    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.

    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

    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].

    Forced KdV equation in a fluid-filled elastic tube with variable initial stretches
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2009-11) Demiray, Hilmi
    In this work, by utilizing the nonlinear equations of motion of an incompressible, isotropic thin elastic tube subjected to a variable initial stretches 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 have studied the propagation of nonlinear waves in such a medium under the assumption of long wave approximation. Employing the reductive perturbation method we obtained the variable coefficient forced KdV equation as the evolution equation. By use of proper transformations for the dependent field and independent coordinate variables, we have shown that this evolution equation reduces to the conventional KdV equation, which admits the progressive wave solution. The numerical results reveal 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. We further observed that, the wave amplitude gets smaller and smaller with increasing time parameter along the tube axis.

    Forced Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers equation in an elastic tube filled with a variable viscosity fluid
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2008-11) Gaik, Tay Kim; Demiray, Hilmi
    In the present work, treating the arteries as a prestressed thin walled elastic tube with a stenosis and the blood as a Newtonian fluid with variable viscosity, we have studied the propagation of weakly nonlinear waves in such a composite medium, in the long wave approximation, by use of the reductive perturbation method [Jeffrey A, Kawahara T. Asymptotic methods in nonlinear wave theory. Boston: Pitman; 1981]. We obtained the forced Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers (FKdVB) equation with variable coefficients as the evolution equation. By use of the coordinate transformation, it is shown that this type of evolution equation admits a progressive wave solution with variable wave speed. As might be expected from physical consideration, the wave speed reaches its maximum value at the center of stenosis and gets smaller and smaller as we go away from the center of the stenosis. The variations of radial displacement and the fluid pressure with the distance parameter are also examined numerically. The results seem to be consistent with physical intuition.

    Variable coefficient modified KdV equation in fluid-filled elastic tubes with stenosis: Solitary waves
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2009-10-15) Demiray, Hilmi
    In the present work, treating the arteries as a thin walled prestressed elastic tube with variable radius, 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 non-viscous fluid, the evolution equation is obtained as variable coefficients Korteweg-de Vries equation. Noticing that for a set of initial deformations, the coefficient characterizing the nonlinearity vanish, by re-scaling the stretched coordinates we obtained the variable coefficient modified KdV equation. Progressive wave solution is sought for this evolution equation and it is found that the speed of the wave is variable along the tube axis.

    Nonlinear waves in an elastic tube with variable prestretch filled with a fluid of variable viscosity
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2008-10) Demiray, Hilmi
    In the present work, by employing the reductive perturbation method to the nonlinear equations of an incompressible, prestressed, homogeneous and isotropic thin elastic tube and to the exact equations of an incompressible Newtonian fluid of variable viscosity, we have studied weakly nonlinear waves in such a medium and obtained the variable coefficient Korteweg-deVries-Burgers (KdV-B) equation as the evolution equation. For this purpose, we treated the artery as an incompressible, homogeneous and isotropic elastic material subjected to variable stretches both in the axial and circumferential directions initially, and the blood as an incompressible Newtonian fluid whose viscosity changes with the radial coordinate. By seeking a travelling wave solution to this evolution equation, we observed that the wave front is not a plane anymore, it is rather a curved surface. This is the result of the variable radius of the tube. The numerical calculations indicate 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, like Bernoulli's law. We further observed that, the amplitude of the Burgers shock gets smaller and smaller with increasing time parameter along the tube axis. This is again due to the variable radius, but the effect of it is quite small.

    Multiple time scale formalism and its application to long water waves
    (Elsevier Science Inc, 2010-05) Demiray, Hilmi
    In the present work, by employing the multiple time scaling method, we studied the non-linear waves in shallow-water problem and obtained a set of Korteweg-deVries equations governing the various order terms in the perturbation expansion. By seeking a travelling wave type of solutions for the evolution equations, we have obtained a set of wave speeds associated with each time parameter. It is shown that the speed corresponding to the lowest order time parameter given the wave speed of the conventional reductive perturbation method, whereas the wave speeds corresponding to the higher order time parameters give the speed correction terms. The result obtained here is exactly the same with that of Demiray [H. Demiray, Modified reductive perturbation method as applied to long water waves: Korteweg-deVries hierarchy, Int. J. Nonlinear Sci. 6 (2008) 11-20] who employed the modified reductive perturbation method.

    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.
