    A numerical study of the long wave-short wave interaction equations
    (Elsevier B.V., 2007-03-07) Borluk, Handan; Muslu, Gülçin Mihriye; Erbay, Hüsnü Ata
    Two numerical methods are presented for the periodic initial-value problem of the long wave-short wave interaction equations describing the interaction between one long longitudinal wave and two short transverse waves propagating in a generalized elastic medium. The first one is the relaxation method, which is implicit with second-order accuracy in both space and time. The second one is the split-step Fourier method, which is of spectral-order accuracy in space. We consider the first-, second- and fourth-order versions of the split-step method, which are first-, second- and fourth-order accurate in time, respectively. The present split-step method profits from the existence of a simple analytical solution for the nonlinear subproblem. We numerically test both the relaxation method and the split-step schemes for a problem concerning the motion of a single solitary wave. We compare the accuracies of the split-step schemes with that of the relaxation method. Assessments of the efficiency of the schemes show that the fourth-order split-step Fourier scheme is the most efficient among the numerical schemes considered.

    A note on the wave propagation in water of variable depth
    (Elsevier Science Inc, 2011-11-01) 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 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.

    Head-on collision of solitary waves in fluid-filled elastic tubes
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2005-08) Demiray, Hilmi
    In this work, treating the arteries as a thin walled, prestressed thin elastic tube and the blood as an inviscid fluid, we have studied the propagation of nonlinear waves, in the longwave approximation, through the use of extended PLK perturbation method. The results show that, up to O(epsilon(2)), the head-on collision of two solitary waves is elastic and the solitary waves preserve their original properties after the collision. The leading-order analytical phase shifts and the trajectories of two solitons after the collision are derived explicitly.

    The effect of a bump on wave propagation in a fluid-filled elastic tube
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd., 2004-01) Demiray, Hilmi
    In the present work, treating the arteries as a thin walled prestressed elastic tube with variable cross-section, 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 viscous fluid the evolution equation is obtained as the perturbed Korteweg-de Vries equation with variable coefficients. 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 gets smaller and smaller as we go away from the center of the bump. The wave speed reaches to its maximum value at the center of the bump.

    A higher-order model for transverse waves in a generalized elastic solid
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science, 2002-11) Hacınlıyan, Avadis Simon; Erbay, Saadet
    In the present study, the nonlinear modulation of transverse waves propagating in a generalized elastic solid is studied using a multi-scale expansion of quasi-monochromatic wave solutions. In particular, to include the higher-order nonlinear and dispersive effects in the evolution equations, higher-order perturbation equations are considered, and it is shown that the modulation of two transverse waves is governed by a pair of the coupled higher-order nonlinear Schrodinger (HONLS) equations. In the absence of one of the transverse waves, the coupled HONLS equations reduce to the single HONLS equation that has already been obtained in the context of nonlinear optics. Some special solutions to the coupled HONLS equations are also presented.

    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.

    Two-dimensional wave packets in an elastic solid with couple stresses
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2004-08) Babaoğlu, Ceni; Erbay, Saadet
    The problem of (2+1) (two spatial and one temporal) dimensional wave propagation in a bulk medium composed of an elastic material with couple stresses is considered. The aim is to derive (2+1) non-linear model equations for the description of elastic waves in the far field. Using a multi-scale expansion of quasi-monochromatic wave solutions, it is shown that the modulation of waves is governed by a system of three non-linear evolution equations. These equations involve amplitudes of a short transverse wave, a long transverse wave and a long longitudinal wave, and will be called the "generalized Davey Stewartson equations". Under some restrictions on parameter values, the generalized Davey-Stewartson equations reduce to the Davey-Stewartson and to the non-linear Schrodinger equations. Finally, some special solutions involving sech-tanh-tanh and tanh-tanh-tanh type solitary wave solutions are presented.
