    Contributions of higher order terms to nonlinear waves in fluid-filled elastic tubes: strongly dispersive case
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science, 2003-07) Demiray, Hilmi
    In the present work, employing the nonlinear equations of an incompressible, isotropic and elastic thin tube and the approximate equations of an incompressible inviscid fluid, and then utilizing the modified reductive perturbation technique presented by us [15] the amplitude modulation of weakly nonlinear waves is examined. It is shown that the first order term in the perturbation expansion is governed by a nonlinear Schrodinger equation and the second order term is governed by the linearized Schrodinger equation with a nonhomogeneous term. In the longwave limit a travelling wave type of solution to these equations are also given.

    Solitary waves in elastic tubes filled with a layered fluid
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science, 2001-04) Demiray, Hilmi
    In this work, we studied the propagation of weakly non-linear waves in a prestressed thin elastic tube filled with an incompressible layered fluid, where the outer layer is assumed to be inviscid whereas the cylindrical core is considered to be viscous. Using the reductive perturbation technique, the propagation of weakly non-linear waves in the long-wave approximation is studied. The governing equation is shown to be the perturbed Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. A travelling wave type of solution for this evolution equation is sought and it is shown that the amplitude of the solitary wave for the perturbed KdV equation decays slowly with time.

    Modulation of nonlinear waves in a thin elastic tube filled with a viscous fluid
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 1999-11) Demiray, Hilmi
    In the present work, utilizing the nonlinear equations of a prestressed thin elastic tube filled with an incompressible viscous fluid the propagation of weakly nonlinear waves in such a medium is studied. Considering that the arteries are initially subjected to a large static transmural pressure P-0 and an axial stretch lambda(z) and, in the course of blood flow, a finite time dependent displacement is added to this initial field, the nonlinear equations governing the motion of the tube in the radial direction is obtained. Utilizing the reductive perturbation technique the amplitude modulation of weakly nonlinear and dissipative but strongly dispersive waves is examined. The localized travelling wave solution to the evolution equation is given and the stability condition is discussed.

    Weakly non-linear waves in a fluid-filled elastic tube with variable prestretch
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2008-11) Demiray, Hilmi
    In the present work, by utilizing the non-linear equations of motion of an incompressible, isotropic thin elastic tube subjected to a variable prestretch both in the axial and the radial directions and the approximate equations of motion of an incompressible inviscid fluid, which is assumed to be a model for blood, we studied the propagation of weakly non-linear waves in such a medium, in the long wave approximation. Employing the reductive perturbation method we obtained the variable coefficient KdV equation as the evolution equation. By seeking a travelling wave solution to this evolution equation, we observed that the wave speed is variable in the axial coordinate and it decreases for increasing circumferential stretch (or radius). Such a result seems to be plausible from physical considerations.

    Weakly nonlinear waves in a prestressed thin elastic tube containing a viscous fluid
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 1999-11) Antar, Nalan; Demiray, Hilmi
    In this work, we studied the propagation of weakly nonlinear waves in a prestressed thin elastic tube filled with an incompressible viscous fluid. In order to include the geometrical and structural dispersion into analysis, the wall's inertial and sheer deformation are taken into account in determining the inner pressure-inner cross sectional area relation. Using the reductive perturbation technique, the propagation of weakly nonlinear waves, in the long-wave approximation, is shown to be governed by the Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers (KdVB) equation. Due to dependence of coefficients of the governing equation on the initial deformation, the material and viscosity parameters, the profile of the travelling wave solution to the KdVB equation changes with these parameters. These variations are calculated numerically for some elastic materials and the effects of initial deformation and the viscosity parameter on the propagation characteristics are discussed.

    On the existence of some evolution equations in fluid-filled elastic tubes and their progressive wave solutions
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd., 2004-09) Demiray, Hilmi
    In the present work, by employing the nonlinear equations of motion of an incompressible, isotropic and prestressed thin elastic tube and the approximate equations of an incompressible inviscid fluid, we studied the existence of some possible evolution equations in the longwave approximation and their progressive wave solutions. It is shown that, depending on the set of values of the initial deformation, it might be possible to obtain the conventional Korteweg-deVries (KdV) and the modified KdV equations of various forms. Finally, a set of progressive wave solutions is presented for such evolution equations.

    Localized travelling waves in a prestressed thick elastic tube
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science, 2001-10) Demiray, Hilmi
    In the present work, by using the exact non-linear equations of an incompressible inviscid fluid contained in a prestressed thick elastic tube, the propagation of localized travelling wave solution in such a medium is investigated. Employing the hyperbolic tangent method and considering the long-wave limit, we showed that the lowest-order term in the perturbation expansion gives a solitary wave equivalent to the localized travelling wave solution of the Korteweg-de Vries equation. The progressive wave type of solution is also sought for the second-order terms in the perturbation expansion. The correction terms in the speed of propagation are obtained as part of the solution of perturbation equations.

    Non-linear waves in a viscous fluid contained in an elastic tube with variable cross-section
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2006-04) Demiray, Hilmi
    In the present work, treating the large arteries as a thin-walled, long and circularly cylindrical, prestressed elastic tube with variable cross-section and using the reductive perturbation method, we have studied the amplitude modulation of non-linear waves in such a fluid-filled elastic tube. By considering the blood as an incompressible viscous fluid, the evolution equation is obtained as the dissipative non-linear Schrodinger equation with variable coefficients. It is shown that this type of equations admit a solitary wave solution with a variable wave speed. It is observed that, the wave speed increases with distance for narrowing tubes while it decreases for expanding tubes.

    Solitary waves in fluid-filled elastic tubes: weakly dispersive case
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science, 2001-03) Demiray, Hilmi
    In the present work, employing the nonlinear equations of an incompressible, isotropic and elastic thin tube and the approximate equations of an incompressible inviscid fluid, the propagation of weakly nonlinear waves, in such a medium is studied through the use of the modified multiple expansion method. It is shown that the evolution of the lowest order (first-order) term in the perturbation expansion may be described by the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. The governing equation for the second-order terms and the localized travelling wave solution for these equations are also obtained. The applicability of the present model to flow problems in arteries is discussed.

    The dynamic response of an incompressible non-linearly elastic membrane tube subjected to a dynamic extension
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2004-06) Tüzel, Vasfiye Hande; Erbay, Hüsnü Ata
    The dynamic response of an isotropic hyperelastic membrane tube, subjected to a dynamic extension at its one end, is studied. In the first part of the paper, an asymptotic expansion technique is used to derive a non-linear membrane theory for finite axially symmetric dynamic deformations of incompressible non-linearly elastic circular cylindrical tubes by starting from the three-dimensional elasticity theory. The equations governing dynamic axially symmetric deformations of the membrane tube are obtained for an arbitrary form of the strain-energy function. In the second part of the paper, finite amplitude wave propagation in an incompressible hyperelastic membrane tube is considered when one end is fixed and the other is subjected to a suddenly applied dynamic extension. A Godunov-type finite volume method is used to solve numerically the corresponding problem. Numerical results are given for the Mooney-Rivlin incompressible material. The question how the present numerical results are related to those obtained in the literature is discussed.
