speed. It is observed that, for soft biological tissues with an exponential strain energy function the wave speed increases with distance for narrowing tubes while it decreases for expanding tubes.     

Solitary waves in a tapered prestressed fluid-filled elastic tube

In the present work, treating the arteries as a tapered, thin walled, long and circularly conical prestressed elastic tube and using the longwave approximation, we have studied the propagation of weakly nonlinear waves in such a fluid-filled elastic tube by employing the reductive perturbation method. By considering the blood as an incompressible inviscid fluid the evolution equation is obtained as the Korteweg-de Vries equation with a variable coefficient. It is shown that this type of equations admit a solitary wave type of solution with variable wave speed. It is observed that, the wave speed increases with distance for positive tapering while it decreases for negative tapering.

Analytic solutions of a (2 + 1)‐dimensional variable‐coefficient Broer–Kaup system

Based on a Riccati equation and one of its new generalized solitary solutions constructed by the Exp‐function method, new analytic solutions with free parameters and arbitrary functions of a (2 + 1)‐dimensional variable‐coefficient Broer–Kaup system are obtained. These free parameters and arbitrary functions reveal that the (2 + 1)‐dimensional variable‐coefficient Broer–Kaup system has rich spatial structures. As an illustrative example, two new spatial structures are shown by setting the arbitrary functions as different Jacobi elliptic functions. Compared with tanh‐function method and its extensions, the method proposed in this paper is more powerful and it can be applied to other nonlinear evolution equations.

Weakly nonlinear waves in a linearly tapered elastic tube filled with a fluid

In the present work, treating the arteries as a tapered, thin-walled, long and circularly conical prestressed elastic tube and using the long-wave approximation, we have studied the propagation of weakly nonlinear waves in such a fluid-filled elastic tube by employing the reductive perturbation method. By considering the blood as an incompressible inviscid fluid the evolution equation is obtained as the Korteweg-de Vries equation with a variable coefficient. It is shown that this type of equations admits a solitary wave type of solution with variable wave speed. It is observed that the wave speed increases with the scaled time parameter τ for positive tapering while it decreases for negative tapering, as expected.     

Coupled evolution equations for axially inhomogeneous optical fibres

At ‘monomode’ frequencies, a uniform axisymmetricoptical fibre can support left- and right-handed circularlypolarized modes having the same dispersion relation. Nonlinearityintroduces cubic terms into the evolution equations, which arecoupled nonlinear Schrdinger equations (Newboult, Parker, andFaulkner, 1989). This paper analyses signal propagation in axisymmetricfibres for which the distribution of dielectric properties variesgradually, but significantly, along the fibre. At each cross-section,left- and right-handed modal fields are defined, but their axialvariations introduce changes into the coupled evolution equations.Two regimes are identified. When axial variations occur on lengthscales comparable with nonlinear evolution effects, the governingequations are determined as coupled nonlinear Schrdinger equationswith variable coefficients. On the other hand, for more rapidaxial variations it is found that the evolution equations haveconstant coefficients, defined as appropriate averages of thoseassociated with each cross-section. Situations in which thevariable coefficient equations may be transformed into constantcoefficient equations are investigated. It is found that theonly possibilities are natural generalizations of thosefoundby Grimshaw (1979) for a single nonlinear Schrdinger equation.In such cases, suitable sech-envelope pulses will propagatewithout radiation. Numerical evidence is presented that, insome other cases with periodically varying coefficients, a sech-envelopepulse loses little amplitude even after propagating through40 periods of axial inhomogeneity of significant amplitude.

Analytic solution of a class of fractional differential equations with variable coefficients by operatorial methods

In this note we show the analytic solution of a class of fractional differential equations with variable coefficients by using operatorial methods. Taking inspiration from previous papers by Dattoli et al. [4], [5] and [6] about spectral properties of Laguerre derivative, we here generalize some of their results to fractional evolution equations. Besides that, we have two interesting generalized examples. One is about telegraph equation with time dependent coefficient. The other, that could be of some interest for realistic applications, is the fractional diffusion with a space-dependent diffusion coefficient.

The Bismut-Elworthy formula for backward SDE's and applications to nonlinear Kolmogorov equations and control in infinite dimensional spaces

We consider a forward-backward system of stochastic evolution equations in a Hilbert space. Under nondegeneracy assumptions on the diffusion coefficient (that may be nonconstant) we prove an analogue of the well-known Bismut-Elworthy formula. Next, we consider a nonlinear version of the Kolmogorov equation, i.e. a deterministic quasilinear equation associated to the system according to Pardoux, E and Peng, S. (1992). "Backward stochastic differential equations and quasilinear parabolic partial differential equations". In: Rozowskii, B.L., Sowers, R.B. (Eds.), Stochastic Partial Differential Equations and Their Applications , Lecture Notes in Control Inf. Sci., Vol. 176, pp. 200-217. Springer: Berlin. The Bismut-Elworthy formula is applied to prove smoothing effect, i.e. to prove existence and uniqueness of a solution which is differentiable with respect to the space variable, even if the initial datum and (some) coefficients of the equation are not. The results are then applied to the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation of stochastic optimal control. This way we are able to characterize optimal controls by feedback laws for a class of infinite-dimensional control systems, including in particular the stochastic heat equation with state-dependent diffusion coefficient.     

A new symmetry approach to solve space–time‐dependent KdV systems

In this paper, a new method to solve space–time‐dependent non‐linear equations is proposed. After considering the variable coefficient of a non‐linear equation as a new dependent variable, some special types of space–time‐dependent equations can be solved from corresponding space–time‐independent equations by using the general classical Lie approach. The rich soliton solutions of space–time‐dependent KdV equation and mKdV equation are given with the help of the approach. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

On RF-pairs, Bäcklund transformations and linearization of nonlinear equations

Some classes of nonlinear equations of mathematical physics are described that admit order reduction through the use of a hydrodynamic-type transformation, where the unknown function is taken as a new independent variable and an appropriate partial derivative is taken as the new dependent variable. RF-pairs and associated Bäcklund transformations are constructed for evolution equations of general form. The results obtained are used for order reduction of hydrodynamic equations (Navier-Stokes and boundary layer) and constructing exact solutions to these equations. A generalized Calogero equation and a number of other new linearizable nonlinear differential equations of the second, third and forth orders are considered. Some integro-differential equations are analyzed.     

On Stokes flow with variable and degenerate surface tension coefficient

Short-time existence, uniqueness, and regularity results are shown for the moving boundary problem of a free drop of liquid governed by the Stokes equations and driven by surface tension. The value of the surface tension coefficient is variable, not necessarily strictly positive, and transported with the flow on the moving surface.By a perturbation of identity approach, the problem is transformed into a nonlinear, nonlocal first order degenerate parabolic evolution equation on a fixed reference manifold. Its solvability is proved by deriving a priori estimates and using Galerkin approximations.     

Burgers and Black–Merton–Scholes equations with real time variable and complex spatial variable

The purpose of this article is to study the Burgers and Black–Merton–Scholes equations with real time variable and complex spatial variable. The complexification of the spatial variable in these equations is made by two different methods which produce different equations: first, one complexifies the spatial variable in the corresponding (real) solution by replacing the usual sum of variables (translation) by an exponential product (rotation) and secondly, one complexifies the spatial variable in the corresponding evolution equation and then one searches for analytic and non-analytic solutions. By both methods, new kinds of evolution equations (or systems of equations) in two dimensional spatial variables are generated and their solutions are constructed.     

Weak Formulation of Free-Surface Wave Equations

An alternative method for deriving water wave dispersion relations and evolution equations is to use a weak formulation. The free-surface displacement η is written as an eigenfunction expansion, [equation] where the an(t) are time-dependent coefficients. For a tank with vertical sides the E_n are eigenfunctions of the eigenvalue problem, [equation] on the tank side walls. Evolution equations for the a_n(t) can be obtained by taking inner products of the lin-earised equation of motion, [equation] with the normal irrotational wave modes. For unforced waves each evolution equation is a simple harmonic oscillator, but the method is most useful when the body force F is something more exotic than gravity. It can always be represented by a forcing term in the SHM evolution equation, and it is not necessary to assume F irrotational. Several applications are considered: the Faraday experiment, generation of surface waves by an unsteady magnetic field, and the metal-pad instability in aluminium reduction cells.
