    A note on the amplitude modulation of symmetric regularized long-wave equation with quartic nonlinearity
    (Springer, 2012-12) Demiray, Hilmi
    We study the amplitude modulation of a symmetric regularized long-wave equation with quartic nonlinearity through the use of the reductive perturbation method by introducing a new set of slow variables. The nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation with seventh order nonlinearity is obtained as the evolution equation for the lowest order term in the perturbation expansion. It is also shown that the NLS equation with seventh order nonlinearity assumes an envelope type of solitary wave solution.

    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.

    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.

    Re-visiting the head-on collision problem between two solitary waves in shallow water
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2015-03) Özden, Ali Erinç; Demiray, Hilmi
    Upon discovering the wrongness of the statement "although this term does not cause any secularity for this order it will cause secularity at higher order expansion, therefore, that term must vanish" by Su and Mirie [4], in the present work, we studied the head-on collision of two solitary waves propagating in shallow water by introducing a set of stretched coordinates in which the trajectory functions are of order of epsilon(2), where epsilon is the smallness parameter measuring non-linearity. Expanding the field variables and trajectory functions into power series in epsilon, we obtained a set of differential equations governing various terms in the perturbation expansion. By solving them under non-secularity condition we obtained the evolution equations and also the expressions for phase functions. By seeking a progressive wave solution to these evolution equations we have determined the speed correction terms and the phase shifts. As opposed to the result of Su and Mine [4] and similar works, our calculations show that the phase shifts depend on both amplitudes of the colliding waves.

    A study of higher order terms in shallow water waves via modified PLK method
    (Walter De Gruyter GMBH, 2014-04) Demiray, Hilmi
    In this work, by utilizing the modified PLK (Poincare-Lighthill-Kou) method, we studied the propagation of weakly nonlinear waves in a shallow water theory and obtained the Korteweg-deVries (KdV) and the linearized KdV equations with non-homogeneous term as the governing equations of various order terms in the perturbation expansion. The result obtained here is exactly the same with that of Kodama and Taniuti [6], who employed the so-called "re-normalization method". Seeking a progressive wave solution to these evolution equations we obtained the speed correction terms so as to remove some possible secularities. The result obtained here is consistent with the results of Demiray [12], wherein the modified reductive perturbation method had been utilized.

    Non-linear waves in a fluid-filled inhomogeneous elastic tube with variable radius
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Scıence Ltd, 2008-05) Demiray, Hilmi
    In the present work, by employing the non-linear equations of motion of an incompressible, inhomogeneous, isotropic and prestressed thin elastic tube with variable radius and the approximate equations of an inviscid fluid, which is assumed to be a model for blood, we studied the propagation of non-linear waves in such a medium, in the longwave approximation. Utilizing the reductive perturbation method we obtained the variable coefficient Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation as the evolution equation. By seeking a progressive wave type of solution to this evolution equation, we observed that the wave speed decreases for increasing radius and shear modulus, while it increases for decreasing inner radius and the shear modulus.

    An application of the modified reductive perturbation method to a generalized boussinesq equation
    (Walter De Gruyter GMBH, 2013-02) Demiray, Hilmi
    In this work, we apply "the modified reductive perturbation method" to the generalized Boussinesq equation and obtain various form of generalized KdV equations as the evolution equations. Seeking a localized travelling wave solutions for these evolution equations we determine the scale parameters g(1) and g(2), which corresponds to the correction terms in the wave speed, so as to remove the possible secularities that might occur. Depending on the sign and the values of certain parameters the resulting solutions are shown to be a solitary wave or a periodic solution. The suitability of the method is also shown by comparing the results with the exact travelling wave solution for the generalized Boussinesq equation.

    Coupled quintic nonlinear Schrodinger equations in a generalized elastic solid
    (IOP Publishing Ltd, 2004-10-08) Hacınlıyan, Irma; Erbay, Saadet
    In the present study, the nonlinear modulation of transverse waves propagating in a cubically nonlinear dispersive elastic medium is studied using a multiscale expansion of wave solutions. It is found that the propagation of quasimonochromatic transverse waves is described by a pair of coupled nonlinear Schrodinger (CNLS) equations. In the process of deriving the amplitude equations, it is observed that for a specific choice of material constants and wavenumber, the coefficient of nonlinear terms becomes zero, and the CNLS equations are no longer valid for describing the behaviour of transverse waves. In order to balance the nonlinear effects with the dispersive effects, by intensifying the nonlinearity, a new perturbation expansion is used near the critical wavenumber. It is found that the long time behaviour of the transverse waves about the critical wavenumber is given by a pair of coupled quintic nonlinear Schrodinger (CQNLS) equations. In the absence of one of the transverse waves, the CQNLS equations reduce to the single quintic nonlinear Schrodinger (QNLS) equation which has already been obtained in the context of water waves. By using a modified form of the so-called tanh method, some travelling wave solutions of the CQNLS equations are presented.

    Contribution of higher order terms in electron-acoustic solitary waves with vortex electron distribution
    (Springer Basel AG, 2014-12) Demiray, Hilmi
    The basic equations describing the nonlinear electron-acoustic waves in a plasma composed of a cold electron fluid, hot electrons obeying a trapped/vortex-like distribution, and stationary ions, in the long-wave limit, are re-examined through the use of the modified PLK method. Introducing the concept of strained coordinates and expanding the field variables into a power series of the smallness parameter epsilon, a set of evolution equations is obtained for various order terms in the perturbation expansion. The evolution equation for the lowest order term in the perturbation expansion is characterized by the conventional modified Korteweg-deVries (mKdV) equation, whereas the evolution equations for the higher order terms in the expansion are described by the degenerate(linearized) mKdV equation. By studying the localized traveling wave solution to the evolution equations, the strained coordinate for this order is determined so as to remove possible secularities that might occur in the solution. It is observed that the coefficient of the strained coordinate for this order corresponds to the correction term in the wave speed. The numerical results reveal that the contribution of second order term to the wave amplitude is about 20 %, which cannot be ignored.
