    Interactions of nonlinear acoustic waves in a fluid-filled elastic tube
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science, 2001-03) Akgün, Güler; Demiray, Hilmi
    In the present work, the nonlinear interactions of two acoustical waves propagating in a fluid-filled elastic tube with different wave numbers, frequencies and group velocities are examined. Employing the multiple-scale expansion method, expanding the field quantities into asymptotic series of the smallness parameter and solving the resulting differential equations of various orders of the same parameter, we obtained two coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equations. The nonlinear plane wave solutions to these equations are also given for some special cases.

    Weakly nonlinear waves in water of variable depth: Variable-coefficient Korteweg-de Vries equation
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2010-09) Demiray, Hilmi
    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 non-linear waves in water of variable depth. For the case of slowly varying depth, the evolution equation is obtained as a variable-coefficient Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. A progressive wave type of solution, which satisfies the evolution equation in the integral sense but not point by point, is presented. The resulting solution is numerically evaluated for two selected bottom profile functions, and it is observed that the wave amplitude increases but the band width of the solitary wave decreases with increasing undulation of the bottom profile.

    Modulation of nonlinear waves in a viscous fluid contained in a tapered elastic tube
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science, 2002-10) Demiray, Hilmi
    In the present work, treating the arteries as a tapered, thin walled, long and circularly conical prestressed elastic tube and the blood as a Newtonian fluid, we have studied the amplitude modulation of nonlinear waves in such a fluid-filled elastic tube, by use of the reductive perturbation method. The governing evolution equation is obtained as the dissipative nonlinear Schrodinger equation with variable coefficients. It is shown that this type of equations admit solitary wave solutions with variable wave amplitude and speed. It is observed that, the wave speed increases with distance for tubes of descending radius while it decreases for tubes of ascending radius. The dissipative effects cause a decay in wave amplitude and wave speed.

    Higher order perturbation expansion of waves in water of variable depth
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2010-01) Demiray, Hilmi
    In this work, we extended the application of "the modified reductive perturbation method" to long waves in water of variable depth and obtained a set of KdV equations as the governing equations. Seeking a localized travelling wave solution to these evolution equations we determine the scale function c(1)(tau) so as to remove the possible secularities that might occur. We showed that for waves in water of variable depth, the phase function is not linear anymore in the variables x and t. It is further shown that, due to the variable depth of the water, the speed of the propagation is also variable in the x coordinate

    Modulation of non-linear axial and transverse waves in a fluid-filled thin elastic tube
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science, 2000-07) Akgün, Güler; Demiray, Hilmi
    In the present work, utilizing the non-linear equations of a pre-stressed thin elastic tube filled with an incompressible inviscid fluid the propagation of weakly non-linear 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 non-linear equations governing the motion of the tube in the radial and axial directions are obtained. Utilizing the reductive perturbation technique the amplitude modulation of weakly non-linear but strongly dispersive waves is examined. The localized travelling wave solution to the evolution equation is given and the stability condition is discussed.

    On the derivation of some non-linear evolution equations and their progressive wave solutions
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science, 2003-06) Demiray, Hilmi
    In the present work, utilizing the reductive perturbation method, the non-linear equations of a prestressed viscoelastic thick tube filled with a viscous fluid are examined in the longwave approximation and some evolution equations and their modified forms are derived. The analytical solution of some of these equations are obtained and it is shown that for perturbed cases, the wave amplitude and the phase velocity decay in the time parameter.

    Head-on-collision of nonlinear waves in a fluid of variable viscosity contained in an elastic tube
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2009-08-30) Demiray, Hilmi
    In this work, treating the arteries as a thin walled, prestressed elastic tube and the blood as an incompressible viscous fluid of variable viscosity, we have studied the interactions of two nonlinear waves, in the long wave approximation, through the use of extended PLK perturbation method, and the evolution equations are shown to be the Korteweg-deVries-Burgers equation. The results show that, Up to O(is an element of(3/2)), the head-on-collision of two nonlinear progressive waves is elastic and the nonlinear progressive waves preserve their original properties after the collision. The phase functions for each wave are derived explicitly and it is shown that they are not straight lines anymore, they are rather some curves.

    An application of modified reductive perturbation method to long water waves
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2011-12) Demiray, Hilmi
    In this work, we extended the application of "the modified reductive perturbation method" to long water waves and obtained the governing equations as the KdV hierarchy. Seeking a localized travelling wave solutions to these evolution equations we determined the scale parameter c(1) so as to remove the possible secularities that might occur. The present method is seen to be fairly simple as compared to the renormalization method [Kodama, Y., & Taniuti, T. (1977). Higher order approximation in reductive perturbation method 1. Weakly dispersive system. Journal of Physics Society of Japan, 45, 298-310] and the multiple scale expansion method [Kraenkel, R. A., Manna, M. A., & Pereira, J. G. (1995). The Korteweg-deVries hierarchy and long water waves. Journal of Mathematics Physics, 36, 307-320].

    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.

    Solitary waves in a tapered prestressed fluid-filled elastic tube
    (Birkhauser Verlag AG, 2004-03) Demiray, Hilmi
    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.
