Reductions and conserved quantities for discrete compound KdV–Burgers equations

We present two methods to reduce the discrete compound KdV–Burgers equation, which are reductions of the independent and dependent variables: the translational invariant method has been applied in order to reduce the independent variables; and a discrete spectral matrix has been introduced to reduce the number of dependent variables. Based on the invariance of a discrete compound KdV--Burgers equation under infinitesimal transformation with respect to its dependent and independent variables, we present the determining equations of transformation Lie groups for the KdV--Burgers equation and use the characteristic equations to obtain new forms of invariants.     

Multi-symplectic method for the coupled Schrdinger–KdV equations

In this paper, we present a multi-symplectic Hamiltonian formulation of the coupled Schr¨odinger-KdV equations(CSKE) with periodic boundary conditions. Then we develop a novel multi-symplectic Fourier pseudospectral(MSFP)scheme for the CSKE. In numerical experiments, we compare the MSFP method with the Crank–Nicholson(CN) method.Our results show high accuracy, effectiveness, and good ability of conserving the invariants of the MSFP method.     

The modified multiple (G ′ / G )-expansion method and its application to Sharma–Tasso–Olver equation

The modified multiple ( \(G^{\prime }/G\) )-expansion method is proposed in this paper to construct exact solutions of nonlinear evolution equations. The validity and advantage of the proposed method are illustrated by its application to the Sharma–Tasso–Olver equation. As a result, various exact solutions including hyperbolic functions, trigonometric functions and their mixture with parameters are obtained. When some parameters are taken as special values, the known double solitary-like wave solutions are derived from the double hyperbolic function solution. It is shown that the method introduced in this paper has general significance in searching for exact solutions to the nonlinear evolution equations.

Exact traveling wave solutions of an autonomous system via the enhanced (G′/G)-expansion method

Mathematical modeling of many autonomous physical systems leads to nonlinear evolution equations because most physical systems are inherently nonlinear in nature. The investigation of traveling wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations plays a significant role in the study of nonlinear physical phenomena. In this article, the enhanced (G′/G)-expansion method has been applied for finding the exact traveling wave solutions of longitudinal wave motion equation in a nonlinear magneto-electro-elastic circular rod. Each of the obtained solutions contains an explicit function of the variables in the considered equations. It has been shown that the applied method provides a powerful mathematical tool for solving nonlinear wave equations in mathematical physics and engineering fields.     

The Elastoplast Discontinuous Galerkin (EDG) method for the Navier–Stokes equations

The present work details the Elastoplast (this name is a translation from the French “sparadrap”, a concept first applied by Yves Morchoisne for Spectral methods [1]) Discontinuous Galerkin (EDG) method to solve the compressible Navier–Stokes equations. This method was first presented in 2009 at the ICOSAHOM congress with some Cartesian grid applications. We focus here on unstructured grid applications for which the EDG method seems very attractive. As in the Recovery method presented by van Leer and Nomura in 2005 for diffusion, jumps across element boundaries are locally eliminated by recovering the solution on an overlapping cell. In the case of Recovery, this cell is the union of the two neighboring cells and the Galerkin basis is twice as large as the basis used for one element. In our proposed method the solution is rebuilt through an L² projection of the discontinuous interface solution on a small rectangular overlapping interface element, named Elastoplast, with an orthogonal basis of the same order as the one in the neighboring cells. Comparisons on 1D and 2D scalar diffusion problems in terms of accuracy and stability with other viscous DG schemes are first given. Then, 2D results on acoustic problems, vortex problems and boundary layer problems both on Cartesian or unstructured triangular grids illustrate stability, precision and versatility of this method.     

A connection between the(G'/G)-expansion method and the truncated Painlevé expansion method and its application to the mKdV equation

Recently the (G'/G)-expansion method was proposed to find the traveling wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations. This paper shows that the (G'/G)-expansion method is a special form of the truncated Painlevé expansion method by introducing an intermediate expansion method. Then the generalized (G'/G)--(G'/G) expansion method is naturally derived from the standpoint of the nonstandard truncated Painlevé expansion. The application of the generalized method to the mKdV equation shows that it extends the range of exact solutions obtained by using the (G'/G)-expansion method.

Based on the zero seed solution, the positon solution and the hybrid solutions of positon and soliton are constructed. The composition of positons is studied, showing that multi-positons of(2+1)-dimensional equations...     

Numerical comparisons of time–space iterative method and spatial iterative methods for the stationary Navier–Stokes equations

This paper makes some numerical comparisons of time–space iterative method and spatial iterative methods for solving the stationary Navier–Stokes equations. The time–space iterative method consists in solving the nonstationary Stokes equations based on the time–space discretization by the Euler implicit/explicit scheme under a weak uniqueness condition (A2). The spatial iterative methods consist in solving the stationary Stokes scheme, Newton scheme, Oseen scheme based on the spatial discretization under some strong uniqueness assumptions. We compare the stability and convergence conditions of the time–space iterative method and the spatial iterative methods. Moreover, the numerical tests show that the time–space iterative method is the more simple than the spatial iterative methods for solving the stationary Navier–Stokes problem. Furthermore, the time–space iterative method can solve the stationary Navier–Stokes equations with some small viscosity and the spatial iterative methods can only solve the stationary Navier–Stokes equations with some large viscosities.     

An accurate and efficient method for the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations using the projection method as a preconditioner

The projection method is a widely used fractional-step algorithm for solving the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations. Despite numerous improvements to the methodology, however, imposing physical boundary conditions with projection-based fluid solvers remains difficult, and obtaining high-order accuracy may not be possible for some choices of boundary conditions. In this work, we present an unsplit, linearly-implicit discretization of the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations on a staggered grid along with an efficient solution method for the resulting system of linear equations. Since our scheme is not a fractional-step algorithm, it is straightforward to specify general physical boundary conditions accurately; however, this capability comes at the price of having to solve the time-dependent incompressible Stokes equations at each timestep. To solve this linear system efficiently, we employ a Krylov subspace method preconditioned by the projection method. In our implementation, the subdomain solvers required by the projection preconditioner employ the conjugate gradient method with geometric multigrid preconditioning. The accuracy of the scheme is demonstrated for several problems, including forced and unforced analytic test cases and lid-driven cavity flows. These tests consider a variety of physical boundary conditions with Reynolds numbers ranging from 1 to 30000. The effectiveness of the projection preconditioner is compared to an alternative preconditioning strategy based on an approximation to the Schur complement for the time-dependent incompressible Stokes operator. The projection method is found to be a more efficient preconditioner in most cases considered in the present work.     

Absorbing boundary conditions for the Euler and Navier–Stokes equations with the spectral difference method

Two absorbing boundary conditions, the absorbing sponge zone and the perfectly matched layer, are developed and implemented for the spectral difference method discretizing the Euler and Navier–Stokes equations on unstructured grids. The performance of both boundary conditions is evaluated and compared with the characteristic boundary condition for a variety of benchmark problems including vortex and acoustic wave propagations. The applications of the perfectly matched layer technique in the numerical simulations of unsteady problems with complex geometries are also presented to demonstrate its capability.

Symmetry reductions and exact solutions are reported for Higgs equation and Hamiltonian amplitude equation. We also establish the travelling wave solutions involving parameters of the coupled Higgs equation and Hamiltonian amplitude equation using (G??/G)-expansion method, where G?=?G(??) satisfies a second-order linear ordinary differential equation (ODE). The travelling wave solutions expressed by hyperbolic, trigonometric and the rational functions are obtained.

We investigated exact traveling soliton solutions for the nonlinear electrical transmission line. By applying a concise and straightforward method, the variable-coefficient discrete（G /G）-expansion method, we solve the nonlinear differential–difference equations associated with the network. We obtain some exact traveling wave solutions which include hyperbolic function solution, trigonometric function solution, rational solutions with arbitrary function, bright as well as dark solutions.     

Formulation of the Korteweg–de Vries and the Burgers equations expressing mass transports from the generalized Kawasaki–Ohta equation

By generalization of the Kawasaki–Ohta equation representing the interface dynamics, we report formulation of equations, which express mass transports, deterministic and stochastic, for nonlinear lattices. The equations are written characteristically by flow variable representations defined in the Letter. We found that the KdV equation and the Burgers equation, formulated by the flow variables, express mass transports in hydrodynamics and in stochastic processes, respectively. The representations lead to the conclusion that in nonequilibria we should observe a change not in a concentration but in concentration flows.     

A stable and conservative high order multi-block method for the compressible Navier–Stokes equations

A stable and conservative high order multi-block method for the time-dependent compressible Navier–Stokes equations has been developed. Stability and conservation are proved using summation-by-parts operators, weak interface conditions and the energy method. This development makes it possible to exploit the efficiency of the high order finite difference method for non-trivial geometries. The computational results corroborate the theoretical analysis.

Analogue of the Cole-Hopf transform for the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations and its application

We consider the Navier–Stokes equations written in the stream function in two dimensions and vector potentials in three dimensions, which are critical dependent variables. On this basis, we introduce an analogue of the Cole-Hopf transform, which exactly reduces the Navier–Stokes equations to the heat equations with a potential term (i.e. the nonlinear Schrödinger equation at imaginary times). The following results are obtained. (i) A regularity criterion immediately obtains as the boundedness of condition for the potential term when the equations are recast in a path-integral form by the Feynman-Kac formula. (ii) This in turn gives an additional characterisation of possible singularities for the Navier–Stokes equations. (iii) Some numerical results for the two-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations are presented to demonstrate how the potential term captures near-singular structures. Finally, we extend this formulation to higher dimensions, where the regularity issues are markedly open.     

An element-free Galerkin(EFG) method for numerical solution of the coupled Schrdinger-KdV equations

The present paper deals with the numerical solution of the coupled Schrdinger-KdV equations using the elementfree Galerkin(EFG) method which is based on the moving least-square approximation.Instead of traditional mesh oriented methods such as the finite difference method(FDM) and the finite element method(FEM),this method needs only scattered nodes in the domain.For this scheme,a variational method is used to obtain discrete equations and the essential boundary conditions are enforced by the penalty method.In numerical experiments,the results are presented and compared with the findings of the finite element method,the radial basis functions method,and an analytical solution to confirm the good accuracy of the presented scheme.
