New graphical observations for KdV equation and KdV–Burgers equation using modified auxiliary equation method

This study is made to extract the exact solutions of Korteweg–de Vries–Burgers (KdVB) equation and Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation. The original idea of this work is to investigate KdV equation and KdVB equation for possible closed form solutions by employing the modified auxiliary equation (MAE) method. Exact traveling wave solutions of the considered equations are retrieved in the form of trigonometric and hyperbolic functions. Kink, periodic and singular wave patterns are obtained from the constructed solutions. The graphical illustration of the wave solutions is presented using 3D-surface plots to acquire the understanding of physical behavior of the obtained results up to possible extent.

An Effect of Flow Velocity on Propagation Properties of Weakly Nonlinear Waves in Bubbly Flows

The present study theoretically carries out a derivation of the Korteweg–de Vries–Burgers (KdVB) equation and the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation for weakly nonlinear propagation of plane (i.e., one-dimensional) progressive waves in water flows containing many spherical gas bubbles that oscillate due to the pressure wave approaching the bubble. Main assumptions are as follows: (i) bubbly liquids are not at rest initially; (ii) the bubble does not coalesce, break up, extinct, and appear; (iii) the viscosity of the liquid phase is taken into account only at the bubble–liquid interface, although that of the gas phase is omitted; (iv) the thermal conductivities of the gas and liquid phases are dismissed. The basic equations for bubbly flows are composed of conservation equations for mass and momentum for the gas and liquid phases in a two-fluid model, the Keller-Miksis equation (i.e., the equation for radial oscillations as the expansion and contraction), and so on. By using the method of multiple scales and the determination of size of three nondimensional ratios that are wavelength, propagation speed and incident wave frequency, we can derive two types of nonlinear wave equations describing long range propagation of plane waves. One is the KdVB equation for a low frequency long wave, and the other is the NLS equation for an envelope wave for a moderately high frequency short carrier wave.

Barycentric Interpolation Collocation Method for the Nonlinear Korteweg-de Vries Burgers’ Equation

The Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers (KdVB) equation plays an important role in both physics and applied mathematics,and it had been solved by many methods. In order to obtain more accurate numerical solutions, we introduce abarycentric interpolation collocation method (BICM) for solving the equation and obtain good results. Severalnumerical examples are selected to verify the high accuracy of the present method.
