    Waves in an elastic tube filled with a heterogeneous fluid of variable viscosity
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2009-07) Demiray, Hilmi
    By treating the artery as a prestressed thin elastic tube and the blood as an incompressible heterogeneous fluid with variable viscosity. we studied the propagation of weakly non-linear waves in such a composite medium through the use of reductive perturbation method. By assuming a variable density and a variable viscosity for blood in the radial direction we obtained the perturbed Korteweg-deVries equation as the evolution equation when the viscosity is of order of epsilon(3/2). We observed that the perturbed character is the combined result of the viscosity and the heterogeneity of the blood. A progressive wave type of solution is presented for the evolution equation and the result is discussed. The numerical results indicate that for a certain value of the density parameter sigma, the wave equation loses its dispersive character and the evolution equation degenerates. It is further shown that, for the perturbed KdV equation both the amplitude and the wave speed decay in the time parameter tau.

    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.

    (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.

    Diffraction of two-dimensional high-frequency electromagnetic waves by a locally perturbed two-part impedance plane
    (Elsevier Science BV, 2005-06) İdemen, Mehmet Mithat; Alkumru, Ali
    During the second half of the last century mixed boundary-value problems had been an appealing research subject for both mathematicians and engineers. Among this kind of problems those connected with wave propagation in half-spaces or slabs bounded by sectionally homogeneous boundaries took an important place because they were motivated by microwave applications. The simplest problem of this kind is the classical two-part problem which can be reduced to a functional equation involving two unknown functions, say psi(+)(v) and psi(-)(v), which are regular in the upper and lower halves of the complex v-plane, respectively. This functional equation can be rigorously treated by the Wiener-Hopf technique. When the boundary consists of three (or more) parts, the resulting functional equation involves also an entire function, say P(v), in addition to psi(+)(v) and psi(-)(v), which makes the problem not solvable exactly. A local (non-homogeneous) perturbation on a two-part boundary, which is of extreme importance from engineering point of view, gives also rise to a problem of this type. The known methods established to overcome the difficulties inherent to the three-part problems are based on the elimination of the entire function P(v) first to obtain a linear system of two singular integral equations for psi(+) and psi(-). After having determined the functions psi(+)(v) and psi(-)(v) by solving this system of integral equations numerically, the function P(v) is found from the functional equation in question. Numerical solutions to the aforementioned system, which need rather hard computations, cannot provide results which are suitable to physical interpretations. The aim of the present paper is to establish a new method which is based, conversely, on the elimination of the unknown functions psi(+)(v) and psi(-)(v) first to obtain a linear integral equation of the first kind for the entire function P(v), which can be solved rather easily by regularized numerical methods. Then the functions psi(+)(v) and psi(-)(v) are determined through the classical Wiener-Hopf technique. The result to be obtained by this approach seems to be more suitable to physical interpretations and permits one to reveal the effect of the perturbation on the scattered wave. Some illustrative examples show the applicability and effectiveness of the method.

    A method for higher-order expansion in non-linear ion-acoustic waves
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science, 2000-03) Demiray, Hilmi
    The basic equations describing the non-linear ion-acoustic waves in a cold collisionless plasma, in the longwave limit, is re-examined through the use of a modified multiple-scale expansion method. Expanding the field quantities into a power series of the smallness parameter epsilon, a Set Of evolution equations is obtained for various terms in the perturbation expansion. To illustrate the present derivation, a localized travelling wave solution is studied for the derived field equations and the result is compared with those of Malfliet and Wieers (J. Plasma Phys. 56 (1996) 441-450), who employed the dressed solitary wave approach from the outset of their study.

    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.

    Weakly non-linear waves in a tapered elastic tube filled with an inviscid fluid
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2005-07) Bakırtaş, İlkay; Demiray, Hilmi
    In the present work, treating the artery as a tapered, thin walled, long and circularly conical prestressed elastic tube and using the longwave approximation, we have studied the propagation of weakly non-linear 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 equation admits a solitary wave-type solution with variable wave speed. It is observed that, the wave speed decreases with distance for positive tapering while it increases for negative tapering. It is further observed that, the progressive wave profile for expanding tubes (a > 0) becomes more steepened whereas for narrowing tubes (a < 0) it becomes more flattened.
